Charlie Daniels speaks out regarding the U.S. MEDIA!!!
« on: July 08, 2013, 03:40:58 pm »
Charlie Daniels, is an American Patriot and famous Country Western Singer.



The Press and Paula Deen - Soapbox 07/01/13

I think that if anything exemplifies the overt prejudice and determination of the American media to report only the news that suits their social and political interests and concept of what does and does not fit their agenda, it?s the totally overblown coverage of something Paula Deen said 20 years ago, and some party she planned that she wanted to resemble a plantation scene featuring black male waiters in period dress.

If Hollywood plans a movie featuring black waiters in a plantation scene or portray women as prostitutes or cast minorities in caricature roles does the media get upset and start calling the movie moguls racists?

Is there any grown person who could truthfully declare under oath that they have never uttered something that someone might find personally offensive?

?Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.?

Do the twenty-year-old words of a lady with a television cooking show trump the lie an Attorney General told Congress, or officials at the IRS usurping the rights of the American public and pleading the fifth amendment when confronted about it or the hiding of the facts surrounding the murder of four Americans at a Consulate in Libya or the incredibly shabby image of a president taking a one hundred million dollar vacation in this economy while closing down tours of the White House or the NSA invasion on the privacy of millions of unsuspecting citizens?

I think not, and yet these and other stories of the utmost importance were either ignored or given a back seat to the Paula Deen story which, when taken in context with the high level scandals, Putin's snubbing of an American president, the potentially explosive situations in so much of the world the story was certainly not newsworthy enough to be featured five nights in a row on network news.

Wouldn't a week-long investigation into the life of Lois Lerner, the things she's done and the reason she's pleading the fifth be more meaningful to the American people?

What about what's going on in Israel ? The media has been strangely quiet on that front lately, is there nothing worth reporting in that volatile part of the world?

How about the coming catastrophic tidal wave the effect of Obamacare is going to have on America , is there nothing worth questioning in the over 30,000 pages of regulations?

How about the fact that due to federal over regulation it's nearly impossible to live in the U.S. without breaking some law?

How about the Christian pastor who is being held in one of the worst hell hole prisons in the world in Iran for nothing more than sharing his faith?

How about a whole way of life that's being destroyed in West Virginia by the president's war on coal?

I think you get the picture.

No wonder the mainstream media has fallen so far in the trust of the American people.

Why is the Paula Deen story worth so much airtime if not to take attention off the truly important issue, the life changing things that really affect the lives of Americans?

The news is not about news anymore. It's about protecting some people, destroying others and shoving a socialist agenda down the collective throats of America .

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem .

God Bless America ,

Charlie Daniels

I am not American but I can relate to everything that is said is this article. The media has one agenda and it is sad. We had a situation at our school this past year. One news crew came the day after and did a report. The following day our other news crew came and waited off school grounds to catch some students to interview. But their timing was off and they missed recess and lunch. So the evening news reported that students ( 550 kids from grades 7 to 12) were kept in school during recess and lunch today. To make things worst there was a police car on the parking lot at closing time on an unrelated matter. But the press reported that students were escorted to the busses by police officers. The media was contacted about the errors and the lies but they refused to do a retraction. Our student body suffered as a result, students would ask us ," why did they do that to us" . It was sad to say the least.
What are we here for but to help others. (Author unknown)

As a Canadian, I will not comment on many of the points made, but from the start I have wondered about the Paula Deen, and other stories - it seems to be very much a tempest in a tea-pot and not worth the extended coverage.

In general, I find the media gets a bone in their teeth and can't let go.  They go around and around and around, making mountains out of mole hills, possibly because it is easier to rehash a "simple" story like the Paula Deen story, then to dig up significant news. 

I also find they often get their "facts" wrong, something that simple fact checking would correct, and don't care to correct them.

Well said by Charlie. A lot of his songs he sings are good and about how America is. People are doing much worse things than saying an accidental "racist" word.

Oh yeah I almost forgot. Did anyone see the story about "Lil Wayne" dancing on the American flag in one of his music videos. That is just pitifull. After a second he should have realized it had fallen and he was stepping on it, but no he kept on stepping. I don't know about the rest of you guys on here, but I don't like it one bit someone dancing on the American flag and that is more of a big deal that Paula saying the "N " word on tv.

I agree Dustin. Dancing on the American flag trumps Paula Deen, yet we heard almost nothing about it. I believe he knew what he was doing. I have talked with some Black veterans and they are more upset over Lil Wayne than they are Paula.

I watch the news only for the local stuff and not much of that...killing, greed. corruption, etc. all too much.

For international news I go to the PBS channel or BBCAmerica for the news without the U.S. media 'slant'!
