Last night I watched the 1975 movie Hindenburg
I have had it for years, in fact my copy is on VHS, if that give you any idea of the age of my copy but it has been years since I have watched it and had forgotten much of the movie.
You may now be asking what does this have to do with Politics 2012?
The movie for those who may have not seen it or like me it had been a while, is about the final flight of the German Airship, Hindenburg. One thing which was made very clear was the methods of the Nazi government, including the actions of the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (MPEP).
Now for Politics 2012. FOX News is serving the position of the MPEP, Rush, Glenn and the others on AM Conservative Talk Radio (AMCTR) are part of the MPEP too.
I don't just mean they are taking the Republican side as does some of the other media outlets which don't actually allow a fair discussion but they are simply taking sides.
What FOX and AMCTR are doing is actively creating deliberately false negative information about the other side or false positive information about their side, just like the MPEP. They, in the cheaply veiled facade of news are helping to create an alternative reality which millions are willing to believe.
FOX and AMCTR is dangerous for our nation, our way of life.
Sadly, I don't know the solution. I don't know the answer.
What should we do to stop this madness?
With the 1st Amendment is there anything which can be done?
Does the 1st Amendment defend this type of speech?
What do you all think?
