Politics Obliterates Objective Journalism Once More
Here's an open letter I've written to the folks at ABC and Disney:
I am troubled by ABC News reporters participating in daily phone briefings of the White House Chief of Staff.
Much of the value of news reporters and news organizations is in their credibility. Without that, even the most well connected and gifted reporter is suspect. I believe you do ABC News and the American people a great disservice by not clearly dealing with the obviously compromised objectivity of George Stephanopoulos. While I am not surprised by his bias given his history, I am greatly disappointed in the manner the issue has been dealt with and the apparent lack of concern of ABC News management.
Assertions of this type of behavior were leveled at other news outlets during the Bush years, but were of course unfounded. Ironic that this is occuring at ABC now. This is yet more evidence that the proud history of traditional American media is being trampled, along with it's business viability - by itself!
Alas all things must pass. I suppose that includes ABC News. Very sad...

Hey Dave,
Just discovered your blog. Seems to me you're speaking a lot of truths that a lot of people haven't discovered yet, either via your blog or through other sources. It's a shame but I don't see much activity here, when you have a lot of good stuff here.
Just one question may want to ask your readers: "With all of the TARP money handed out, have a these big companies recovered yet?" Maybe someone will have an answer.
Keep up the good work.
Please visit me with some of your wise words, at www.urfinancialfriend.om

George,
Thanks for the kind words. I just revamped both blogs so the old stuff is history. I'm sure you'll help me spread the word. We're adding another blog and revamping davemason.com, too so stay tuned. I think it's going to get even better.

Occupy Wall and all the other Occupy groups need as much help as they can get. The politicians and corporate CEO's are so out of touch with the common man, they have not idea what it's like to live on average salaries. Americans are finally waking up! Support for this cause is needed.
