The Uninvited Ombudsman Report – No. 13

Taken from this week’s “Page Nine” Alan Korwin’s “The uninvited Ombudsman Report”

The lamestream media told you:
Giant exotic oysters have been found in San Francisco bay, according to a story with no byline from the Associated Press. This has caused grave concerns among environmentalists who fear the invasive species could have adverse effects on native oyster species and upset the natural ecological balance in the bay. Up to nine inches long, divers have removed 256 of the exotic mollusks so far. It's unclear how they got there, or how many are left.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Migration and survival of the fittest are basic features of the theory of evolution, but as soon as a hardy species of anything shows up at someone's doorstep, envirophiles get overcooked about "invasive species." Hey, you either accept nature with all its warts, or need to admit that this branch of environmentalism is a corrupt system of affirmative action for favored organisms, driven by junk science and an illogical misguided sympathy for one animal over another animal.
The lamestream media told you:
Senator John McCain, in hot water for bashing President Bush then quickly retracting his remarks, could not be reached for comment because he was traveling in Europe.
Ombudsman notes however that:
The idea that a U.S Senator can't be reached because he's traveling in Europe insults the intelligence of news consumers, and we know it. Your grandmother can be reached while she's traveling in Europe, and a U.S. Senator can be reached anywhere, even the toilet, which is where "news" media credibility is heading with stories like this.

The lamestream media told you:
The Census Bureau has released the first of what will now be annual reports, detailing huge demographic profiles of the American public. The Bureau had formerly released reports once every ten years.
According to spokespersons, local officials need such information so they can make important decisions on how to provide services and manage the affairs of the public.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Census exists solely because the Constitution requires a head count once every ten years, to apportion seats in Congress. In what may be the largest case of a self-generated government make-work project, the Bureau has decided to become the nation's annual demographer instead. Justifying the move by appealing to efficient management of the population doesn't excuse the wholesale expansion of the bureaucracy.
Editors note: While this may not appear to be related to firearms, it is directly related to constitutional issues. As our firearms rights are defined in the constitution, any attempt to thwart the constitution (especially for political gain) should be seen a threat to your rights.
The lamestream media told you:
"The honeymoon is over for the Minutemen," according to the lead from Susan Carroll and Dennis Wagner, writing on page one for the 500,000 circulation Arizona Republic (8/11). The story details disagreements within the leadership, and raises financial questions that won't be answered until an audit is released in November.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Leading a news story with flagrant editorializing is the height of unethical behavior under most editorial guidelines. The reporters are still at large.
Carroll's previous stories show a consistent distaste for the work of the group that single-handedly brought the tremendous problem of illegal immigration to public attention. Few chances to belittle or demean the efforts of the Minuteman volunteers were missed, with reporting that consistently downplayed the effects of a million or more people illegally flooding into the country every year.
In a related case (8/14), an extensive front-page examination of the crisis in hospital emergency rooms (by reporter Jodie Snyder) didn't once mention the illegals who are the core problem. Not once. She is still at large too. According to doctors and nurses suffering under the overload, illegals clog the buildings, can't pay, are not insured, seek routine care, and are bankrupting the system. Repeated calls for comment went unanswered.

If you would like to read this type of reporting in your local paper, send the editor a note asking them to reprint the "Page Nine." If enough of us ask, we may be plesently surprised by the results.
