Just Wanting To Do Our Part

Fox News' Bill O'Reilly says in his Talking Points column today that when the story is reported tomorrow, we will hear little about how the Senate has voted 98 to 0 to allow U.S. military bases to host Boy Scout events. Meaning, according to Mr. O'Reilly, "even the most liberal senators in the country oppose the ACLU, which want the Boy Scouts banned from all federal property and has sued to make that happen."

Now we don't always agree with Mr. O'Reilly but he has come out quite strongly lately about stuff that we care about very much. So, if mainstream media will continue in their betrayal of public trust by filtering news to only allow the liberal point of view to appear as though it is "America's point of view," then we just want to do our part in bringing attention to news that they will not report about.

Apart from the Boy Scouts, we care about pointing out bias in media and tracking development in media towards fairness and balance in reporting. We care about America and, again, as Mr. O'Reilly puts it:

...that most Americans are not ideologues. They're just everyday folks who want protection from people who would kill us. They want information about the border, about al Qaeda, about what the government is doing to defeat the enemy. Most Americans do not want to hear the USA is the bad guy in the war on terror, which some liberal media are pedaling. They do not feel the mistakes at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay define this country. They do not believe the ACLU is looking out for them.
We care about calling attention to those whose warped sense of ideology blind them from the fact that they are actually traitors to the land they call home, preferring to defend the "rights" (?) of murderers rather than honor men and women who place themselves in harm's way to keep this home indeed the land of the free.

We care about children and in protecting them against abuse.

So, just in case you've missed reading about these stuff in Mr. O'Reilly's writing, you may find them here, here and here.

God bless you all.
