Campaign & Supine Media Ignores Afghanistan, Record Gas Prices

Campaign & Supine Media Ignore Afghanistan and Record Gas Prices - Focus on Akins and Mitt Taxes Instead

-->> Gas prices have never been higher than during this third week of August 2012 (see top graph).

-->> This week the 2003'd American died in Afghanistan, America's forgotten war. (see above graph)

-->> US National Debt is poised to exceed $16 Trillion in the next few days

It is obvious why Obama doesn't talk about these three vitally important issues - they don't help his campaign. In fact Obama has even had the chutzpah to ask the Euro zone leaders (i. e. Angela Merkel) to string Greece along with cash infusions until after the US election. Why? Because a Greek crisis, like high gas prices, like record death toll in Afghanistan, and like record National Debt, would not help the Obama election campaign.

OK, but why is Mitt Romney not talking about these issue? Well, the answer is that he is talking about them. But the supine, captive press is busy with Rep. Akin, busy with Prince Harry, busy with Mitt Romney's taxes. As NBC Political Director and sometime reporter Chuck Todd admitted this week, the mainstream media pres takes its cue as to what stories to emphasize from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

If Romney wins this fall, there will be a mega transformation in the workforce of media outlets the world over. Out with the libs, in with the tea party.
