An Open Letter to Internet Media and Talk Show Hosts!

Right now I am beginning to think that to so-called Internet Media and the ubiquitous talk shows hosts are basically worthless! I mean, what have you done lately that you can hang your hat of accomplishments on that benefits the American people? The Obama health care was an issue that neither media really needed to expound on. We (the people) were already cognizant of this serious threat to the nation. So, all you did was just tag along! Each one of the major Internet Media seemingly has their pet projects that they adamantly pursue. One Internet Media group pursues the legitimacy of the Obama presidency. Another is looking for the next Monica Lewinsky story. While others are settled on their pet political projects (with the aforementioned) that benefit no one but them! And talk show hosts, what have they done to benefit anyone but their own bank account?

Which one of you can lay claim, via your media outreach, to actually doing something for the American people that counts? Have you through your writing and talk lowered the oil prices? Have you started any campaign that targets those responsible for these over-inflated outrageous prices? Have you filled up your motor vehicles lately, personally? Well it seems that Rome burns while you talk and write about insignificant events. A recent interview with Donald Trump on Fox News, and with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, brought about these significant statements from Mr. Trump. These are primary issues of concern to Mr. Trump.

“TRUMP: Well, it’s all jobs. I mean it’s all jobs. I mean we really have an effective rate of 18 percent unemployment, not 9.4 percent. And it – depending on the way you count the numbers, it could be more than that. We’ll see what happens with jobs. We’ll see what happens with the fact that OPEC is ripping us, just as badly, or even worse than China. I mean worse than anything is OPEC. And nobody from this country even makes a call to say, hey, listen, you’re going to destroy our economy.
If you look at the prices now, they’re up to almost $100 a barrel. It’s going to be $120 and $130. And the last time that happened, we almost had a massive depression and nobody ever blamed the oil prices. They talked about the banks. And the banks were certainly at fault, but so was oil.
So if something doesn’t happen with oil, gasoline now is selling for way over $3 a gallon. If something doesn’t happen with that, if something doesn’t happen with jobs, I very well may do it, Wolf, because this is not a respected country anymore. We’re a whipping post for the world.”
And Liz Peeks of Fiscal Times says basically the same thing in her recent article. “Mr. Trump is not the only one concerned about our ongoing vulnerability to volatile oil prices. More ominously, the Chief Economist of the International Energy Agency (IEA) is warning that rising outlays for imported oil among OECD countries could trip up the global recovery.

Faith Birol has reported that the cost of crude imports soared by $200 billion to $790 billion during 2010… Some observers have suggested that the recent financial crisis had its roots in a jump in oil prices. James Hamilton of UC San Diego produced a report in 2009 saying that higher oil prices in 2007-2008 impacted domestic spending and auto purchases to such an extent that “in the absence of those declines, it is unlikely that we would have characterized the period 2007:Q4 to 2008:Q3 as one of economic recession for the U.S.” In other words, the Great Recession may have stemmed from a sharp jump in the average cost of imported oil, which rose from $59.05 per barrel in 2006 to $92.57 in 2008 – and not from a collapse in the value of subprime mortgages.” (Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/oil-prices-recession-2011-1#ixzz1BcoEFO6J)

Now, what are you in the written media doing about this? Is searching for Obama’s presidential eligibility more important than what’s happening to Americans financially? Is watching food prices escalate while food supplies dwindle more important than justifying yourselves concerning the tragedy in Arizona recently. Since that incident all I have heard is the self-justification of the talk shows host seeking separation and non-involvement! And let’s not forget “Sarah Palin” “Yemach Shmo.” What in Heaven’s name does she have to do with the oil and food prices being so high? Wake up…you that have a strong forum and use this outreach media for something useful! Make noise, attack these oil manipulators and get these prices down. Do something useful for the American people. Many of you are religious, and you know that you are going to have to give account for what you have done in this life as the following dictates. “2 Corinthians 5:10 For all of us must appear before the judgment seat of Messiah, so that each of us may receive what he deserves for what he has done in his body, whether good or worthless.” Now, how are you going to answer this? Now, media what have you done for the good of the America people…lately?
