The Press and Paula Deen - Soapbox 07/01/13



I think that if anything exemplifies the overt prejudice and determination of the American media to report only the news that suits their social and political interests and concept of what does and does not fit their agenda, it�s the totally overblown coverage of something Paula Deen said 20 years ago, and some party she planned that she wanted to resemble a plantation scene featuring black male waiters in period dress.



If Hollywood plans a movie featuring black waiters in a plantation scene or portray women as prostitutes or cast minorities in caricature roles does the media get upset and start calling the movie moguls racists?



Is there any grown person who could truthfully declare under oath that they have never uttered something that someone might find personally offensive?



�Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.�



Do the twenty-year-old words of a lady with a television cooking show trump the lie an Attorney General told Congress, or officials at the IRS usurping the rights of the American public and pleading the fifth amendment when confronted about it or the hiding of the facts surrounding the murder of four Americans at a Consulate in Libya or the incredibly shabby image of a president taking a one hundred million dollar vacation in this economy while closing down tours of the White House or the NSA invasion on the privacy of millions of unsuspecting citizens?



I think not, and yet these and other stories of the utmost importance were either ignored or given a back seat to the Paula Deen story which, when taken in context with the high level scandals, Putin's snubbing of an American president, the potentially explosive situations in so much of the world the story was certainly not newsworthy enough to be featured five nights in a row on network news.



Wouldn't a week-long investigation into the life of Lois Lerner, the things she's done and the reason she's pleading the fifth be more meaningful to the American people?



What about what's going on in Israel? The media has been strangely quiet on that front lately, is there nothing worth reporting in that volatile part of the world?



How about the coming catastrophic tidal wave the effect of Obamacare is going to have on America, is there nothing worth questioning in the over 30,000 pages of regulations?



How about the fact that due to federal over regulation it's nearly impossible to live in the U.S. without breaking some law?



How about the Christian pastor who is being held in one of the worst hell hole prisons in the world in Iran for nothing more than sharing his faith?



How about a whole way of life that's being destroyed in West Virginia by the president's war on coal?



I think you get the picture.



No wonder the mainstream media has fallen so far in the trust of the American people.



Why is the Paula Deen story worth so much airtime if not to take attention off the truly important issue, the life changing things that really affect the lives of Americans?



The news is not about news anymore. It's about protecting some people, destroying others and shoving a socialist agenda down the collective throats of America.



What do you think?



Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.



God Bless America,



Charlie Daniels

Good job Charlie.

Spot on.

I have always loved his song "Still In Saigon"

Charlie is always on the mark and a true American Patriot.

Heroism and patriotism in words are rare and praiseworthy but deeds qualify you for those ultimate accolades.

I'm afraid the words of another country singer/songwriter may serve as an explanation:

"If you waste your time a-talkin' to the people who won't listen

to the words that you are saying, who do you thinks gonna hear

And if you should die explaining how the things that they complain about

Are things they should be changing, who do you thinks gonna care?"

Kristofferson in early seventies.

Who do you think is gonna care. We do, but our opinion does not count.

A lot of the time he is. However, while he opposes "gun control" I saw him express on national T.V how he has no problem with "gun registration."
I've never been able to separate the two.
