I think its Blogger Time. Why is all our Major Media pleading the Terrorist side of the case?

It is time to think out of the box.

It is time to brain storm and throw out possible reasons why the Major Media take too often the other side in seemingly opposing our "CITIZEN" Americans trying to secure their nation. They are too often seemingly embracing our "CITIZEN" Terrorists

What I am about to say is true but I do not know to the degree and how it may compare to other reasons.

Here goes:

Major Newspapers and TV have caucuses of people working for them that are there to provide a diversity of opinion. My reference are Bernard Goldberg's books of "BIAS" and "Arrogance".
Thus there are groups of Blacks, Asian, Gays, Muslims etc.
I contend and similar to why France and Germany have turned on us, is that the Editors of these Major Media are being totally intimidated by their Muslim Caucus and Muslim Sympathizer Journalists on their staff.

Per Goldberg it is one thing to have diversity; it is another to have both sides of this diversity and you cannot have all liberal Blacks, Asian, or hard core Islamists on your staff.

It is time to find out why our Major Media seems to be letting us down big time other than proving beyond a doubt some exhausting theoretically correct position which undermines our basic "right to security".
