Investor’s Business Daily offers some crucial insights and data points on media bias and the popular knowledge gap created by a lack of transparency in government, which the media is supposed to provide. (SO: Bernie Goldberg)
This is highly concerning. But if one is dismissive of the idea that there is media bias, check this data point: TV network like ABC’s employees gave 80 times as much in financial contributions to Obama’s presidential campaign as they gave to his opponent’s.
That’s concrete. You put your money where your mouth is. Or where it is not.
All this only underscores my concerns about Faction and the present Knowledge Gap and the present mainstream media bias, and it gives credence to those who believe Obamacasting is real and designed to provide cover for the advance of American submission to a structure of global government.
I am not drawing conclusions on such developments here, only saying these developments give more support for those inclined to see planned tyranny behind the present government, finance, and media establishments. And as I have found in my research over the past few months, there are many people who do perceive geopolitical events being purposely moved in this direction.
On the flip side, The Wall Street Journal has reported on draft legislation by U.S. Treasury to create the Consumer Financial Protection Agency that would have broad powers to write and enforce rules related to a range of financial products, including mortgages and credit cards. According to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, “This agency will have only one mission: to protect consumers.” But, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), “The financial-services industry is expected to oppose the measure as stifling to innovation.”
Stifling innovation? Hmm.
To paraphrase my friend Kerrin in these comments, insight is highly dependent upon one’s perspective. It is hard to know what is happening around us. Some would say that the confusion itself is purposeful, and that steps like this by Treasury are nothing more than head-fakes on the way to the hoop. Still, there is an inevitable knowledge gap to which we are all subject as humans, and I want to use prudence and careful testing before making any firm determinations. But that’s just me.
What say you?
