Political War casualties mount.

WILL MEDIA, SPORTS AND GOVERNMENT EVER BE THE SAME?

POLITICAL BIAS PERMEATES EVERYTHING

While Donald Trump has been blamed for much of the division in the country, the reality is that the organized opposition to Trump is the real source of the division.

The first casualty was the establishment media, when this election is over, many of them will  succumb to their damage. Newspapers will be the first to go, their is little hope that they will be in existence 10 years from now. Their bias has increased dramatically in the last decade. While they always leaned in one way or another, but when the newspapers consolidated under the control of just a few major corporations they lost any objectivity that they may have had.

The cable and major news networks have been severely damaged, many have become nothing more than propaganda outlets for the Democrat socialist party. They are obsessed with damaging Trump and his supporters in any way possible. There is very little objectivity left. Much of this can also be attributed to the news outlets being consumed by entertainment companies, who now control what is reported and what is intentionally overlooked. If we look at the casualties on the staffs and on the programming of these companies it is amazing at the slaughter that has occurred, from Bill O'Reilly on Fox to now Ellen Degeneres. No one is safe. The list of people forced out under the guise of political correctness is pilling up with no end in sight.

Social media companies have taken sides and blocked opinion and free speech of those they do not endorse or support. It is time for a large media company with their own satellite system that offers news, internet, entertainment and social media with a strict policy of free speech and objectivity. There is thirst for such an enterprise. It would be very successful.

The politicization of the Department of Justice, the State department and the Intelligence communities and other federal offices under the Obama administration is a sorry indictment on our government. There is a long list of employees retired or fired due to their partisanship, likely it is just the tip of the iceberg. Can anyone now have faith in the FBI or intelligence community?

Even funerals have become an opportunity for a political statement.

Sports is likely to be the latest casualty. The professional sports leagues will regret the day they folded to political pressure to become involved in political issues. Sports was always a haven from the cares, stress and monotony of every day living. It united people in support of their home team. It was fun. Is it all over now? They should have united in their staying away from all politics.

Presidents and others often attended games or threw out the first pitch, it was not a political policy statement, but just a point of unity for the nation. Much of this also has to do with the media tycoons who control the coverage of these events. Without coverage their revenue dies. It will also die as a growing number of people will refuse to watch.

Corporations have also succumbed to political pressure for some political cause. I am sure it is being taken noticed by many. They, as sponsors, have pressured teams and others to take political positions. There was a day when corporations and business stayed clear of political issues, it was a good policy.

We have been in an all out political war for the future of the country. Many hate everything about America. They are determined to discard everything that made this country a place of opportunity for everyone who did what was required to be successful. It has been a tactic of divide and conquer. In any war there are casualties, there will likely be many more.
