Clive Bibby: MSM response to New Government formation in not unexpected

Why are we not surprised!

I doubt there is a person in this country interested in the make up of the new Coalition government, who would be expecting anything other than the response we have received from the MSM during the hiatus period since the election.

Most impartial observers of western politics, especially during the last 6 years, will have noticed the MSM‘s abuse of their position of trust in modern democratic societies throughout the world.

They are supposed to be the kaitiaki (guardians) of the cornerstone safeguards that have been put there to ensure we at least maintain a resemblance of fairness and respectability - allowing individuals to have equal access to opportunities that will enable them to reach their potential. This traditionally accepted construct is deliberately based on a desire for freedom of expression, an acknowledgement of minority rights and an acceptance of personal responsibility.

Yet unfortunately, over recent years the MSM, with only a few exceptions, has thrown its commitment to that type of civilised endeavour out the window and instead taken on a position of naked hostility to anything that does not conform to their preferred ideological interpretation of fairness and decency. It is as if a line in the sand has been drawn and you dare not cross it for fear of excommunication.

Anybody who commits what has become the cardinal sin of supporting “right of centre” thought is damned as being a threat to the wellbeing of others.

Those who reject this mainly “left wing” philosophy as being of little use or even outdated in an environment where problem-solving is best achieved through cooperation with peoples of all faiths and ideological persuasion, are demonised for their opinions and attempts to speak out against what they see as selectively imposed morality.

In fact it is hard to find a news outlet throughout the western world that has not thrown in their lot with this ideological cringe that permeates every column and spoken word by journalists who have become servants to this false doctrine. Their message does  not and never has represented who we are.

They have become the willing foot-soldiers of those who want to destroy democracy as we know it.

Perhaps the only remarkable thing emerging from this assault on our birthright is the re-appearance in overwhelming numbers of those who support the re-establishment of the values and convictions that our forebears fought and died for - a return to a just society where decisions are made by governments in the best interests of us all.

Let’s hope the new government in this country and in some of the ones about to be formed across the globe, will recognise their responsibility to restore our society to what it has always been - a place fit for returning heroes.

But we should not be surprised at the response from the MSM to this movement to take our country back. Their reporting of the negotiations to form a government over the last few weeks has all the hallmarks of people who don’t want to accept what they are seeing. But thankfully, the wailing and gnashing of teeth will not be enough to stop it happening.

Although my guess is that it may be some time before there is a reduction in the bile and hatred being expressed daily by those masquerading as reporters of the truth exposed and rejected for what they are.

I say “good riddance!” It can’t happen quickly enough.
