Liberal Media and Political Realities - Book Review

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

We've often heard conservatives and Republicans claim that the media is completely "Liberally Biased" and the reality is that although the numbers do not lie, there are conservative venues that also dominate, such as conservative radio and the Fox News Channel. All this political banter causes a great deal of unrest and a lot of sound and fury. Admit it, we all enjoy a little bit of chaos and controversy. But has it gone too far and have the Hollywood Celebrities jeopardized their stardom on a political agenda?

Rather than sit and debate what is right, who is left, and why, let me instead introduce you to a politically charged book, which speaks from the right, and from that point of view. Much of what is written is hard to debate, although one who is left leaning might find fault with it, and the author's references and cites. The book is:

"Hollywood Nation; Left Coast Lies, Old Media Spin and New Media Revolution" by James Hirsen (newsmax dot com). He also wrote; "Tales from the Left Coast" and both books are published by Random House, New York, NY; 2005 (this book).

This book goes through what the author calls "self-proclaimed and appointed Hollywood Experts on all political affairs." People like Barbara Streisand, Sean Penn, Michael Moore and countless others, as the writer addresses issues of misrepresentation, mixing up of facts, and actual intent to deceive in order to convince the audience of a political viewpoint.

Mr. Hirsen holds nothing back as he speaks of the New York or East Coast newsrooms and the Left Coast Studios. You will learn of their tactics, distortions, and how the celebrities use sex to promote their political agendas. There is also a very interesting chapter on Mel Gibson's movie; "The Passion of Christ" and the hypocrisy of Michael Moore's films. You will find this an interesting book; if you lean left you will be appalled, and if you lean right, it will preach to the choir. But, I guarantee you'll find it interesting.

Media Wars Continue Along Political Party Lines

What you can and cannot say is constantly changing, and I am not referring to the laws, although they too are changing due to the introduction of "hate speech" rules. When we talk about what you can and cannot say, we generally mean political correctness, and with a constantly changing society it is amazing how far things can swing. Currently, you do not dare criticize President Obama, but just a year ago it was in Vogue to call President Bush just about anything under the son, with bloggers carrying on for 1,000 word posts.

Well, now things are drastically lopsided or so, conservative talk show hosts say, as they find their dialogue, sponsorship, advertisers, and FCC looking over their shoulder constantly. Perhaps, rather than explain all this to you, it might be better to recommend a very good book that gives credible evidence to this reality, the book is:

"Censorship: The Threat to Silence Conservative Talk Radio; The Fairness Doctrine Exposed" by Brian Jennings; 2009.

The book discusses how Senator Jeff Bingaman wanted all talk radio to be balanced, of course, what he was really saying is that it is not right to allow a conservative talk show host to spout off without an equally powerful advocate of the liberal agenda to counter each and every topic. President Obama said he wants more diverse viewpoints on the radio, and now that he is President, he says that would only be fair.

The directive, FCC regulation, or Congressional Bill might end having the FCC sets up permanent advisory boards to insure that fairness is complied with, or so is one of the plans being floated. The author contends this is a Trojan Horse because, once they start scrutinizing it will ultimately have a chilling effect on free speech.

Further, it is asserted that Liberal Radio has failed in the past and cannot seem to compete with the audiences of conservative radio. And since there are few liberal radio personalities the politics are trying to level the playing field with regulation, something many who think about cringe. I think you might very much like this book.

Political Book Review - The US Transfer of Top Secret Military Technology by Bill Clinton

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Every once in a while you find out that what you think you know about politics and current events of the time, turn out to be a complete 180 of the reality. Then sometimes you suspect foul play but cannot put your finger on it. Well, what if I recommend a very good book to you that will get you much closer to the truth than you probably wanted to get? Please read:

"Betrayal - How the Clinton Administration Undermined American Security" by Bill Gertz (also a reporter for the Washington Post specializing in defense and national security issues); Regency Publishing, Inc, an Eagle Publishing Company, Washington, DC. 1999. ISBN 0-89526-317-3

In case you've wondered exactly what all the fuss was over the Chinese and Clinton Administration and the transfer of top secret technology, but never thought to ask. Well, this is the book for you. And it is well documented, footnoted and enough to scare the hell out of you, and wonder why treason hearings were not conducted. Apparently, there is so much executive power in America that you can cover up just about anything as Gertz demonstrates in the first two chapters.

But is it really all politics and will we ever know you'll ask yourself? Well, keep reading, as it gets better, or worse, as he goes into the implications of nuclear technology, stress on the Korean Pennisula, missile and satellite technology. And how the Russians play a part and how the US is played off against the game.

Indeed from a political perspective one could say, as Bill Gertz does, what will become of the Clinton Legacy, and how will history portray the betrayl? I recommend this book to anyone that studies history, the flow of nuclear arms knowledge or the rapid advancement of the Chinese Military war machine. Please consider this.

Setting the Political Record Straight - A Book That Takes You From Left to Right

Every once in a while a good book comes along that sets the political record straight and helps us understand what is nothing more than media driven political rhetoric, or political opposition attacks. The book I'd like to recommend has a red cover with a little smiley face, which has a Hitler mustache. If that isn't enough to shock you into thinking, I'm not sure what would. The book is called:

"Liberal Fascism; the Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning" by Jonas Goldberg; Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group division of Random House; New York, NY; 2008. ISBN: 978-0-385-51184-1.

The first chapter completely sets the record straight on Mussolini, and the second chapter gives a historical account of Adolph Hitler. In the Third Chapter Goldberg discusses the concept of "it couldn't happen here," and explains how it was. He goes into a full account of Woodrow Wilson's rise to power and political exploits once in power.

Chapter 4 explains how Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" was a Fascist New Deal in reality. In chapter 5 you'll get a totally different historical account of the 1960's movement, while in chapter 6, you'll find yourself quite alarmed at the Kennedy myths. He also shows how the "liberal agenda" works to turn the nation into a god and nationalism into a religion, which makes for a particularly interesting conversation and dialogue in the book

Another interesting set of contentions is put forth in the chapter on eugenics, and how the "liberals" in the US support such concepts, as did Hitler; the author also weaves in, the abortion issues to these talks. Still, I found the chapter entitled; "Liberal Fascist Economics" the most interesting perhaps due to the current economic challenges we face. The direction of our government in the economic system of the US is completely troubling and so similar to past fascist, communist, and socialist governments of the past, all of which have failed by the way.

Everyone should read the author's sub chapter on the "Fascist Bargain" when it comes to business and government uniting and promoting each other. And the very important sub-chapter; "The Liberal Fascist Bargain," all this is absolutely true and scary to the core.

You might like to read the chapters on the Clintons; "Brave New Village," as well as the new age chapter entitled; "The New Age: We Are All Fascists Now!" there is a sub-chapter called "Hollywood Fascists" that is very interesting, perhaps should be read by anyone awestruck by Hollywood Movie Stars telling them how to vote. The author concludes with the reality that many conservatives fail to realize how far they've been coaxed towards fascism and what they can do to resist it in the future. I think you will enjoy this book, or hate it, depending on your political persuasion.

Best Political Books

I feel it's time for me to speak up and be counted.  At sixty-three years on our planet now, I figure better late than never.  It's still a free country, I do believe, and that's what I am very concerned about -  the future of our nation.

I've created , over  time,  my best political books library.   I use "political" in very broad sense.  For example, economics, social issues, current events, history, as well as politics, etc.,  all these would be included under my term "political."

Recently, I read  Glenn Beck's  Common Sense, The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government.  Glenn states that his book was inspired by Thomas Paine, who wrote the original Common Sense in 1776, which, for sure,  I have in my best political books library.    Included in Glenn's book at the end, is a copy of Thomas Paine's Common Sense, a good deal - getting two books in one.

Glenn reports on how the present government is out of control and what we must do to take our country back.  He reports on what both parties have done to undermine our freedoms and concludes with:

          "The time has come for a second American Revolution -----bring your passion, but leave your muskets at home.  This revolution will take place in our minds and hearts...This revolution will be won when Americans rebel against the lies that are being told by those in power..."

I believe Glenn Beck is a true Patriot, and is bringing a very important message to us at this time.  It's  "we the people"  that have the power, and must realize this and must take our country back from the politicians that do not have our best interest at heart or our children and grandchildren's best interest at heart.

I have read  Glenn's book and try to watch him on a daily basis, his program is on the Fox News Channel every afternoon.  I highly recommend everyone tune into his program and get a copy of his book Common Sense, it's a must read.

Another book that I have recently read  is Catastrophe, by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann.

"How Obama, Congress, and the special interests are transforming...a slump into a crash, freedom into socialism, and disaster into a Catastrophe...and how to fight back."

Another book in my best political books library that needs to be read by every American.  I have placed Catastrophe as well as Fleeced, another book by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann, in my library.

Mass Media and Mental Games Shaping Our Political and Perceived Realities

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

What do you know? If what you know is what you read in the newspapers and see on TV, then perhaps you do not know much at all. Indeed, there are propaganda spin-meisters at every turn shaping your created realities. In fact, let me recommend a very good book to you about how political games are played at the highest levels of American Politics;

"Spin Cycle; Inside the Clinton Propaganda Machine" by Howard Kurtz (also author of: 'Hot Air and Media Circus'); The Free Press [division of Simon and Schuster Inc.], New York, NY; 1998.

This is an incredibly interesting book on how the media and politicians change our reality and how nothing is exactly as it seems. Indeed, the heart of the message after reading this book is back to that old quote; "you can't fool all the people, all of the time." Perhaps, that is what I took away from the book and maybe you will see something else, as the book is packed with the little details and reality behind the scenes.

The puppets are introduced along with all the players; it's a tribute to the reality of US Politics at the highest levels. The author notes that President Bill Clinton was the most investigated president in history next to Richard Nixon. There was Whitewater, campaign fundraising abuses, Chinese donations, Monica Lewinsky, and the author of Spin Cycle calls the Teflon man resilient and untouchable thanks to his well-oiled propaganda machine.

The book tells of secret meetings with columnists to reap the benefits of favorable publicity is all that saved the Clintons, and he admits it was masterful indeed. One of the chapters discusses Al Gore and his loss and feelings of betrayal that cost him the White House. Today we see a similar story brewing with Senator Barrack Obama's PR machine with 8:1 positive to negative articles in the media, it's no wonder his popularity, but how long can it hold out?

In my opinion, it really does not matter if you like the Clintons or not, what matters is you understand the created realities of the mass media. All informed voters ought to realize what is really going on in Washington DC and on the road to get to the White House.
