I called my friend Larry today to wish him a Merry Christmas. As we often do, we talk about politics. He is in a political position and knows a bunch of elected representatives. He always has a lot of inside information that the 99.9% of the population never knows.
In our conversation, he brought up the "media." I don’t talk about the media much because there are few if any journalist in the media. I can say that because I used to be a reporter. The media today absolutely believes, "never let the truth ruin a good story."
Larry pointed out and I must say I agree, the reason the media hated President "W", was because he never took them on fancy vacations. They perceive themselves to be members of the elite. Therefore they like to be wined and dined in exotic places - a paid for vacation if you will. And, "W" went to Crawford, Texas for vacations. Do you know what there is to do in Crawford, Texas?
To make matters worse, "W" served ice tea. The boys and girls of the media expect to drink only the finest adult beverages. And, who ever heard of the elite eating barbeque. To add insult to injury, they didn’t have five star hotels with staffs scrambling to fill their every whim.
Now days, they fall over themselves to pump out what ever the current administration wants. Hey, they know on which side of their French toast is buttered. Hawaii for the "holidays" beats the heck out of Crawford, Texas.
So, let that be a lesson to anyone that may hold political office. If you want only your side of the story told, fix it where the media can be pampered.
Give me some pork ribs and a domestic beer. I don’t need them reporting about me.
