The Telegraph a Work in Progress

As a lot of people have noted ever since The Telegraph endorsed this administration their number one priority has been to cover-up and carry their water.

When they made their endorsement their first concern was for “historians” and “the time after the glow of the moment has worn dim….”  Then we are assured these historians would "...find several history-making moments."


Never once in the endorsement did they utter the word qualification, nor did they show any concern what so-ever about the good of the community, the state and this Great Nation. It is as if they were blinded by the color of the man’s skin, but this brings to mind the hatchet job and character assignation they did on the Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain.

When we look at this reasonable people may conclude the color of the skin had nothing to do with it. They may decide that it is just plain bigotry. Looking back we can see where they have displayed this trait numerous times in the past.  

As The Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson gazes into the mind of the future “historians” and writes for The Telegraph’s editorial board he reveals some startling facts.

Among the first of things which: “…will be most striking to historians will be the resonance of the word ‘change’ but not in the sense that Obama used it on the campaign stump.”

We find out that “From health care to tax policy to dealing with the reprobates of the world, Sen. Obama’s ideas are clearly superior to those of Sen. McCain, whose judgment has been rightly called into question.”

Richardson was careful to point out that McCain “in the face of a $700 billion bailout…” declared “…that the fundamentals of our economy ‘are sound.’”


As Obama pats himself on the back and tells the world that the private sector is doing fine The Telegraph ignores it, apparently they decide it is not news.  


We are told “…Obama has ‘style and substance.’ And “That substance includes a keen intellect and posture to help him navigate the pressing issues bombarding our nation.”

That is not all; this overly gifted individual also “…has a unique ability to inspire cross culturally.”  The former, we think we know what they were trying to portray but without more clarity can’t be sure.

Well it is less than one-hundred-days until the people of this Great Nation get a replay. As we approach November we need to look back at the past conduct of The Telegraph and how they have failed to be honest with the people of middle Georgia with what they have portrayed as news and facts!

The Telegraph has abandoned all pretenses of journalistic integrity and morality.

We realize that the “lousy lunch” and “over 70,000 reasons” has been a bit repetitious; however there is a reason for this madness. The more places and the more times it appears the more people will see it.  

We feel that it is an indication and gives an insight in to what we can expect from The Telegraph and staff as to what we will get for news. It is an indicator of how much we can trust them. If they are willing to do this and then try to hide it reasonable people just may assume they cannot be trusted to be honest with the so- called news they put in the paper and the things they present as facts.

This has been clearly demonstrated. The Telegraph’s President and Publisher George McCanless and his staff have had to devote time to putting the “lousy lunch” or lunches behind them. This is where some of The Telegraph’s staff dines on the taxpayers’ dime thanks to some local government officials they defend.

Then there is what reasonable people might consider The Telegraph’s influence peddling for employment.

Again reasonable people may conclude that this has paid off quite handsomely for The Telegraph’s Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson. We are told the benefits exceed “over 70,000 reasons” in the taxpayers’ dollars for Richardson and his wife Pamela. You can see this at the link, the second paragraph from the bottom.  It was also noted at: The 70,000 Reasons Certain Members Of The Media Are Biased

On 04/29/12 Bill Knowles of wearepolitics.com informs us in his What The Bibb BOE Isn't Telling You about Dallemand' employing Charles Richardson's wife.  See the second paragraph from the bottom. 

Apparently McCanless was right and it did take a lot more than a “lousy lunch” for Dallemand to put Charles “…in his back pocket”.  We have already noted Bill Knowles and his The 70,000 Reasons Certain Members Of The Media Are Biased

We are told by Bill Knowles of wearepolitics.com that The Telegraph has pulled the link to the President and Publisher George McCanless’ defense of the Editorial Page Editors defense of Richardson violation of McClatchy’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. He was talking about the link at macon.com.  

The Telegraph also has the serious problem of deciding what news you should be allowed to read on the pages of the paper that they promote as “middle Georgia’s newspaper”.  

It appears as if The Telegraph’s primary purpose is to carry the water for the Obama Administration. If this is true there has to be a policy to determine what is and what is not permissible.

McCanless solved that problem where the ethical troubles of the Democrats in Washington are involved.  In a reply by e-mail to us in July 2010 when questioned about the ethical problems of Maxine Waters (D-Cal) and Charlie Rangel (D-NY), McCanless ignored Waters but informed us talking about Rangel that: “He hasn’t been convicted of anything --- yet.”  Then to enforce his point he tells us: “…I trust you get the message.”  Apparently this set the policy and took care of this as far as the legislative branch was concerned.

However, if The Telegraph was to carry the water and cover for the Obama Administration there had to be a policy, something to keep everyone on the same track, e.g.:  “Feds on call to ensure fairness at polls”  by Amy Leigh Womack on November 2, 2010. 


After writing this, according to her reply when she was asked about Attorney General Erick Holder and the problems at the Justice Department, she asked which problems. The Problem we were talking about was the voter fraud and intimidation of the “New Black Panthers” during the 2008 elections in Penn. This would have been pertinent to the story, yet she ignored it.


We are now finding out about the perjury and lies of the U.S. Justice Department in this case. This was done to hide the White House involvement. 

When we look at this and other things, reasonable people may conclude that the policy The Telegraph would use in their upcoming coverage of this administration would need to be something simple, something everyone could remember.

Perhaps in a stroke of genius someone decides The Telegraph should not use anything pertaining to this administration that could not be used in “Black History” month.

Whatever, looking back it would appear that this is the route they have taken; after all they have to keep future “historians” in mind.

We must remember the power of the pen and the newspaper. They wield an awesome power and it can be for good or evil.

The good was clearly demonstrated over 200-years-ago when it was used to help form one of the Greatest Nations on earth.


As for the evil, that was vividly demonstrated by an individual named Joseph Paul Goebbels in Germany in the 1930s.

As to the direction The Telegraph has chosen to take we will leave that for you to decide. As for our opinion we tend to think that as long as the "lousy lunch" or lunches and the "over 70,000 reasons" are available The Telegraph does not care.  

The next post will get into the things The Telegraph has decided that the people of middle Georgia did not need to know. Such as this administration's cover-up of the death of federal agents: “Fast and Furious”: gun running; contempt of court: contempt of congress: Executive Privledge to cover it up: their contempt for the laws of this Great Nation, etc.

Have a nice day.
