The Medias Will full Ignorance

So this happened today.

And it's a good point actually but left wing retards don't want anybody stating the obvious.
Progressive/leftists have been looking for something to hang on the NFL since that old chestnut about Super Bowl Sunday being the biggest day of domestic violence ever has been debunked over and over again.
Even the left leaning Snopes can't float that one anymore.

So now the left wing/commie media is trying to deflect attention away from the dismal policies of the Obama administration,on so many issues it's getting exhausting to list them all, by attempting to make the NFL some how responsible for stuff committed by individuals and under investigation where it should be.

Journalism has now become abut misdirection.
We deserve better than this.

The Ray Rice Media Distraction

Like everyone else I've been keeping an eye on the Ray Rice beating his fiance/wife thing because the media keeps shoving it into our faces.
I'm not disputing that it's a terrible thing he did but with all the things going on in the world it seems a little strange that this is what they want to obsess over.

There's a couple of things I've been able to take away about this story.
One is that apparently beating your fiance'/wife is on par with opposing homosexual marriage because either one seems a worthy reason to lose your job.
The other thing is that the public seems to believe that they have a right to virtually flog the transgressor even though the public isn't the one he harmed.

I would think that instead of trying to banish this guy and his wife from society that people would be more interested in making this whole thing a teachable moment about how to break the cycle of domestic abuse.
I've seen couples go through this before and more time than not they seperate for a while and then without counseling they just get back together and basically rinse and repeat.
Even with counseling some couples repeat the cycle but more don't, they either separate for good or one partner learns why he/she has violent tendencies and learns to control his/her anger and urges.
 If people really cared about the situation then they would pressure the NFL to suspend Ray Rice until after he and his wife successfully complete counseling for their issues.

But the media really doesn't care about this couple, what they care about is distracting the public from Benghazi, the IRS, Obamacare,ISIS/ISIL and Obama's failure to confront them or the abysmal economy and a myriad of other things.

Funny thing is that the people fall for the media's deflections every time.

Symbolism Over Substance

I realize that violence against women is a real issue that needs to be addressed but come on, men walking a mile in high heels?
The only issue they're bringing awareness to is that some men will do anything to look stupid.


Men Walk in Heels for Domestic Violence Prevention

Domestic violence is not just a women's issue, so men put on their high heels and took to the track to raise awareness while walking a mile.
"We have a lot of supporters who are men who want to get the word out that domestic violence is not only a women's issue and this is a great, fun way for them to be involved," said Melanie Palmer, Executive Director at the Northwest Arkansas Women's Shelter.
Men walked a mile in women's shoes.
"Our guys decided that the best thing we could do today was get out here and rock some red heels and make a difference," said participant Mike Gilbert.
He strutted his stuff around the track, and helped raise awareness for domestic violence prevention.
"We couldn't think of anything better to do on a cold Saturday morning than support the people in our community that are really reaching out and making a difference in the lives of people who need help."
More than 100 folks bundled up and braved the morning cold in Bentonville, all for the cause.

All this is is cheap symbolism, a little blurb for local news stations to report on with a little smirk on their faces and a roll of their eyes. 

I guess in the age of Obama all there's left are dumb little stunts like this that in the grand scheme of things changes very little.

You want to reduce violence against women?

How about demanding the government do something about jobs so that so many families aren't pushed into poverty? Doing something for a change to encourage growth in the private sector so people can see a future and something to look forward to instead of the dread and worry about being able to support a family?

That would do more to prevent domestic violence than men wearing high heels around a running track.
