Silence of the Liberals
July 24th, 2008 by Bill ColleyWhere were the newspapers? Where was WBOC? How about the America loathing crowd at WDEL? The biggest political story on this peninsula since the demise of Wayne Gilchrest and all you’re seeing, reading and hearing elsewhere is that the cotton candy is good at this year’s fair. Why not just run the story from last year?
Forty eight hours and counting as I write and these people still have their heads in the sand. Considering most of them are in the tank for Mr. Carney why would they ignore a story about the GOP nominee which is a 12 on a scale of ten?
The answer I believe rests with the old charge. Liberal media. It isn’t enough to be in the tank for Carney but when social engineering is the latest goal of most newspaper editors then you begin getting a brighter picture. Latino people, including the illegal invaders, are a protected “under” class for the mainstream media. Allowing illegal invaders an opportunity to tear away chunks of our nation and culture is the right thing to do because whitey has been such a nasty oppressor. It’s time for reparations.
You can’t tell me the prissy editors in Wilmington don’t know how the majority view the invasion. You can’t tell me these cabernet sippers wouldn’t know how the public north of Magnolia would react. So the media barons of Wilmington strive to keep the good folks up north in the dark. Yet these same guardians of public virtue wonder why they fail. Circulation plummets and they claim we’ve been made stupid by video games and the internet. Children no longer read. Adults would rather watch game shows. And talk radio of the kind we do is feeding on paranoia and fear.
On the other hand these barons of a dying breed might consider they’ve missed the boat and that a shrewd public can see self-censorship.
Here was an opportunity to hand the election for Governor gift-wrapped to the Democrats. Yet because Julio’s feelings would be hurt the story had to be ignored. There must be a shrink on-call at the News Journal.

They probably didnt follow it because they actually agreed with the plan, and were dumbfounded by the whiplash.

The media was “found dumb”..very likely. Depictureboy is saying when the story is about the community responding negatively to what the media supports, then the story isn’t worthy of print or broadcast. In short, he/she is saying if you disagree with the media, your voice won’t be heard. I agree depictureboy, the media definitely has this agenda.

Yeah, I think that was partially his point.
