Media lapdogs back disgrace in Washington

What is going on in Washington is disgraceful. Elected officials looking straight into the camera lying to the American people — and not just about Obamacare, and not just the president. The power grab that changes the way Thomas Jefferson designed the Senate to operate. (You know this was done to pack the Washington circuit court so challenges to Obamacare will be handled by Obama-friendly judges.)

I feel not only lied to by Washington, but betrayed by what was once known as the Fourth Estate. The media that has not only stood by the current administration, their lies and cover ups, but hasn’t done their job of seeking, then speaking the truth.

What once was an honorable profession has turned into a lap dog of propaganda. Where is the outrage on the front pages. Lies, coverups, power grabs. No wonder the Tribune is casting off 700 jobs. You have to actually do a job to be significant!
