Liberal Media Turns Propaganda Guns on Marriage

There can be little doubt that marriage is the foundation of society. So naturally, the moonbats of the MSM want it destroyed, as the cancer known as the New York Times recently proved in a fluffy piece claiming that the majority of American women are unmarried (it counts 15-year-old girls as women) and that this is a wonderful thing.
Now at last women can live free, without any tedious commitments. Released from the constraints of tradition and morality, they can indulge their selfish whims day and night their whole lives long. William Frey of the liberal Brookings Institution exalts that the decline of marriage is
a clear tipping point, reflecting the culmination of post-1960 trends associated with greater independence and more flexible lifestyles for women.
Marriage is portrayed as a potentially fatal disease. One divorced woman gasps:
Once you go through something you think will kill you and it doesn't, every day is like a present.
Typically, the lapdogs at CBS News followed along behind the Slimes, exuberantly wagging their tails. Katie Cupcake urged women to imitate Angelina Jolie, who lives out of wedlock with fellow Hollyweird mannequin Brad Pitt. The segment opened with a clip from "Sex and the City," a racy HBO show about trendy NYC degenerates too hollow and self-indulgent to form meaningful relationships. This decadent TV show is the template upon which the MSM would have us model society.
Even the left-leaning Columbia Journalism Review was disgusted that neither the Times nor CBS News acknowledged that not all women are well-to-do Manhattan trendoids, or that for most, no husband means no money.
Without marriage, children are raised in poverty — or worse, aren't raised at all. For the alleged "freedom" that comes with orienting an empty existence around self-gratification at the expense of lasting commitments, the price is high. Not only are meaning and fulfillment sacrificed — so is the future.
On a tip from Bill V.
