Stir the Pot

My previous post mentions Good Morning America. This Sunday's program had a news story about the G-20 Summit. The reporterette had the gaul to say that the menu at the Summit raised eyebrows as the leaders dined on lamb and wine that cost upward of $400. Is she kidding? These are the leaders of the twenty largest economies on earth. Did she expect them to wait in line at a soup kitchen or go thru the takeout window at McDonald's. Does she believe the Obamas will subsist on bread and water? This is promulgating class envy and populist bull. There is little sense and even less integrity in the old line media. I heard today on Fox News Sunday that Dick Parsons, the head of Time Warner, is a senior Obama advisor. That relationship should have been mentioned early and often by every magazine and news program generated by his company, then those voters who were not cognizant of it could have taken everything reported with a grain of salt. News should be objective, not an editorial in disguise, tainted with concealed bias.
