Still, Parties Who’ve Been Endorsed Rarely Complain
Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says Northern Kentucky Republicans can’t stop talking about the backstabbing they got when the Idiotorial Board at The Fishwrap endorsed Disingenuous DemocRAT Jack Conway for Governor last weekend, especially after our Feckless Fishwrappers endorsed TEA Party Republican Matt Bevin in the Primary Election.
Some people are even now wondering if Matt Bevin’s public support for Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis during The Fishwrap’s Crusade for Same-Sex Sodomy not long ago had anything to do with The Fishwrap’s reneging on their endorsement.
Critics of Meaningless Media Endorsements complain that media outlets should not endorse ANY candidate. They say the Media should just give equal coverage to all sides, and by giving an endorsement, it shows bias and makes it very easy to believe that previous stories have been slanted in favor of the Media’s endorsed candidates. And once a Media Outlet has made a meaningless endorsement, there’s no way it can possibly be depended on to give equal time to reporting both sides of a race.
And what makes their “informed opinions” so valuable, anyway? It’s like the “Like” button on Facebook.
They don’t even realize voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for “evil.”
Before every election, The Whistleblower-Newswire is always deluged with calls, faxes, text messages, and e-mails asking which candidates and issues we plan to endorse. As the official publication for all that scrambling, speculation, mud-slinging, and back-stabbing in the Tri-State, our readers have every right to expect nothing less.
But the fact that only two weeks before the 2015 Elections, after all of our penetrating reporting and scathing commentary, there could still be any doubt about which candidates or issues we might cheer or jeer is further tribute to the astounding even-handedness of our always fair-and-balanced journalism.
Unlike the so-called mainstream news media like our Feckless Fishwrappers, whose totally discredited political endorsements by their rubber-stamping idiotirial board and news coverage are so often interchangeable, The Whistleblower continues to present facts, opinions, viewpoints, and analyses on all sides of an issue. On rare occasions we even attempt to use humor or sarcastic satire to make a point. We trust our readers are intelligent enough to come to an informed decision.
And since we never accept advertising, and have no sponsors nor special interests to dictate their extreme prejudices, we wouldn’t insult the Persons of Consequence who are our subscribers by presuming they’re not bright enough and sufficiently critical to evaluate what we’ve presented, along with everything else they’ve seen, read, heard, and smelled so they can make up their own minds.
Unfortunately, Whistleblower Readers probably don’t include many those Dumbed-Down, Self-Absorbed, Media-Influenced, Celebrity-Obsessed, Politically-Correct, Uninformed, Short-Attention-Span, Free-Stuff Grabbing, Low-Information Obama Supporters Who Put Obama In The White House—Twice, and get all of their information from our Obama Supporters in the Press. Much like dirty words scrawled on the stalls of public bathrooms that serve as directions, those morons need meaningless media endorsements to tell them how to vote.
