INDIANA'S FAT TAX

INDIANA'S FAT TAX
   Here we go again.  We have Progressives reporting on "experts" who want more government intervention in our lives.  I have to say, real Americans are fed up with the bs.  Stacia Matthews posted a piece at http://www.indychannel.com/ with a lot of "facts" on May 17, 2012, with an update on May 18.  A closer look at what is posted reveals the story must be an interview with Dr. Eric Wright. 
   Dr. Eric Wright heads the Department of Public Health at the INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.  Now, Indiana has an Indiana State Department of Public Health, but that institute is not cited in this piece.  The piece sites a head of a department at a university!  This is just another piece of poop "reporting" that the mainstream media is renown for.
   None of the supporting "facts" are obtained by Americans:  They talk about a BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL saying more than 60% of Americans are overweight.  Stacia also posts that "a new study" is who suggested that imposing a fat tax on unhealthy food and drink is the best way to force Americans to loose weight and live healthier.  Really?  I would like more information on this unnamed "new study".
   Let me just go ahead and "bottom line" this report:  Americans cannot trust the main stream media for real information.  I'm not targeting Stacia.  I'm sure she is a nice person.  I am just saying that there is nothing in the main stream media these days that I find helpful.  When I examine the data, there is a huge amount of FACTS missing.
   I was taught to ask questions, like who, why, what, etc.  The answers to these questions regarding this article by Ms. Matthews appears to be the who is anybody who is in favor of higher taxes, which is the what.  To answer the why:  convince Americans they WANT government telling them how to conduct their lives.  I just don't see any other point of her report.  Today's mainstream media keeps pushing their socialist agenda and adjusting facts to brainwash Americans into accepting it, which probably should have been the title of this post.

What is your opinion?
