Making News

As often mentioned I have no use for the media in this country.  They think freedom of the press is freedom to make a story sound the way they want it to.  And, as sometimes uncovered, they will make up a story if it helps a personal image or objective.

The coverage of Colin Kaipernick not standing for the National Anthem has been covered, for the most part, as another cheap shot at American values and traditions.  Does the multi millionaire have a right to stay seated?  Yes, and he has the right to be crude, rude and disrespectful.  But, it is not sitting well with the fans that pay the money so he can be rich and do stupid things.

The media didn’t seem to mention that the second string quarterback is a multimillionaire.  Nor, did they mention he was adopted by white parents.  Sure sounds like he has been oppressed.

How often does the media cover how much is done for people of all colors and races that need help and are willing to work hard?

Guess it’s hard to make up a story about that.
