Some clear and obvious questions posed.
Unanswered by the media.
But mostly: do they actually care? Or is it: they couldn’t care less?
“And you (journalists, the media) were supposed to provide oversight. That’s why you have special liberties and that’s why you have special protections.”
As a former federal prosecutor, the selection of Mr Gowdy as Chairman was an excellent appointment. He is already asking the right questions.

Let’s put things in context, first, shall we?
Raffi Williams is the son of former NPR Left-leaning host and writer Juan Williams.
Here is Juan Williams, above: Juan Williams is black.
Here is his son, Raffi Williams, above: Raffi Williams is black.
Just why would female Ebony magazine editor Jamilah Lemieux “step in it” last week, pray tell?
From Twitchy.com:
After being rudely treated by Ebony editor Jamilah Lemieux, RNC staffer Raffi Williams stuck up for himself and other minority conservatives. Well, Lemieux’s supporters evidently do think black conservatives have a place in society — as long as that place is isolated and soundproof.
But first, Jamilah clearly indicated she isn’t interested in listening to anyone:
But the “best” worst part?
There you go. An uninformed black chick calling a black guy white. Because she’s ignorant and now has her racist tendencies outed. She sees race where the issue of melanin doesn’t exist.
This occurred on Twitter. Ben Carson and Armstrong Williams will be publishing a new magazine for Conservatives and Ebony trashed it. Raffi Williams supported the attempt. The editor weighed in and, amongst other things, called Raffi white. But white or black isn’t right or wrong, it’s a matter of diversity of viewpoints.
“Oh great, here comes a White dude telling me how to do this Black thing. Pass.”
Once again, Leftists proving that they are serial racists and serial crushers of actual diverse melanin and diverse critical thinking. Raffi Williams is now a “race traitor.”
Ever wonder why this country cannot seem to get past its race issues? Plain and simple, it’s because a number of specifically-delineated black racists cannot and will not allow America to do so; it would diminish both their power and their cash. Ebony editor Jamilah Lemieux has had her Race Card already outed and is now categorized with the Race and Poverty Pimpish likes of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, et al — just like the DHS employee who advocated “killing a lot of whites” and, incredibly, a 2013 poll that dared to show more Americans view blacks as racist than whites or Hispanics.
Finally, I say this: reverse the roles and realize how long the flames of the incident would have been continually fanned by Leftists in the DEM (Defeatist, Elitist Media) and AMM (American Media Maggots).
The Left simply wants to shut down thinking that is not completely congruent with their own, plain and simple. If you are black, you can only think one way. If white, another. How foolish and shallow is that?

First, the full video, then the back story:
The Reader’s Digest condensed version is below:
From the UK Telegraph comes the South American story:
Caught on camera: Brazilian robber shot while trying to take motorcycle
12:10PM BST 14 Oct 2013
A helmet camera captured the terrifying moment an armed robber was shot by an off-duty policeman as he attempted to steal a motorcycle.
The dramatic scene unfolded in broad daylight on a busy street in Sao Paulo. Video footage shows a motorcyclist’s view of the road ahead as he speeds through Brazil‘s largest city. As he approaches a junction, another motorcycle suddenly pulls alongside. The pillion passenger draws a large handgun which he points in the face of the video-equipped motorcyclist.
While the agitated robber demands the man hand over his keys, a policeman driving by in a small hatchback car has noticed what is going on.
With the robber climbing onto his newly acquired motorcycle, the policeman steps from his car and without any warning shoots the man twice.
Local reports claim the wounded robber later died in hospital.
A brief bit of editorial:
Was any sort of “justice” meted out this day, many would ask? I submit for your consideration: in the Real World, yes, it was.
However, in America, the officer would be featured by the American Media Maggots as a bloodthirsty killer, out for revenge, another notch in his gun, waiting to eradicate a young male held down by a system designed to oppress, diminish and negate the worth of such a misunderstood and naive juvenile who was only responding to the daily whipcracks of a society that sought to repress his enthusiasm and impugn his worth — a product of nothing more than his poor, skewed and tragic environment.
First, the video would be played and re-played for hours and days on the MSM/DEM venues. The bleating would be constant and strident: confused youth gunned down by onerous cop.
The officer’s life would be examined under a microscope. His fifth grade teacher would be interviewed. A Pitchess Motion would be made. A photograph of him wryly smirking for a camera would be utilized as the stock photo in every story, portrayed as the way he addressed every suspect, with disdain and abuse.
There would be marches. There would be protests. There would be candlelight vigils covered in graphic detail by the AMM. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would ensure their racist mugs were featured up front. Though it may not be an issue of race it would be manufactured as an issue of race. The facts be damned. Lawyers would queue up, the saliva running down their Thom Browne suits.
On the other hand, as with Trayvon Martin, the American Media Maggots would unearth the most innocent and the youngest photograph available for the male. They would find the one person in his neighborhood that he hadn’t burglarized. They would find, so to speak, the one seal that he hadn’t clubbed to death.
I submit that, under this somewhat thin veneer of civilization, there is still a fundamental right and wrong to the universe. A yin or yang, a proper and an improper.
Why are many Westerns so honored by moviegoers? Because they tend to break down events into their fundamental components: right and wrong. People know it, they smell it, they recognize it when they see it.
Perhaps John Wayne said it best:
I don’t believe I can elaborate much further.
