there's an amazing article on hoping tim post about the horrific job in media is
doing covering the sequester
the impact on the federal aviation administration
was mentioned nearly two-and-a-half times more than the impact on head start
it was mentioned
six and a half times more
introductions to the meals-on-wheels program
and it was more than twice the rate
cancer clinics that got shut down
and let me stop there
think about that
the media would rather talk about the federal aviation ministration and a
slight delays at airports with by the way is a new story and i think it's not
right
but they spend much more time on that
than on the fact that the sequester
funds cancer clinics and because of the lack of funding now because of the cuts
there are literally cancer clinics that are getting shot down
isn't that all little bit more important
shouldn't every prioritized a little bit higher
well and i did some more research
here or other things that or not getting discussed
one hundred sixty million dollars cut from substance abuse banned mental
health services administration
now i'll i'll just what happened republicans remember they were talking
about during the gun control the rate
winning doubt that's where the problem is
well it
shocks where's your outrage were cutting it in the sequestered
why aren't you out there talking about there's nothing you cared about mental
health well i guess not
uh... seventy five million dollars come from the aging and disability services
program
sudah granny and grandpa guinea news coverage nope for granny and grampa
five ninety million dollars come from
housing for the elderly
the media is not talking about that
nine hundred twenty million dollars come from steamers disaster relief money
because monkeys favour
and smell like we ever had very tense called contrary sandy or anything like
that
ten million dollars come from the world trade center health program fund
that's the first responder heroes that we all care so deeply about
well apparently
the media
where the fuck are they on this man
that's the first responders money for their health care
it's getting caught enemy is not talking about that that sounds like them pretty
important story
fifty three million dollars
cut from
food safety and inspection
fifty seven million dollars come from the healthcare fraud and abuse control
what happen fox news they love covering fraud cases because they try to use that
as a bad argument to say well look we obviously have to completely get rid of
medicare because there's a little bit of fraud in there
where are you on this they're cutting from friday to action
six hundred and thirty three million dollars come from special education
programs
five hundred twelve million dollars
come from
customs and border protection
uh... republicans message or we'll housing you're not talking about it
seventy nine million dollars come from embassy security construction
and maintenance
this is
one of the republicans were screaming about
which has been gaza
uh... dutch heart davinci
well there's a question of the seventy nine million dollar cut for embassy
security
and what was a response
come on man this is a whole range is
c_n_n_'s not doing their job and as a_b_c_'s not doing their job but it
wasn't doing their job
even if they just one of politicizing talk about all the things they care
about there's so many things in the sequestered they're getting cut as we
speak
devastate the american public
and the only one they're wasting their time on is
twenty seven minute delays at the airport
now look
here's the most interesting question about this
why
why are they missing out why are they not doing their job right
and i thought about it all morning
and i'd
don't have of concrete solid answer it's not set in stone all i can make is an
educated guess
and the best thing i could come up with is that it has to do with access
so if is c_n_n_ wants to have you know the first
news from the republican senator democratic senator
who's gonna run for president in the next election and they want to get the
exclusive in they want to be the first ones out there so they can
you know wave the banner of where the best and i was right
are they going to go to any nor is it news organization that's been hammering
and
you are essentially calling then
people who don't care about dying elderly people
you don't care about cancer patients
are they likely to go to that organization are they more likely go to
the organization
that hasn't been attacking them
well obviously they're more likely to go to who softer on them
did job of the media and this is the key part here meant if they were altaf on
the politicians
they wouldn't have a choice and they have to go talk to everybody
and the job of the media
is to make sure that our politicians are doing their god and shop
but uh... not talk about all of these incredibly important things
i think that is in
epic failure
