Obama - Newspapers Troubles - American Thinker - Larry Sinclair Postage Stamps - The BOPAC Report

The BOPAC Report:

You have to admire Larry Sinclair for his tenacity and ingenuity.
What a great idea! (Larry Sinclair is the man who has accused Obama of using cocaine and engaging in consensual sex with him in 1999.)

ORDER YOUR POSTAGE STAMPS AND SPREAD THE WORD

I got a call from Citizen Wells asking me if I had seen this link from the US Postal Service that lets you design your own stamps. You will love this and I strongly suggest anyone who still uses the US Postal Service to invest in a book of Stamps like the one above and use them to send out your letters and bills.

Sinclair Publishing, LLC will purchase and use these stamps in all our USPS business.


The American Thinker has an interesting article up today about the trouble newspapers are having.

Conservatives and the death of newspapers
By Richard Davis
We conservatives are being cautioned repeatedly these days not to become too elated over the demise of mainstream newspapers. "Cork the champagne, sweep up the confetti, and put away the party hats," advised MSM journalist Rick Henderson recently in National Review Online. Newspapers are public watchdogs, he wrote, and no one else is ready to assume that mission. There‘s some truth to that, and, characteristically, some bias.

As watchdogs, newspapers aren't the Dobermans they once were. Liberalism increasingly dictates what they will and won't bark at, while shrinking staffs provide an ever-diminishing check on communities and governments. There's no reason to believe others won't step up in time and perform the job equally well or better once these monopolistic dinosaurs relinquish their hold on the local marketplace.

Nationally, newspapers have much to answer for. They didn't so much as growl before the two major calamities of the past 50 years: 9/11 (and the rise of radical Islam) and the economic crash that now engulfs us. Their first response to 9/11 was to blame America, absolve Islam and rush out to find examples of American racism toward Muslims (an ongoing project).

A forewarning on the economic crisis would have required, among other things, a critical examination of the sub-prime mess. That involves minorities, and that's restricted territory. On the other hand, agenda-driven stories about the racist practice of bankers, realtors and mortgage brokers were invariably front-page news and helped lay the foundation for this disaster.

And it didn't require the Obama candidacy to tell us that newspapers are virtually the house organs of the Democratic Party (which is why an industry bailout may soon be in the offing).

Yet MSM journalists continue to see no bias, hear no bias and speak no bias. Despite the extensive damage this problem has done to the industry and the profession, journalists refuse even to address the issue, let alone talk about remedies….Continue Reading
