Media Socialists Misrepresenting Reasons for Spike in Gasoline Prices Libertarians, Free Market Professors Could Gleefully Point Out Blithering Idiocy of the Media Coverage By Attorney Rex Curry
Media socialists
are reporting an impending war with Iraq, and then following it with reports
that prices are going up at gasoline stations -not because of the impending
war- but because of so-called "price gouging" by greedy businessmen.
The media and the government join to rah-rah a war with Iraq, and then blame someone else when gas prices rise.
The officials who the media interview are never asked "Aren't YOU government
officials responsible for gas prices going up?!?!" It never occurs to any
media socialists that the elected clowns who are investigating price-increases
should also be asked "Aren't YOU also responsible for price increases by
adding more government hassle to the cost of supplying gas?"
The media never interview any libertarian nor even any free market economics
professors who would gleefully point out the blithering idiocy of the media
coverage. The "Iraq War" and "Gas price gouging" stories question the sanity
of media socialists.
Media socialists rehash anti-growth stories about "growing broke" and claim
that more people mean more problems. The articles never mention the great
economist Julian Simon (nor his many followers among free market economics
professors) who refute the tired Malthusian/socialist claims. The
media will never headline an article "More people mean fewer problems." That
headline is the complete opposite of the lie that media socialists keep repeating.
The media articles never note that all of the so-called "over-burdened services"
are government services, while private services gladly supply new customers
without any problems (other than those problems caused by government provision
of services).
Media socialists rehash problems in government schools and never compare
how private schools, and parents who reject government schools, quietly and
happily solve or avoid the same problems. All of the above demonstrates
why the media may be the best evidence of the need to end government schools.
