National TV, both network & cable, are main sources of news to busy people & families. Yet they chase silly, stupid, sensationalized stories fed to them like a dog gets a bone to chase.

While TV's commentators chase lipstick on a pig & other ridiculous political silliness, our government was trying to put its collective fingers in the dike to keep the financial world from imploding. Most people had no warning to make decisions to move funds out of equities.

When will the press investigate & map out the interconnections among Christian Conservatives that have amassed vast lobbying & political power? This didn't just happen overnight - its been growing its tentacles into our government for over 25 years!

Blackwell got its contracts by way of Eric Prince & his parents, Edgar & Lois Prince, being deeply connected with the Council for National Policy (CNP), a group that meets 3x/yr IN SECRET!

CNP's membership includes 191 members of Congress and the major Christian Evangelical & fundamentalist Religious groups that have formed The Faith & Values Coalition (Moral Majority, Christian Coalition, Focus on the Family, Family Research Council & the New Apostolic Reformation. Other interconnected members include conservative women's groups - Eagle Forum, Leadership for Women, & Concerned Women of America.

Most of these organizations started soon after Timothy LaHaye started CNP in 1981 when Reagan was swept into office (huge landslide). They all jumped on the bandwagon using abortion as a wedge issue (a mighty Christian sword!). Edgar & Lois Prince got involved as well (he died, but Lois remains deeply involved through women's groups).

Do you really think Sarah Palin came out of nowhere? Don't be so gullible! Sarah has been trained - drinking the same kool-aid - for over 20 yrs by the same methods.

The mainstream media still has more power to shape attitudes than the underground (52.1% of those voting for McCain believe Obama is muslim).

How do you think Newt was able to tap so many to carry out his "Contract With America" in 1994? Hillary Clinton was vilified for commenting on the "vast right wing conspiracy" in the mid-90's. She obviously knew what she was talking about & the mainstream press did not. Why not???

The press always plays along to get along for a comment or a story until it is too late. Then they jump on the dead horse. The people need them to be ahead of the ball, not behind it!

Time for the press to get a clue, and WAY past time for the press to change, too!
