Hurrah's for the Bloggers

This past election has brought out one highlight that I wish to praise. We can only salute the work of the Bloggers to helping bring to light facts and issues that others of the media world would have preferred left in the shadows of locked closets.

So many of the left have lamented the supposed domination of the press by the right when in reality it has been the other way around. These Left leaning fingers always point at FOX news and the AM radio talk shows. I am always laughing a bit at the power of the talk shows. Why? I always picture the days when radio continued to shift towards FM and most of what was left on the AM dial would be Hog and Grain reports and I see the left chortling at the idea that the right was left on these AM stations while they had the TV networks, newspapers and FM to play their humanist dogmas across the air and land. It was only fitting that their socialist blinders could not seem to grasp the free enterprise system and the power of consumer desire for something beyond their message. Now we are left with the tears and lamentations of failed attempts to compete and political efforts to force an arbitrary equality of messages put forth on the air.

(Sorry I had left this in draft and had forgotten having started it.)

Apologies

I just wanted to take a moment to apologize for my extended tardiness at posting. I have avoided posting immediately after the elections just from the burnout of the election and the accompanying emotions. I am glad for the outcome. Of course this led into the holidays and my relocation to a new city, a Texas City of course. ;) I have taken the time to continue my reading and watching of the news and will be up and running again here very quickly since there are great issues to cover.
