I've had it. If there was even a glimmer of any sort of real journalism left in America it is gone, in my mind. As the title of this post suggests, there are more earth-shattering issues going on in America than you can shake a stick at - I mean, seriously, we have an America that is under attack by a Marxist President....we have an America that has never been so polarized...you can literally FEEL the tension in the air in America and with this plethara of news worthy items that would rock America's very foundations, the Associated Press is trying to dig up scandal on some organization that Newt Gingrich heads up. It would be laughable if it wasn't so sad.
This is journalism in America, folks. This is now what can safely be called The Ministry of Propaganda. The Media is no longer in the tank with the Leftists, they are actually taking the lead in the overall action plan of destroying this country. The MSM is our enemy, now. They brought this battle to America, they have thrown down the gauntlet in front of the American people and it is now time to make the Ministry of Propaganda and all of its outlets across this land pay a very dear price.
Here's the ridiculous "news" story from the AP via Breitbart:

Here's the ridiculous "news" story from the AP via Breitbart:
Topless club owner: Gingrich group rescinded award
DALLAS (AP) - Newt Gingrich's conservative group gave—and then rescinded—a business award to a popular topless club in Texas, the proprietor said Thursday.
Dawn Rizos said she was looking forward to receiving the promised "Entrepreneur of the Year" award at a Washington, D.C., banquet from American Solutions for Winning the Future, which the former U.S. House speaker chairs.
After all, Rizos is the owner of The Lodge, which was named the Best Overall Club in America last year by ED Publications, which sponsors the gentlemen's club industry's annual convention and trade show.
But before she had a chance to dine on lobster bisque with Gingrich at the Oct. 7 awards dinner with some 50 other business leaders, the honor was yanked away. The group apparently confused Rizos' business, which is legally called DCG Inc., with one by the same name in Virginia.
"I honestly thought that Mr. Gingrich wanted to honor our company because it's very successful," Rizos said. "Really, what's two more people to dinner? How rude!"
She wondered how such a mistake could have occurred and questioned the about-face.
"I just don't understand why this is so taboo," she added. "You can see racier things on MTV than what goes on in this club."
Rick Tyler, a spokesman for Gingrich, declined to comment. Dan Kotman, American Solutions' press secretary, did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press.
A fax Rizos received from American Solutions in early September explained that she was being honored for "your success in building your business and recognition of the risks you take to create jobs and stimulate the economy."
The Lodge, which has about 150 employees, mainly waitresses and kitchen staff, contracts with an additional 570 dancers or entertainers. It awards a college scholarship annually to an entertainer.
In the letter, American Solutions promised Rizos that she'd "dine privately with Newt," and have his ear on ways to "turn this country around."
After she confirmed her reservation, she was asked to join Gingrich's Business Defense and Advisory Council and pay an annual $5,000 fee, which she did. A Sept. 16 letter signed by Gingrich thanked her for her contribution and said he looked forward to presenting her with the award.
But a phone call Tuesday from an event organizer explained that there had been a mistake, and Rizos was no longer welcome. The caller, Michael Johnston of InfoCision, which works with groups to assemble donor lists, said American Solutions meant to honor a company called DCG in Virginia, said Mike Precker, The Lodge's public relations manager.
Of several companies in Virginia with DCG in their names, none contacted by The Associated Press said it was being honored by Gingrich's group. Ken Schrad, a spokesman for Virginia's State Corporation Commission, found a DCG Inc. operating in the 1990s, but said it had long since disappeared.
American Solutions—the political arm of Gingrich's lucrative empire as an author, pundit and consultant—plans to reimburse Rizos the $5,000 she paid along with the costs of the airfare she booked to fly to Washington.
Rizos said she had hoped to share her views with Gingrich in person—she doesn't like party politics and feels cooperation across party lines is what's needed to help the nation.
"Newt and I have a lot in common," she added. "Family values, promoting small businesses and keeping the government out of people's personal and private lives."
