			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following was submitted by Joe C.</p>
<p>Where is the outrage…………..</p>
<p>Again I ask you where is the outrage.</p>
<p>Right now we have an Oil Spill the likes the world has never seen, yet our Gov’t is silent.</p>
<p>BP has been Obama’s biggest supporter, cash wise for years.</p>
<p>The stock market just dropped 1000pts because someone made a “Mistake” and hit the wrong button, (supposedly).</p>
<p>England is having an election to end all elections, has anyone seen the election posters? Look familiar?</p>
<p>Comedy Central folds under the pressure from a Muslim website, so they don’t say or show Mohamed, yet plans to make a “cartoon parody” about Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>Freddy Mac is asking for MORE money. (11 billion).</p>
<p>The Gov’t created more jobs in the Gov’t than the private sector did for the third month in a row.</p>
<p>Our new One Hundred Dollar bill looks like a Euro.</p>
<p>The news reports, what they think we should know, yet no one complains.</p>
<p>We will probably give 111,000,000 illegal aliens permanent status, that’s 111 MILLION people , that we pay for.</p>
<p>Arizona passes a law to keep their citizens safe and the GOV. thinks it’s unfair and unconstitutional. The next day immigration picks up 500 illegals, not bad for not knowing where any of them were.</p>
<p>Connecticut just Banned plastic water bottles, they’re bad for the environment…………</p>
<p>Let’s talk about how many people will become UNEMPLOYED if more states ban water bottles.</p>
<p>Students in the bay area were told to leave school or get suspended for WEARING AMERICAN FLAG T SHIRTS on May 5<sup>th</sup>, Cinco Dey Mayo.</p>
<p>The school was afraid of offending the Mexican population.</p>
<p>The Feds just hired 600, 000 census workers……….FOR WHAT?</p>
<p>All temporary workers who can collect unemployment after their done working for the Gov.</p>
<p>The Fed’s are pushing for more broadband regulations, the cost of cable, phone and internet will skyrocket.</p>
<p>Newspapers are being put out of business; all the major networks report the same news.</p>
<p>America………..wake up!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Whether you agree or not, just think about it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m no fan of Dan Rather. I personally believe him to be second only to Keith Olberman for being a biased news anchor who had no business in the chair. But these idiotic attacks on him for using the analogy that Obama couldn&#8217;t sell watermelons by the side of the road if the state troopers were directing traffic to him was not racial. It wasn&#8217;t intended to be racial, and I believe that anyone who thinks it is racial is either 1. An idiot or 2. A racist.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the clip, judge for yourself:</p>

<p>Politics is not the main news story today, but there is enough focus on that. While America is focused elsewhere, we have decided to keep our eyes on the media coverage of other things.</p>
<p>The White House in it&#8217;s war against FOX News, Anita Dunn, White House Communications Director,  stated &#8220;But let&#8217;s not pretend they&#8217;re a news organization like CNN is&#8221;</p>
<p>Apparently CNN has decided to show it&#8217;s appreciation for the White House endorsement by slanting the Health Care debate for the White House. I&#8217;m very disappointed in CNN, because they have had a fairly good record with Obama. CNN is a liberal organization, so there is going to be some slant. I understand this. CNN has, for the most part, been mostly fair. Since the White House comment, that fairness seems to be slipping further to the left.!</p>
<p>You can see this with today&#8217;s headline about the Health Care protests yesterday. The headline on CNN is highlighted in the image. Thousands showed up to protest and urge Congress to &#8220;Kill the Bill!&#8221; Of those thousands, 12 were arrested outside of Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s office for disorderly conduct. CNN&#8217;s headline: &#8220;Tea partiers arrested&#8221;</p>
<p>Really? All of the possible headlines about the thousands and this is the most important line of the day? I&#8217;ll let readers decide, but it really sounds like how a propaganda machine like the White House Communications Office would want it spun.</p>
<p>You be the judge.</p>

<p>This is the agency the Obama administration thinks delivers real news? On the front page of Foxnews and MSNBC the stories of the President announcing his health care backing of AARP and the AMA (Strategically muscled to counter the Republicans announcement of their plan) and the protests going on at the Capitol building.</p>
<p>If you get your news from CNN, you wouldn&#8217;t know that anyone other than the President and Nancy Pelosi is even in DC today. ABC managed to cover both in separate stories. CBS is, as usual, oblivious to almost everything going on in the world. (But hey, you can ask Katie Couric questions on facebook at 3PM) It is truly sad that journalism has deteriorated to the level that it has. Thank God for the internet and bloggers. It seems that the only way anyone knows about many things going on in this nation is thanks to bloggers. Is it any wonder that Rockefeller wants to give the President a &#8220;kill&#8221; switch for the internet?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you all probably know, by now, I am a big critic of the press. I&#8217;ve sided with Fox News in the war with the White House and I like to call the press on shabby reporting. Looking at the websites of the major 3 cable news networks today, CNN is by far the most fair and balanced coverage of last night&#8217;s election. MSNBC, is ridiculous as always. Fox is the big loser though, because while it wasn&#8217;t as bad as MSNBC, it had farther to fall, and it did.</p>
<p>In a time where the White House is accusing them of slanting the news towards the Republican Party, this would be a good time to re-enforce the &#8220;Fair and Balanced&#8221; idea. Yet, Fox News failed to do that. It seems that the entire nation, especially Fox News, has been focused on 3 elections: New Jersey Governor, Virginia Governor, and New York Congressional District 23. A Democrat won in the Congressional election while Republicans won in the other two. CNN and MSNBC mention both. CNN makes excuses for the Republican win and MSNBC just whines about it as usual. But trying to find results of the New York race on Fox News proved difficult. I did find the results in an opinion piece on Fox News. I have to say, I expect than kind of coverage from the others.</p>
<p>Fox News, you let me down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to commend CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC.</p>
<p>Yes, you are on the correct web page. As you all know, based on the previous posts, I have no tolerance for what I view as lack of journalistic integrity. However, since I am so quick to point out when they lack it, I should be just as quick to point out when they do a great job of showing it.</p>
<p>Yesterday, they did a great job of showing it.</p>
<p>The White House setup a group of Round-Robin Issues for the press pool  with the Pay Czar, but excluded FOX. The other networks stepped up and said that if FOX was not included that no one would participate in the Round Robin.</p>
<p>Kudos for the other networks for realizing that no government entity should work that hard to silence opposition.</p>

<p>Well, putting aside the obvious socialism of the Obama Administration. Let&#8217;s look at the media reaction to it.</p>
<p>CNN took the party line. Yay Obama! Bad banks!</p>

<p>MSNBC should just change it&#8217;s name to PRAVDA and get it over with. I think that Soviet State media had more journalistic integrity than these hacks.</p>

<p>The All Barack Channel (ABC News) Declares that the &#8220;Party&#8217;s Over&#8221;</p>

<p>Fox actually questions the fact that this is an intrusion on business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Not that anyone is reporting it!</h4>
<p>The House of Representatives today voted 345-75 to cease all federal funding to ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). This vote came after several videos surfaced of an undercover sting operation, by two filmmakers,  showed employees in several cities helping the undercover &#8220;pimp&#8221; and &#8220;prostitute&#8221; defraud the government.</p>
<p>These videos included assistance with Tax Fraud, Housing Fraud, and smuggling teenage girls age 13 to 15 into the country for prostitution.  This is the scandal that ABC&#8217;s leading news anchor knew nothing about. Apparently that is still true as none of the mainstream media sites (except Fox News) had anything on their web sites as of 3:00 this afternoon.</p>
<p>Another check at 3:30 revealed that MSNBC finally covered the story, way below the huge picture of Ahmadinejad. Only to say that funding had been cut because of scandals and to point out &#8220;Republicans, long critics of the liberal-leaning group that advocates for the poor, led the effort to cut off all<span style="color: #000000;"> federal funds. &#8220;</span></p>
<p>They offered to assist smuggling young girls into the country for prostitution, but no one thinks you&#8217;ll care! Or maybe they just can&#8217;t spin it, so they&#8217;ll ignore it.</p>
<p>Below I have added screencaptures of the different news sites so you can compare what they think is important.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m sure if you are a follower of our show or blog, you have heard about ACORN being filmed trying to help a prostitute and a pimp to work around the system to get housing assistance to start a brothel. Apparently, you are much more well informed than the anchor of ABC&#8217;s World News with Charlie Gibson.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sKDO0YGhhXE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sKDO0YGhhXE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>In this video, Charlie Gibson claims to have not even heard about the ACORN scandal. How sad is this media? These people should never again be allowed to call themselves journalists.</p>
<p>I know millions of people are aware of this story, but how many people who still thing the mainstream media informs them are unaware of this story? When ABC&#8217;s news anchor is unaware of the story, how can people still depend on them for news?</p>
<p>For those who haven&#8217;t seen any of these videos, here is the first one.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9UOL9Jh61S8&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9UOL9Jh61S8&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>ACORN is disgusting. If we assume he is not lying, then his performance as a journalist is simply pathetic and it&#8217;s good that he&#8217;s retiring.</p>
<p>The mainstream media is not trustworthy! We have to stop supporting these people! Turn off the television during the Network news. Stop giving them ratings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was reading an <a title="MSNBC" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32617528/ns/politics-capitol_hill/" target="_blank">article</a> on MSNBC today. (I read the spin of both sides) In it they use the phrase &#8220;extending health coverage to the nearly 50 million Americas who lack it&#8221;.</p>
<p>Now, over the several months of discussion that we have had over health care it has been made very clear that the number of 50 Million is not remotely accurate. Yet they still use this number. I did a search on their site and came up with 155 stories spouting that misinformation.</p>
<p>But, I guess if you&#8217;re selling Obama Memorabilia, you&#8217;re pretty much in the can. And the sad thing is, there are people who still turn to them for news.</p>
