Bye-Bye Miss American Pie

And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.

And they were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin, thisll be the day that I die.
This'll be the day that I die.

Well, the music didn't die today, but journalism did.
It is dead and gone. The media decided to back a candidate in this election. The people that are supposed to be unbias, fair, and neutral chose a side. In doing so they made their candidate out to be the next savior. All the while covering and hiding areas that needed to be exposed.

Where was the media in depth scoop on Rev. Wright? Where were the questions about his relationship with Bill Ayers? For the last 8 years the media has questioned, scrutinized, and slandered President Bush. But, when Talk Radio personalities like Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity make a remark about Obama, they are called racists. I see a double standard.

I think journalism has lost the trust of 57 million people.

R.I.P. journalism.

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell Could break that satans spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singing,Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
And singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.

and that my friends is the song...on this cowboys mind.
