After
President Trump lambasted the media several times in recent days, even
calling it "the enemy of the American people," calls of "FOWL"
could be heard not only across the so-called journalistic spectrum, but
among Democrats and Republicans as well. Republican Senator John McCain
even had the unmitigated gall to pull an Obama stunt: go to a foreign
country and start criticizing America. He sternly warned that a free
press is the bastion of American democracy.
Historically speaking, that used
to be the case; we depended on our free press for getting at the news
and relaying it to us honestly, completely and objectively. With few
exceptions, however, they have become a political entity in and of
themselves, working in tandem with those who would see our national
values and beliefs destroyed with their own propriety and responsibility
being damned.
To the
press and the media: When you see yourselves under attack from a growing
number of Americans, when your own popularity is lower in the basement
than that of Congress, and when those who you so blindly admire have
just lost in the biggest national political upset in modern history...
isn't it time to perform a little self-introspection? Shouldn't you
have the maturity to look inside yourselves and ask whether or not you are really at blame?
