Now That You Mention It — 090910 (Reprised)

Additional thoughts on the previous posting made….

....the other day....

Something else regarding the veracity of so-called ‘journalists’ has come to light. I’ll address that in a follow-up item in the near future. And its significance in matters of ‘journalistic qualities’ as we are experiencing them today.—Chuck Pelto

....there are SERIOUS problems in the so-called ‘major media’. And that, based on my observations of what passes for ‘journalism’ in the Pueblo Chieftain, trickles down to the local level.

I’ve not seen ANYTHING in the Pueblo Chieftain about the significance of ACORN being outed as an organization that apparently helps pimps and prostitutes set up brothels involving 13-year old girls. Let alone how ACORN was involved with the federal government in the conduct of the Census.

I had a census taker show up on my door step last week. My comportment with this individual was cold. I refused to let him into the house. I only answered the most basic questions: address, name and the fact that this house was the dwelling of single family. When he asked for the phone number, I told him to look in the phone book. He had the necessary information for that.

Why is this? I’d picked up on the nefarious nature of ACORN some time back and I absolutely REFUSE to support such an organization.

What I found particularly ‘interesting’ of the encounter is that first off this character denied that ACORN had anything to do with the federal census. However, later on in the discussion, he admitted to ACORN being involved. In other words, the Census Takers are, based on this particular encounter, outright liars. They’re just too ‘stupid’ to be good at it.

But back on track and how is it that the Chieftain has ignored this important revelation on how the federal government is ‘working’: pouring millions of tax-payers dollars into an organization with nefarious activities. Let alone giving it any part of the politically significant ‘census’.

Why IS that?

But that’s not the only item…..

We also have the fact that the Pueblo Chieftain has totally ignored the 9/12 protest gathering of ‘conservatives’ in Washington DC last weekend. Currently estimates run between the official 60-70,000 and calculated 1.5 million.

But not a single mention of the event in the Chieftain.

This correlates ‘well’ with the perception that the staff at the Chieftain would like to just ignore the whole matter.

And THIS, in my personal opinion, is a violation of their alleged ‘ethics’ regarding ‘professionalism’.

I’m open to suggestions as to WHY that is…..
