You know, there is something to be said about darn good journalism. Once again; Robert Stacy McCain does, what the Main Stream Corporate Media will not do. Report the story accurately.

An Excerpt from the story in The American Spectator: (H/T The Other McCain)

“He knocked on the wrong door,” was the way one resident described what most locals familiar with the case consider the most likely scenario for Sparkman’s killing. As the Newseek story notes, eastern Kentucky is known as a haven of marijuana growers. The weed growers plant their crops in Daniel Boone National Forest, which sprawls across the mountainous region and encompasses half of Clay County.

What would be proven if we knew (as we do not) that Sparkman was engaged in Census work at the time of his disappearance — most likely Sept. 9, three days before his body was discovered in the Hoskins family cemetery some 30 miles east of his home — and “knocked on the wrong door”?

If the fatal door he knocked on was at the home of a marijuana grower or a drug dealer (methamphetamine and other drugs are also problems in the region), who killed him after mistaking Sparkman’s federal identification as evidence that the stranger was a narcotics agent, is that an “anti-government” or “anti-Census” motive? Or is it merely a criminal seeking to prevent detection of his crimes — the kind of killing that happens with unfortunate frequency in America all the time?

That, however, is strictly a hypothetical scenario. The haste of some journalists and bloggers to attribute Sparkman’s mysterious death to a particular motive — to give it a political meaning — based on speculation and assumptions, is irresponsible in the extreme. . . . – Read the Rest, Please.

I like to tease Robert Stacy McCain quite a bit; it is because I happen to like the old chap. But, in reality I know damn well, that Mr. McCain is one of those rare reporters; who tells the truth, puts his political beliefs aside and tells the straight story. It is a great pity, that some of his equals among the liberally financed media, are not able to do the same thing. It is pretty bad; when someone like me or anyone else in America, has to go to a Conservative Blog or a Conservative-owned and financed magazine to get to the straight truth about a story.

My question to you is this; what does it say about the status of the American media, when you go to sites like Newsweek and you happen to read stories like the one about Bill Sparkman, which are outright fabrications of the truth?  The answer is quite and painfully obvious; that the Socialist Liberal-funded Media, in it’s desire to please the new Black President of the United States of America; has, in fact, sacrificed its integrity at the alter of the Socialist, Anti-Conservative agenda.  Bill O’Reilly has said this for years; and nobody believed him; now it is getting harder and harder to ignore or even to dismiss that fact. In fact, I used to laugh at Bill for even making that accusation. However, it is now becoming more and more apparent to this writer, that the liberal-funded media is not interested in reporting the fact,  but is more interested in further the agenda of the far, far left and possibly even the agenda of the White House itself.

What does this mean for Blogs, Conservative websites and Blogs? It means that the rest of America; who are not committed leftists, are going to start reading these sites to see anything, that is even remotely critical of the President or to see any true accurate reporting. I believe it is sad too; because there was a time, when one could actually get decent reporting out of the Corporate funded media. Honestly, if it were not for Rupert Murdoch; I believe much of the honest and critical reporting of President Barack Obama would be limited to Blogs and small Conservative media outlets. Honestly? There was a time, when I used to grind my teeth and curse the fact that Rupert Murdoch even existed; but now, quite frankly, I am eternally grateful for the man and his media outlet. Further more, I am eternally grateful for those, who stick their necks out and choose to do battle with the Socialists, who dominate the media circus. There are many of them; and they know who they are and how much I am grateful for them.

My friends, it is going to be long painful four to eight years in America; we must choose now, if we stand and fight or if we decided to shrink away and allow our freedoms to be taken from us.  There will be personal risks involved and the rewards will be minimal, but if we are to save this might Republic from those who want to see it destroyed, we are going to have to count the cost and work. Who of among you will join us?

The harvest is vast, but the laborers are few.
