Media's Attempt At Electorate Conditioning
To The Editor:
How many times have you read or heard reported from various news sources, “Senator Cruz, first Republican to enter the 2016 presidential race” or “Senator Paul becomes second Republican candidate” or, perhaps, “Secretary Clinton, first Democrat presidential candidate?” In each case, they are fallacious stories created and reported with a disregard to the facts which are readily available from the Federal Election Commission. The truth is, Senators Cruz and Paul were, respectively, numbers 55 and 58 in the Republican lineup of registered candidates, while Secretary Clinton was number 34 among the Democrat candidates.
When the media makes such false statements it inflicts serious political and financial injury on the excluded candidates. Such omission results in campaign resources being continually expended to regain ground lost in consequence to flagrant distortions of fact and precipitates further omissions such as invitations to major political events due to the lack of public visibility. Injury too, and with equal concern, is imparted upon the people who are denied a balance of information about all the candidates and the ideas they offer; ideas that may better resolve our nation’s ills than those offered, or not, by the few the media choose to promote.
While I seek regulatory relief through the FEC and Federal Communications Commission, I encourage the people to demand relief of the injustice imposed upon them by communicating their displeasure to their favored news sources who may be guilty of these charges. If we do not resolve this discriminatory obstruction to our political process, then the media will have achieved their goal of electorate conditioning and the people will elect primary candidates and a president, not of their choosing, but of the media’s.
