Subject: RE: BS: Rabbis Push FOX to Bust Beck...
One of the reasons I hate the media today. Everything from all sides is just so distorted that it makes me want to scream. I hear this stuff about the tea party movement. Although I do not agree with them in politics at all I have neighbors and friends that support them and what those people are saying it is hard to disagree with. Who doesn't want lower taxes and more jobs. Good people and bad people come in all walks of life, across all political parties, across all religions and non religions. Yet the media presents them as gun toting crazies, likewise Fox news will banter the term progressive around like it is a dirty word. Yet when one looks back at history, great things came out of the progressive movement, like new laws against child labor etc ... again that is now a term of hate that is passed around like a pot of coffee. Sooner or later, we need to wake up as a people and look for areas that bring together answers for complex problems or simply fail as a nation. To continue to embrace the hate that blasts back and forth on all sides is counter productive to America and labeling people via politics is a bad as labeling people by race .. I think anyway. The new media today embraces the hate messages because of its entertainment value.
