At a town hall meeting in Reno, Nevada yesterday, a 19-year
old college student had the courage/temerity to lay some truth on the GOP
presidential candidate Jeb Bush, and told him, “Your brother created ISIS.”
This was after a speech by Bush alleging Obama was responsible for the rise of
terrorists groups in the Middle East.
It is such a sad state of affairs in political media
coverage when a simple statement of truth from a teenager becomes national
headlines. Stop the presses, someone confronted Jeb Bush with the truth. How
dare this young hooligan drag reality into the political realm. Doesn’t she
know the script? Isn’t she aware of how the game is played?
That’s where we're at, folks. The mainstream news media has
abrogated its responsibilities for so long now that confronting a politician
with the truth in a public setting is now headline worthy news. George Bush did
help create ISIS, and his father helped build al Qaeda when it was fighting the
Russians in Afghanistan.
The mainstream media cowers in fear at the feet of people
like Bush, following the narrative set by its owners to avoid the truth at
the risk of looking biased and turning away viewers. As a result, we need courageous citizens like Ivy Ziedrich who are willing
to stand up to people running for public office and call them out on their lies
and distortions. Thank you Ivy for doing what our news media is afraid to.
