Freedom of the press requires truth

President Obama’s replacement of  General Stanley McChrystal with General David Petraeus has once again exposed the blatant deception of much of America’s media.  This general was blasted as “General Betray-us” not quite 3 years ago when he was chosen by President Bush to lead the war in Iraq.  Now, the same media is calling President Obama’s choice “brilliant”, while purging their archives of this previous outrage against a great military leader.

I must scream from the mountaintop that FREEDOM OF THE PRESS REQUIRES TRUTH.  Otherwise, it is just PROPAGANDA.  Any student of history knows the results of feeding the citizens propaganda.

We are all in danger of losing our freedoms because our media has been taken over by ideologues who are pushing an agenda and are not being journalistically honest.

A free society cannot remain free with a steady diet of propaganda.  We don’t have to agree on policies, but we must have the INTEGRITY to present the FACTS, no matter how we may interpret them.

JUST TELL THE TRUTH!! And you will not find it necessary to purge stories from your archives.
