TO DIE FOR

Every now and then I watch in sheer horror as the liberal media machine commits an act of such egregious injustice to the truth and to the citzenry that I want to puke my guts out and dive off into the abyss. It’s no secret that network media producers commonly provide Joe and Jane citizen with precisely the news that they want them to see, packaged and slanted in custom design to provoke a pre-determined opinion and conclusion. And many times, as in the case with the Solyndra debacle, they simply don’t report a major story at all if its not possible to do so in a manner that casts a complimentary light on their beloved liberal constituents, the Democratic Party and Obama. They will only acquiesce and reluctantly report these unflattering stories after they have successfully broken free from the confines of network media exclusion and achieve significant exposure to the mainstream public through other means.

But possibly the most heinous, inexcusable and sickening thing to watch from these Marxist masqueraders is when they take a highly charged emotional issue like the death penalty and the recent execution of convicted cop killer Troy Davis and warp the story into a whooped up, fictional circus, replete with lies, misinformation and a complete and total disregard for jurisprudence, professional integrity or common human decency.

If you knew nothing more then what you watched on any network news program, you would conclude this; in 1989 Troy Davis, a black man, was quite possibly wrongfully convicted of killing a police officer. You would be led to believe that testimony from witnesses was coerced from the police and several actually later recanted their statements. You would think there was no physical evidence and now, 22 years later, an innocent man is being put to death simply because he was black and in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you believed this and also believe that NBC Anchorman Brian Williams is the epitome of fair and objective reporting, stop here and hit the delete button right now because the following paragraphs will be hard for you to read. You will be confronted with some actual facts from the case shortly and we know all too well how facts can wreak havoc with your personal philosophies and feel good beliefs.

Recent polls show that 59% of Americans believe that an innocent man has been executed in the last five years. I wonder how they come to that conclusion. There is more credible evidence that the earth is flat then that an innocent person has been executed in this country in the past 50 years, much less the past five. Citizens don’t read trial transcripts and have no way of knowing the truth. They certainly won’t get it from the major news reporting agencies; they are too busy whipping up racial division to be bothered with the facts.

It is nearly impossible for someone to receive the death penalty these days, unless you do something crazy like shoot a cop in full view of dozens of witnesses in a Burger King parking lot, shortly after shooting another person in the face in a passing car after a party. That’s what Troy Davis did in August 1989.

Davis’s trial lasted two weeks with 34 witnesses for the state and six for the defense. The jury of seven blacks and five whites took less than two hours to convict Davis of Officer Mark MacPhail’s murder as well as various other crimes. He was sentenced to death two days later.

Now 22 years later, the New York Times and Time magazine both have proclaimed that there was no, “physical evidence” connecting Davis to the crime.

Davis pulled out a gun and shot two strangers in public that night. What might one suspect would be available in the way of physical evidence in a case like that? I guess it would have been nice if shell casings from both shootings were located and matched. Oh wait—they were…..and they did. That’s called physical evidence. The majority of the evidence though against Davis was eyewitness testimony. That tends to be the case when you shoot someone in a busy fast food parking lot.

Many of the eye witnesses in this case did not consist simply of strangers. Several of the eyewitnesses knew Davis personally. The majority of them established the following:

Two tall, young black men were harassing a vagrant in the Burger King parking lot, one in a yellow shirt and the other in a white Batman shirt. The one in the white shirt used a brown revolver to pistol-whip the vagrant. When a cop yelled at him to stop, the man in the white shirt ran, then wheeled around and shot the cop, walked over to his body and shot him again, smiling.

Every eye witness described the shooter as wearing a white shirt, some said it was a white shirt with writing and some identified it specifically as a white Batman shirt. Not one witness said the man in the yellow shirt was involved at all.

Several of Davis’ friends testified-without recantation- that he was the one in the white shirt. Several eye witnesses, both acquaintances and strangers, specifically identified Davis at the one who shot Officer MacPhail.

Now the media would have you believe that seven of the nine witnesses against Davis at the trial have recanted. First of all, the state presented 34 witnesses against Davis—not nine—which should give you an idea how unencumbered the media is about the importance of facts in their reporting.

Of the recantations offered, three were friends of Davis who made minor or unbelievable modifications to their trial testimony. One alleged recantation was not a recantation at all, but rather reiterated all relevant parts of her trial testimony, which included a direct identification of Davis as the shooter. Only two of the seven alleged “recantations” (out of 34) actually recanted anything of value, and those two affidavits were discounted by the court because Davis himself refused to allow the affiants to testify at the post-trial evidentiary hearing!

More then a dozen courts have looked at Davis’ case and refused to overturn the death sentence. Death penalty opponents and liberal media reporters have fixated on Davis’ race of course, so it is not surprising that they failed to mention that all of the above witnesses are themselves African American, as was the first man Davis shot that night.

Davis is about as innocent as every other executed man since 1960.

So there it is. If there is a shred of human decency remaining in the network media I cannot find it. How can a body of people who purport to be professional news presenters engage in such despicable conduct? They knew every bit of the information I just shared with you and specifically chose to omit it from their story lines. It creates more viewership if they can churn up some good old fashioned racial conflict and class warfare, even when it isn’t there.

Where is the moral indignation out there? This type of attempted manipulation by the media propagandists should not be tolerated in a free society. It should be immediately and effectively smashed wherever it raises its oppressive head. Is the truth today nothing more then just collateral damage in the liberal crusade on moral relevancy? Network news made every effort to successfully return this sociopathic killer to the streets as a free man. Half of the sobbing woman that had cameras shoved in their face were about 3 years old when the murder actually took place, yet they have been convinced to be downright angry at the injustice of something they know absolutely nothing about. NBC even managed to find an activist who blamed George Bush for the murder and insinuated that he should be executed! Bare naked lunacy does good TV make.

The progressive socialist movement is pulling hard on our moral anchor folks. It’s happening right in front of you and me. Every day a new normal is being introduced to us in eye dropper doses of indoctrination toward creating an America that is an ideologically amorphous and unrecognizable country. I think Edmond Burke’s warning bears repeating; “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

How true……………..
