Ärende: forget Paris
====================
AH>>Isn't it sad that with all that's going on in the country and the world,
AH>>Paris Hilton has been the top story (especially on CNN?)  But don't put
AH>>all the blame on the media - they wouldn't show all Paris all the time (or
AH>>any celebrity) if that wasn't what the viewing public wanted.

 ...

 TR> actually demonstrates the liberal democrat mind-set that
 TR> pervades the entire liberal socialist agenda.

 Much better than the conservative socialist agenda.

 TR> The "media" has no idea `what the viewing public' wants.
 TR> The liberal socialist democrat press take a stupid
 TR> Hollywood tabloid tale of woe, and try to blow it into a
 TR> major situation that is the dominating story of the week.
 TR> It isn't.

 If there is one thing the media is good at it is making money.
 In the short run they may not know what the American people
 want, often they get it wrong, but, in the long run, they are
 very good at pandering to the almight dollar.

 TR> They will do anything to avoid printing `news'. They have
 TR> backed away from this immigration story like they'd back
 TR> away from a fire that just flared up and got hotter.

 I keep seeing the immigration story in print all the time. Now I
 don't watch TV news, so I don't know how they are handling it.

 ...

 TR> Neither Kennedy, or any other member of the has-been
 TR> democrat party knows one whit `what the American people
 TR> want'.

 Since Kennedy is aligned with Bush on this you just accused
 Bush. How can I dispute that?

 TR> The press hasn't conducted an honest poll in years. The

 AAMOF, they conduct a lot of honest polls.

 TR> only *real* poll that would clearly demonstrate `what the
 TR> American people want' would be putting the immigration on
 TR> the national ballot. And done in such a way that there is a
 TR> clear, non-confusing choice:

  Any choice on the ballot will be loaded.

 TR> *DO YOU WANT THE 12 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS LEGALIZED?*
 TR> YES   NO  (check one)

 Better yet:

  *DO YOU WANT AMNESTY FOR THE 12 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS?*
  YES NO

 TR> *DO YOU WANT THE 12 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS DEPORTED?*
 TR> YES   NO  (check one)


 TR> I think it would be an overwhelming vote for *not*
 TR> legalizing them, and an overwhelming vote to deport them.

 I'd bet both would be voted down.

 TR> The same with marajuana. A clear, unambiguous up or down
 TR> vote on a national ballot.


 TR> The same with firearms laws.


 TR> But they won't. They can't. And the democrat party's
 TR> minions in the press and media distract us with non-stories

 Who? Looks more like the media are distracting us from the
 disaster in Iraq. Illegal immigration is still showing up in the
 press.

 TR> like Paris Hilton getting tossed in the slammer for being
 TR> an idiot who can't behave, building it up to a big deal.
 TR> Actually, pretty much every time I see a `Paris Hilton'
 TR> sound bite starting, I either change the channel or hit the
 TR> `mute' button.

 Well, I do admit to experiencing a moment of joy when she went
 back to jail.
