MSM Driving The Getaway Car

With yesterday’s demolition of the rights of the people, in favor of big government/big business, you’d think there would be a great deal of media attention paid to the issue. After all, this was no small decision. It has the potential to do enormous harm to homeowners and small businesses. But on the front pages of Fox News, CNN and MSNBC, the story that was so very briefly in big print, has now suddenly fallen to small print, buried securely under a ton of fluff.

The biggest beneficiaries of the Supreme Court decision will be both government and big business. This issue steps arrogantly and completely over our petty political divisions. It is not Liberal or Conservative. It is not Republican or Democrat. It is the People being victimized by a government/business hegemony that will profit handsomely at the expense of the average Joe. You can doggone sure bet that they want this story to go away as quickly as possible because it has the potential to bring a divided electorate together for a single cause and that would be bad for both the politician and business.
