Here is one more example of media distortion and diverting attention. Among the literate journalist class and politicians, the comment by US Rep. Akin, (R-MO) is a major event. Especially to liberal journalists. But conservatives and Republicans also fear being accused of being anti abortion, so they condemn this man and his bad science. The idea that we have so many disappointing elected officials is due to the voters. Who gives power to non voters to tell the voters of a district who they should vote for? Journalists believe they are best qualified to choose who should be elected. Look at who we have as a result of their leadership and media management. Akin's comment is one of thousands which are offensive to rational citizens. Georgia Rep. Johnson (D-GA) speaking during a Congressional hearing suggested that having too many Marines assigned to an island would make that island tip over. Which is more disturbing? Johnson was repealing gravity not rape and pregnancy laws. Issues have a priorities like most government efforts. Some are misguided at best. Journalists play to the powerful groups just as the spineless politicians do. Once I called to a Boston Globe reporter who wrote about human experiments. I spoke with her sharing some of the research I did for a bill I wrote for the state legislature. After my presentation she asked me, "Who do you represent?" I wondered what she meant and answered "I represent myself." That was enough for her. Without an organization what I said was meaningless to her. I realized then what journalists were doing. Reality is not determined by nature or facts, but by wealthy powerful groups which influence voters and maybe newspaper buyers or advertisers? This is one more example. How does this one comment affect the lives of people in this country no less in Missouri? Laws exist about pregnancy and rape. Rape is a crime and women get pregnant no matter what this guy says. But to waste valuable media space and time on this one comment shows how misguided journalists are. And in this case it applies to liberals, conservatives, Democrats and Republicans.
