Article by missy on July 22nd, 2008 at 10:24 am Team McCain writes: It’s pretty obvious that the media has a bizarre fascination with Barack Obama. Some may even say it’s a love affair. We want you to be the judge. We’ve compiled two videos of the more outrageous moments of this not so secret love affair. Pot/kettle, anyone? It’s pretty obvious that the media has a bizarre fascination with Barack Obama. McCain’s [...]
Article by John on October 30th, 2007 at 10:03 am Gravel Supporters Nationwide, If you live within driving distance of Philadelphia, you can help former Senator and current Democratic Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel protest MSNBC’s arbitrary decision to exclude him from the Democratic debate it will be hosting tonight at Drexel University. After originally making arrangements to include all the Democratic candidates, MSNBC (owned by General [...]
Article by Rich on August 22nd, 2007 at 12:51 pm It's sad that we have to point this out to people, but corporations now function as defacto governments, manipulating public thought and influencing political figures. Fox news is one of their most obvious propanganda outlets. Robert Greenwald's latest project points out how they have been helping build the case for going to war with Iran. Dear ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN,"My station was [...]
Article by Rich on August 5th, 2007 at 11:45 am Interesting, potentially troubling Church/State separation story from Oxy-abuse addled Appalachia: The Community Church of Manchester is leading the way through “Court Watch,” a program in which volunteers attend court hearings to monitor judges overseeing drug-related cases. “It’s kind of a new position and very controversial,” said Becknell, who also runs his church’s local Christian television station. “A lot of churches shun getting involved in [...]
Article by Rich on November 11th, 2006 at 1:08 pm Sorry I’ve been so distracted…. …I’m a little overjoyed at this point. Y’know what I mean? I can’t believe things turned out the way they did. It seems like the last six years have one depressing revelation after another. The last two were especially f**king bleak. We saw the dissolution of nearly everything that made America great. The death of Habeas Corpus and the utter indifference towards it by the Generican people seemed to sound the death-knell for Democracy and individual freedom in my eyes. But now, despite widespread indy-grapevine reports of voter tampering, harassment and the apparent support of the neocon agenda on the part of the mainstream corporate media, the Democrats have won the Senate, House and many Governorships. Our spoiled, middle-aged fratboy and the oily businessmen who pull his strings now have something that they rarely encounter – accountability. But that says maybe. We’ll have to see what the Dems are capable of pulling off and how much they’re willing to stand up to the insanity of this state/corporate juggernaut that’s bearing down on apocalypse. But it seems like every aspect of the post-911 consensus reality is being questioned. Rummy’s gone to nearly unanimous approval. Bolton’s set to get a rabies shot and perhaps put down. Really – making that man ambassador to the UN is like making Adolf Eichmann a diplomat to Israel. But now everyone seems to see that. I saw a MSNBC (owned by General Electric) poll that had 87% (as of Friday) think that Bush should be impeached.  Listen to that, madam speaker. Despite what you said on 60 Minutes, listen to the voice of the people. You have a mandate. Not a fake, 2% mandate like Georgie in ’04, but a resounding ass-wuppin’ of the neocon right. We wouldn’t have voted you guys in if we didn’t think you’re capable of it. Continue reading Celebration Weekend

Snip: Columbus, Ohio’s voting machines were so bad, they managed also to take down the county’s phone system under the crush of calls that resulted. Denver has wait times of up to [...]
Article by Rich on November 7th, 2006 at 6:19 pm ….ABC News reports that its exit polls — in a “preliminary” finding — find high disdain for Bush. Six in 10 voice disapproval, with two-thirds of that number “strongly” opposed. Editor and Publisher’s Blogging the Election Blackwell Loses Ohio! MSNBC is calling the Ohio governor’s race in favor of Ted Strickland. The nefarious Ken Blackwell, President Bush’s fixer in the 2004 presidential, looks to [...] | Local TV Connect with Facebook |
