The local communities, through their leaders, were able to build a communications network that allowed my work here to reflect the needs and interests of the people within the 9th Congressional District. It's been an honor to do that and we did so successfully.

One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.

The cost of congressional and presidential campaigns has been leaping every two or four years. I think this year it will be 60 percent more than 1996; well over twice as much as in 1992 in the presidential and congressional races.

All of journalism is a shrinking art. So much of it is hype. The O.J. Simpson story is a landmark in the decline of journalism.

The only school that let me in was U.C. Santa Cruz, which is where I went. They didn't have a journalism program, so I took sociology, which is the closest thing to journalism.

Cloaked and Hidden Agenda
You think I can't see through your strategy?
Or your cloaked and hidden agenda.
You think your creepiness comes to bother me?
Or your cloaked and hidden agenda.
You think me to be weak and a bit naïve.
You think my eyes are closed to your deceit.
But I'm a product of these urban streets!
And that cloaked and hidden agenda.
I've got a remedy to chill the heat,
Of that cloaked and hidden agenda.
We'll see which one is stunned with frozen feet.
When you free that hidden agenda.
My mind is not blinded or fast asleep.
I see right through you and I don't have to peep.
That repeated game will be your defeat.
With that cloaked and hidden agenda!
You think I can't see through your strategy?
Or your cloaked and hidden agenda.
You think me to be weak and a bit naïve.
You think my eyes are closed to your deceit.
But I'm a product of these urban streets!
And that cloaked and hidden agenda.
I've got a remedy to chill the heat.
We'll see which one is stunned with frozen feet.
You think me to be weak and a bit naïve.
But I'll beat that hidden agenda!
Those tactics that you use will be put to bed.
With everything you've done and everything you've said.
And I'm going to be the one to end your dread.
And your cloaked and hidden agenda!

But in the right-wing media, they do have a right-wing bias. And they also have an agenda. So their agenda is: we're an adjunct of the Republican Party, and we're going push that agenda every day, and, as you say, brand these stories that help further the right-wing cause.

Honored By Men
The honor that mere men bestow, is motivated by a political undertow,
A hidden agenda that won’t prevail, as Eternal Truths these men assail.
This man tickles hearts and minds, of people from nations of all kinds,
Promoting peace that will never be, as they ignore the God of Eternity.
A man addresses the world’s fears, skillfully tickling man’s many ears,
Saying all that needs to be said, for men in darkness; spiritually dead.
A body gathers together a majority, of men with eyes who cannot see,
Spiritual darkness within the world, lifting up from it, a leader to herald.
Woe, when all men speak well of you, as there is evil they cannot view,
From the darker agenda of men, promoting a world God will condemn,
A world where The Sovereign Lord, by many leaders is wholly ignored,
Moving Nations into an amoral state, and men towards a godless fate.
So mere men will continue to lift up, others, who are politically corrupt,
Leaders who look to be fully able, but, go on making nations unstable,
As the masses are blinded by, the enemy of God, Who reigns on high.
Unknowing they’re deluded by him, to embrace an amoral world of sin.
Political deception continues to rise, as the God on high, men despise,
A world looking to man’s solution, will soon be met by strong delusion,
As the darkest leader is be unfurled, to be honored by this entire world,
And when by men, he is believed, Judgment from God will be received.

The mainstream media has its own agenda. They do not want to print the facts. They have an agenda, they have a slant, they have a bias. It is outrageous to me.
