CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 23, 2018
AMERICA’S MAJOR MEDIA LONG AGO ABANDONED ANY NOTION OF FAIRNESS, MUCH LESS BALANCE. THEY HAVE BEEN ALL-IN FOR DEMOCRATS FOR SOME TIME.
THE LATEST IS HOW THEY ARE TREATING CERTAIN FEMALES IN CONGRESS AND THOSE ANNOUNCING FOR PRESIDENT, MOST OF WHOM ARE NOW WOMEN, BUT WITH AT LEAST SOME MEN TO FOLLOW. THE REPORTING, I F ONE CAN CALL IT THAT, ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER THEIR IDEAS ARE GOOD, OR WILL WORK. IT’S ABOUT GENDER.
I HAVE LONG SAID THAT TOO MANY IN THE MEDIA FOCUS ON EXTERNALS AND NOT INTERNALS. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FEMALE LIBERAL, A MINORITY LIBERAL OR ANY OTHER KIND OF LIBERAL? NONE. WHY CAN’T WE HAVE A DEBATE ABOUT HIGHER TAXES, MORE GOVERNMENT SPENDING, SO-CALLED FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, WHAT IT WOULD COST, WETHER IT WOULD WORK AND WHAT IT WOULD DO TO INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE AND INCENTIVE? WHY IS THIS ALWAYS ABOUT GENDER AND RACE? IT’S NOT REALLY, OTHERWISE THE MEDIA WOULD INCLUDE CONSERVATIVE WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN THE MIX, BUT THEY TREAT THEM AS ALIENS AND UNWORTHY OF ATTENTION. WATCH FOR MORE OF THIS IRRELEVANCE IN THE RUN-UP TO THE 2020 ELECTION. I’M CAL THOMAS.
