Bob McCarty Writes

In a recent article published in Philadelphia’s Bulletin family newspaper, Herb Denenberg used nearly 2,700 words to opine about Janet Napolitano’s decision to refer to “terrorism” as “man-caused disasters.”  The part of his commentary that caught my attention had less to do with the Homeland Security chief’s semantics policies than with media bias evident in the modern mainstream news media.  It appears below:

First, they show how the mainstream media has totally betrayed the American people by censoring news they think might not support the positions of their Messiah, President Obama. The kind of idiocy on display in the Napolitano-Obama use of terminology should be a major story, because it suggests that the leaders of America in the war on terror don’t have a clue. How can they, when they think they’re trying to prevent “man-caused disasters” and “overseas contingency operation”?

Second, and even more frightening, you have to wonder if the Obama administration and Secretary Napolitano don’t have enough sense to even describe the war we’re in and the nature of our enemies, what does that say about their judgment on more important matters. They are entrusted with the responsibility to protect us from terrorists and all other enemies. If they can’t even get past the most elementary terminology, what happens when they go to more complicated issues?

Third, this shows again the importance of doing something about media bias, which is now way out of control. This is just one of many illustrations of how the biased, dishonest and fraudulent journalism is not merely making it difficult for the public to get the truth, but much worse than that it is so severely distorting the picture of reality that it keeps the American people from understanding what’s going on in the world, and the extent of the danger we’re in.
