Why is the leftist media going after the Red Cross? |
There is a story in The State
newspaper, Wednesday, attacking the Red Cross.
It's from liberal National Public
Radio and claims the Red Cross diverted assets for public relations
purposes after 2012's Hurricanes Sandy and Isaac.
Remember that was right before the
re-election of Barack Obama. He got all of the credit – using an
unwitting NJ Gov. Chris Christie - for fixing the upper East Coast
after those storms. The same media that vilified President George W.
Bush because New Orleans, and its corrupt government, bumbled its
defense of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Now NPR is bashing the Red Cross. NPR
says: “The Red Cross botched key elements of its mission after
2012's Hurricane Sandy and Isaac, leaving behind a trail of unmet
needs and acrimony.”
The media never told us of unmet needs and acrimony after Obama visited. We were told all was well. But now
it's the Red Cross' fault? Or does Obama need a scapegoat?
The story was filed by ProPublica and
NPR.
ProPublica was founded by establishment
journalists, one from the New York Times. It claims to produce
“journalism that shines a light on exploitation of the weak by the
strong and on the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust
placed in them.”
The Red Cross is the STRONG exploiting
the Weak? I'm sure ProPublica, along with NPR is much more of a bully
than the Red Cross. And it's more likely the Red Cross has been busy saving lives,
while ProPublica staff, with leftists from NPR, sipped Manhattans in
Manhattan (ProPublica's home office.)
Also, the same The State newspaper
going after the Red Cross today, reported on July 28, that the “Red
Cross Central South Carolina Chapter has cut ties after an 89-year
relationship with the United Way of the Midlands.”
Link: Is United Way a leftwing political operation?
Link: Is United Way a leftwing political operation?
The break begs the question: Is the
Red Cross not liberal enough for a United Way that moves more
leftward and political each day?
Now NPR is attacking the Red Cross. You
can bet there is more to it than exposing mis-management. When the
media works to coordinate coverage like this, someone at the Red
Cross has either been bold about the Cross, or not liberal enough in
its identity.
Liberals will politicize anything and
everything. So if you give to the United Way, but not to the Red
Cross, it may be time to switch allegiance. Because it is doubtful
the attack on the Red Cross is justified or pure in its motives.
