These are our observations and we would like to hear yours.
We can only feel that The Telegraph has consistently showed a disregard for any journalistic integrity, what so ever.
The Telegraph which is owned by McClatchy Newspapers and employees Sherrie Marshall as the executive editor continues to amaze us. From what we have seen the last few years we could conclude that the job of the executive editor is to scan the wires and other sources in order to determine what they need to do to cover-up and carry the water for Attorney General Eric Holder and the United States Justice Department. Such things as gun running, "Fast and Furious", the congressional hearings, Holders lies to congress and the congressional hearings are not to be mentioned at any cost. The extent of the news about the Justice Department is limited to Eric Holder's local connections. We feel that these are things any honest news paper would cover.
This is quite differeant from what Excutive Editor Sherrie Marshall and the Telegraph did during the last administration when George Bush fired 6 Federal prosecutors.
In their tireless effort they left no stone unturned in order to locate and print anything they could find which would denigrate Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and his justice department. The following images depicts a small part and is a limited example of how disparaging The Telegraph was.
As far as we can determine they never ran an article pointing out what The Bush Administration did was legal and the fact that Attorney General Gonzales had done nothing illegal.Their bigoted goal was to join the pack and run Attorney General Gonzales out of office. History shows that what could be considered deceit and dishonesty succeeded, Attorney General Gonzales resigned.
The media in a shameless manner continued to hammer away at the former Attorney General to no avial. Then according to the wikipedia web site a July 2009 Department of Justice report from "The Inspector General did not recommend criminal charges against Gonzales. To the contrary, the Inspector General found no criminal wrongdoing and no perjury."
A search of The Telegraph for the month of July 2009 for information on a Department of Justice Report disclosed nothing, The Telegraph did not have the common decency to report this fact.
We came to the conclusion a long time ago that these people are not journalist. They are like the Ku Klux Klan of the past they do the dastardly work of the Democratic party and never look back. We do not make this claim lightly and base it on recorded history.
Historian Eric Foner observed:
"In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired restoration of white supremacy. Its purposes were political, but political in the broadest sense, for it sought to affect power relations, both public and private, throughout Southern society. It aimed to reverse the interlocking changes sweeping over the South during Reconstruction: to destroy the Republican party's infrastructure, undermine the Reconstruction state, reestablish control of the black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life."It is things like this which convince us that in spite of The Telegraph's claim to be "middle Georgia's newspaper" they are not going to provide you with the truth and the news you will need to make an honest decision going into the November election.
Then there are other insignificant things like The Telegraph dropping the reference to the First Ammendmant from the masthead, their prefrence for a replacement was jokes from the late night TV shows. You can see it the last time it appeared on March 5, 2009.
The other thing we have noticed they use to carry on the masthead a note "To Our Readers"where they assured the readers that: "The Telegraph is committed to fair, balanced and accurate reporting. This appeared for the last time on April 06, 2009. Perhaps the fact that this happened during the time frame when Obama was getting his feet on the ground is only a concidence or maybe in a small way someone had an attack of guilt and relized just how untrue it was. We know this is difficult to believe about the staff at The Telegraph, but maybe we should consider it.
Have a nice day.
