'Still Flyin' Over the Heartland'

It seems that objective journalistic endeavour is pretty much dead in the 21st century. More often than not, many of those rabid supporters of all things left [i.e. 'Activist Media'] are showing their true colors; that all is for "the Cause" and anything else is nothing more than fluff or distraction from the actual message they are trying to present. The presentation doesn't have the 5 W's and 1 H anymore at the core of the news story. Editorializing is taking place with either trite, sly references or in an outright fashion. This is how one can tell the stance of someone reporting on either the Occupy Movement, the influx of illegal aliens and those sympathetic to them or the current crop of Republican candidates and the debates undertaken. Those who are so dedicated and feel a certain way about a subject will find a way to present it, either on the sly or blatantly. Not only will they give their view on the subject being reported, but also go to the extent of manipulating the facts and bending them out of shape, not unlike taffy being pulled at a county fair. Occasionally those 'adjusted presentations' are nothing more than outright misrepresentations, cloaked as being 'fact.'

Also more out of the Occupy Movement that's been learned recently.  Seems the anarchist faction of Occupy Portland had some plans up their sleeves. Whether those plans had to do with a Weathermen style armed conflict or using the "Movement" as a cover to commit other types of crimes. ACORN has it's mitts in the pie yet again, only not slick enough this time with a fraud running for the Oval Office to help give them a pass.

So ladies & menfolk... sit down, strap in & HOLD ON!
