MORE hypocrisy by the Columbian? When the "will of the people" matters.

.
One of the biggest problems I've got (and there are many) with our local excuse for journalism is their situational ethics.

They wrongly proclaim they're mainstream, with no leftist bent, yet in the last partisan elections, they endorsed democrats and democrats only fr any open seat, from the president on down to the local level.

That, of course, is their privilege. But when they do endorse, they are much less likely to hold those they endorse up to anything approaching the same standard as those they oppose... the largest local examples being that of their glowing endorsement of the empty suited, anti-American racist bigot they wanted to win the presidency and their efforts to rehab the image of the Cowardman, our local congressman who faked a death threat to avoid facing his constituents over the empty suit's socialization health care programs.

He has done a spectacularly abysmal job in every area. He's piled lie upon lie, exaggeration upon exaggeration. But when it comes to those righteous editorials slamming that moron, what do we get?

Nothing but crickets chirping.

So, today's effort, as innocuous as it is, gave yet another glimpse of this left wing rag's double standard. Here's the money quote:
In listening to the will of the public, and in supporting the construction and maintenance of trails, local governments show their commitment to recreation and public health

Which, of course, brings us to the crux of the matter:

WHY is the so-called "will of the people" so damned important when this stain on journalism supports what the perceive to be that will, but not nearly so important when this despicable rag fears the probable outcome?

And there's the rub. The stinking, rank hypocrisy of the positions of this waste of wood pulp is but one of the many reasons why they're circling the drain.

IF "The will of the people" is important on an issue like "trails," THEN IT'S IMPORTANT ON ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ELSE.... LIKE $4 BILLION BRIDGES AND LOOT RAIL THAT WE NEITHER NEED.... OR WANT.

I've been waiting, with growing impatience, for this despicable crap pile to demand that the will of the people be sought in a county wide vote before we waste another dime on studies with pre-ordained outcomes that have vaporized $100,000,000.

This isn't the only instance this garbage heap has talked about the "will of the people" when it suits them. Now, if they'd only apply the SAME standard to this horrific waste of billions of dollars that THEY want, but that THEY won't have to pay for, why, I'd be EVER so grateful.
