Don"t Vote Blindly!

Hello,
Today, as I was thinking through some of the remarks and reporting going on in this election cycle. It occurred to me that the mainstream media (MSM) has gotten even bolder with their one sided reporting.

It has come to the point that one campaign can say and do virtually anything and it hardly raises an eyebrow. Where as the other campaign speaks and the MSM freaks.

One campaign has a flowered road to lazily swagger down. While the other must dodge mines and minds to stay upright and get their message out to the people.

One campaign is given pass on policy and personal beliefs. While the other is so scrutinized that one would think they are the worst dregs of humane society. Even when there is nothing there the MSM will gleefully make up something to take the breath away from the common folk.

This report card is disgraceful and shameful. It also is alarming to think that they, the MSM seems to get a free pass with no accountability.

The thought that came to me today is this, because of the MSM and all it's cohorts along with Hollywood and it's minions, has produced something that is very frightening. They have produced a mass of people that will go to the voting booth BLIND. They will cast their vote virtually blinded for the lack of the truth. They have been spoon fed just what the MSM wishes to serve up for their consumption.

You might say that is ridiculous, and I might say it is not. Here is the reason it is not. If you have 50% of all information on a specific candidate and proceed to the polls with that information in tow and cast your ballot. You have voted blindly. When you trust the MSM for your information you get the selected material. You have the stated 50% while the MSM says you have 100%. You go to the polls with your assumed 100% when in fact you only have 50%, and you vote. You have just voted blindly, no other way to say it.

When the MSM becomes your seeing eye dog it is the one that leads you through the political landscape. It also can bite you and you will never know who or what bit you. Don't forget you are blind because of the MSM.

If you want your vote to count then use it wisely. Seek the truth and check out the reporting for errors. If you find any media that is deliberately feeding you false information, flag it. Don't use it again until it has proven itself credible. We need to know the truth, for it is the truth that keeps us free.

With your vote comes a huge responsibility. It is to be cherished and nurtured with respect and cared for deeply. That vote you have came to you at a very high price. Many, many Americans laid down their lives so we could cast our votes in freedom and with all the knowledge we can muster in a free country. Use your vote wisely!
