Former Carter aide calls activist press a 'fundamental threat to democracy'

[longknife]

Pat Caddell, who was an aide to President Jimmy Carter and who has worked in several other Democratic administrations, says he is "nauseated" by by active participation of the mainstream media in covering up any news, such as the news about Benghazi, that might be harmful to President Obama's reelection chances. In a speech earlier this week, he concluded:

"But all I want to conclude to this is that we face a fundamental danger here. The fundamental danger is this: I talked about the defense of the First Amendment. The press’s job is to stand in the ramparts and protect the liberty and freedom of all of us from a government and from organized governmental power. When they desert those ramparts and decide that they will now become active participants, that their job is not simply to tell you who you may vote for, and who you may not, but, worse—and this is the danger of the last two weeks—what truth that you may know, as an American, and what truth you are not allowed to know, they have, then, made themselves a fundamental threat to the democracy, and, in my opinion, made themselves the enemy of the American people. And it is a threat to the very future of this country if that—we allow this stuff to go on. We have crossed a whole new and frightening slide on the slippery slope this last two weeks, and it needs to be talked about."

I can only agree with this. I've written several times in 2007 and later that NBC News and the New York Times actively sided with al-Qaeda in Iraq against the United States, and as far as I'm concerned, they're guilty of treason. Whether Obama or Romney wins on November 6, the mainstream media will continue to be a danger to our country. The Gen-Xers at these institutions are behaving just like Germany's Lost Generation in the 1930s that created the Holocaust. That's how generational hatred works during generational Crisis eras. To say that they're a danger to America is not an overstatement.
