The White House continues to attack Fox News. How come they don’t go after MSNBC which features overtly biased guys like Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews? They are twice as pro-Democrat as Fox is pro-Republican. The answer: MSNBC is pro-Obama!

My editorial in Issue No. 119 is worth another read. The so-called “news media” has been biased “to the political left” for decades, and Fox News is merely “the political right” getting into the act. The public’s backlash against biased reporting, coupled with the availability of internet reporting, has helped lead to the destruction of the print media in this country, and someday soon it will lead the destruction of biased TV reporting, starting with CNN.

I understand Fox News is pro-conservative, but I also understand that CNN is pro-liberal. The difference is that CNN and the White House try to assert that CNN is unbiased. This is untrue and everyone knows it. There can’t help but be a backlash against the White House and Obama for this type of attack.

The White House is making a big mistake by attacking Fox News . Fox News represents the views of people like me far more often than does CNN. Left-wingers are so used to having the mass media spout their views that they are shocked and alarmed when a large media outlet like Fox News champions the conservative cause on a regular basis. Good for Fox News. They are the best thing to happen to America in decades. They are even better than BHM with our championing of Libertarian views. The White House really hates Glenn Beck, who is positively Libertarian.

America is in a major backlash against Obama’s socialist agenda. He’s taken creeping socialism and turned it into aggressive socialism. That was a mistake for socialist strategy. Too many people have finally taken notice of what is happening in America. Now he attacks Fox News, which is the only powerful TV media standing up against the socialist onslaught. Count me on your side Fox! We Libertarians understand that Fox is an important beacon of hope in a media dominated for too long by ultra left-wing ideology. If Fox News is biased toward the right, so what! CNN has been totally biased toward the left for decades. Now things are more balanced.

Here’s a good article about Libertarians, Free Staters and the Tenth Amendment Movement. We’ve got an article on the Tenth Amendment Movement in the upcoming issue. It has become Part XI of our Coming American Dictatorship series.

There is nothing like a personal example to drive a point home. My grandson, Gavin, has a cold so Annie, my daughter and the ME of BHM, made a doctor’s appointment for him today. Gavin is covered by Tricare, the Medicare-like insurance our Government gives military families. The local doctor has agreed to accept Tricare.

But this morning we got a call from the doctor’s office informing us that Tricare still had not transferred the necessary paperwork so Annie could be seen by a local doctor. Annie has been in Oregon with us since September while her husband is serving in Iraq defending the country. She has been trying to get Tricare bureaucrats to transfer the necessary paperwork for that long. This is how this Medicare-like insurance works — or in this case, does not work. It is a good example of how socialized health care will work once Obama gets it passed into law.

Even when Annie is on station at a military base, she says it would typically take at least four weeks to get an appointment with a military doctor. This is not surprising to any of us vets who have had to deal with military medicine either while we were on active duty or after we were released to civilian life. Shortly after I was discharged from the U.S. Army in 1969, a VA hospital nearly killed me when they botched a simple appendix operation.

This is the face of Universal Health Care, Socialized Medicine, or whatever the Obama Government chooses to call the National Health Care he hopes to put in place for all of us. For all you people who are hoping Obama will deliver on his promise of Universal Health Care, this is how it will work.

I think I’ll just transfer Annie to BHM’s private policy so her baby can see a doctor.
