Barbara Walters is a seasoned journalist. Barbara Walters has a responsibility, as co-owner/producer of the View, to ensure that her show presents factually correct, fair and accurate coverage of serious news, whenever it should choose to cover serious news. This morning, the show decided to cover the serious news about the snatched British naval personnel, and Rosie O’Donnel decided to flatly lie when she claimed that the Brits “apparently went into Iranian waters”. Now Rosie did this because she knows full well that Iran’s claim that the Brits went into those waters is the only excuse that the Iranians have for what may well be a political/military kidnapping - ie, an unprovoked act of Iranian military aggression. Rosie, in at best an absence of all facts, and at worst, despite all the facts at hand, including an eyewitness account to the contrary, chose to officially endorse the enemy’s position on one of the most dangerous situations the world faces today. By doing so, she also demolished any shred of credibility either she or the show has, by claiming that she, who was not an eyewitness to the events, knew it was nakedly apparent that the Brits were in Iranian, not Iraqi waters. She, of course, presented no evidence to support her claim. And The View regulary and officially presents ( and I guess, therefor, endorses ) often racist, religiously discriminatory, hetero-phobic and anti-American statements by its hosts, all tenedered in an absence of supporting facts.

Now, when an official representative of her show chooses to both report and editorialize in a serious fashion on the most serious of situations, Barbara Walters has the responsibility to make sure her show gets the facts straight. She should challenge any of her news co-hosts when they choose to misreport the news or editorialize in a factually dishonest manner. Barbara herself lays claim to the mantle of Grande Dame of Journalism. As usual, Barbara sat silently, refusing to defend the truth.

Why does Barbara repeatedly let Rosie spout enemy propaganda, without challenging her? Is Barbara tacitly endorsing it herself? Does she believe what Rosie is saying? Why does she repeatedly let Rosie slander Chrisitans, minorities, heterosexuals, etc? Why does Barbara, an Elder Statesman of journalism, sit back like a scared rabbit and never correct or challenge her hosts when they misreport facts like Rosie did today, or make hate speech like Rosie regularly does? Where is Barbara’s concern for her own integrity? For her show’s integrity? Well, clearly Barbara has abandoned integrity for profit. Because when Rosie does this, everyone talks about it, and then more people watch The View. Cha ching. And Barbara owns half the show. So she has clearly and officially decided to whore herself and her integrity out for money. Journalism and America’s best interests be damned. Barbara, like all whores, is only concerned with the fact that she has money to make, and times a wastin’.

And let us keep in mind that these political discussions on television are not private, in-the-family chats viewed and analyzed only by Americans. These are international forums viewed by the enemy as well. When a Rosie or a David Gregory chooses to side with the enemy’s positions, and creates talking points to endorse those positions, they in fact hand those anti-American talking points to the enemy. And they often intentionally create positions helpful to the enemy that the enemy hasn’t even thought of. They do this, because they want us to lose the war in order to promote the Democratic Party. They also do it to advance their own game of brainwashing the American people to their political side.

All of these type of journalists, spanning Helen Thomas to Wolf Blitzer to Anderson Cooper, are actually political activists masquerading as journalists. They embody the modern phenemenon of the Con-Man Journalist. The con pivots on the journalist’s pretense of fair-mindedness and objectivity. Con is short for confidence - they must have the audience’s confidence in order to fool them, and thereby achieve their final goal of “robbing” them of an accurate understanding of the facts. So it is imperative that they make their audience believe that they are objective. They rely on the audience to buy this objectivity con in order for the audience to believe that what they are being told is an honest, unbiased version of facts. As far as the Con Man Journalist is concerned, the audience must never understand his agenda, or the con falls apart. The audience must never understand that his only interest is to advance his agenda, not to report the truth. He will not only manipualte facts, manipulate context, use old school tricks of language and imagery, but will omit facts, tell outright lies - whatever it takes - in order to succesfully propagandize and brainwash his victims. In this case, given that the Mainstream Media is dominated by Con Men Journalists like David Gregory, the victim is Mainstream America.

Apparently because it provides for such political expedience, the Left at times doesn’t even seem to realize how often they take the enemy’s side. On his show last night, Alan Colmes got caught endorsing the iranians’ version of events over our allies the Brits version. Laura Ingraham simply asked him why he was doing this. Embarrased, he of course got aggressively indignant and accused her of hitting below the belt. All she did was ask why he was doing what in fact he was doing. He flipped out, and was so desperate to deny, that he chose to deflect, leveling accusations at her.
