FOX - Propaganda on Steroids

Two letters have been released by Media Matters in the last few days from Fox executives to push propaganda through their cable "news" station. The first instructed all individuals to call the public option the Govn't option because it turned people against in. Today, a new revelation came out that:

FOX NEWS GETS INSTRUCTIONS ON CLIMATE TALK.... About a year ago, Fox News correspondent Wendell Goler delivered a live report from Copenhagen and told viewers the truth. The United Nations' World Meteorological Organization, Goler said, had announced that that 2000-2009 was "on track to be the warmest [decade] on record."

Not quite 15 minutes later, another memo was sent by Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Sammon.

In the midst of global climate change talks last December, a top Fox News official sent an email questioning the "veracity of climate change data" and ordering the network's journalists to "refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question." [...]

Today, Alternet also wrote an article showing evidence watching Fox makes you stupid. Their last paragraph hit the nail on the head.

"This is not an isolated review of Fox’s performance. It has been corroborated time and time again. The fact that Fox News is so blatantly dishonest, and the effects of that dishonesty have become ingrained in an electorate that has been been purposefully deceived, needs to be made known to every American. Our democracy cannot function if voters are making choices based on lies. We have the evidence that Fox is tilting the scales and we must now make certain its corporate owners do not get away with it."

At what point do they lose their press credentials?

Republican's Are Trying to Sabotage The Economic Recovery

It's now blatantly obvious Republicans have chosen to try to sabotage an economy recovery in the hopes to take back the Senate or even the Presidency. It began with the them holding the same political stance as the anti-American worker lobbying group, The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and China and the E.U. and it's ending with them now using the unemployed as a tool during the holiday season.

"Without extended benefits, Virginia would have had 8,014 fewer jobs as of September 2010, and failure to act to extend benefits again could cost the state 5,261 jobs by the end of next year.

Benefits for the jobless are particularly important during the holiday season. In addition to providing support for families when they need it most, the positive effects of the program on the economy are likely to be greater since American families tend to spend more during the holiday season. In December alone, two million Americans will lose their coverage if Congress fails to act, the report finds."

Veto Override Failed

For anyone wondering who's side the modern day Republicans stand, this article should leave little doubt. Basically, what happened is Congress tried by a secret vote to override Obama's veto on a bill that would give retroactive immunity to fraudulent banking activity.

Quantitative Easing - QE2

So, now that the Fed has announced QE2, there's been quite a stir.

Sarah Palin, China, the European Union, Greenspan and about 20 conservative columnists have come out against it.

The result of QE2 would be a lower priced currency. This would have the affect of increasing domestic production and intern possibly increasing the working class wages (that means you blue collar workers).

So, explain to me again, why QE2 is such a bad thing?

And if Palin, Greenspan and the right wing are siding with China and the European Union you've got to wonder where their loyalty lies.

Fox(Pulse), Gallup and Rasmussen Polling Way Off

Mark Blumenthal calculated the actual outcome was around +6R or +7R meaning Rasmussen, Fox(Pulse-Also Rasmussen) and Gallup were around +6R, +7R and +9R off.

Nate Silver of the blog Fivethirtyeight at the NYT stated Rasmussen on average had a +4R bias on the Congressional and Senate races.

Knowing all of this, I'd like to know what the actual Presidential approval ratings are since they use the LV model screening that's been proven to be way off.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Selfishness disguised as liberty. Power wearing a mask of freedom. Free trade tearing our working class apart hidden under the facade of patriotism.

That's what the Chamber stands for.

Election Day!

Now lets see what's on peoples minds on Google hot trends.

The War on America Has Begun

The war on America has begun. Koch and The Chamber of Commerce have fired the first shots. The Oligarchs push to lower our standard of living will continue until anyone short of a billionaire will no longer have a say.

Selfishness disguised as liberty. Power wearing a mask of freedom. Free trade tearing our working class apart hidden under the facade of patriotism.

Anyone who gives a damn needs to repudiate these libertarian ideas. Libertarians are the true enemies of this country.

They don't want our Constitution. They hate our laws. They hate the idea of the United States.

Obama on The Daily Show

It seems traditional journalists are all wee weed up about Obama choosing nontraditional methods to get his message out to voters.

I'll let you in on a little secret traditionalists...your influence is waning.

After hearing David Gregory give loaded question after loaded questions to Meeks and Crist and then give Rubio a tongue bath makes it more than apparent modern day "newsmakers" are less interested in pushing for real answers from someone and more interested in advancing their own careers.

Times change. Blogs, tweets, emails and daytime and late night television is where a large percentage of individuals get their info from, particularly the younger groups. The President is smart to use these as its the youth that are going to be driving our economy in the future.

For those that missed it, the full episode can be viewed HERE @ The Daily Show's Web site.

I'll see you all on the mall on Saturday!

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is Un-American

I think the idea of the Chamber of Commerce having sessions with the Chinese on how to outsource American jobs should terrify every American and put into question who the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is loyal to. America as a country or the bottom line of companies that outsource.

I think most of us here know the answer but I don't think it's gotten through every Americans head that when members pay the U.S. Chamber of Commerce dues, those dues are expected to increase their bottom line. If that increase consists of shipping manufacturing and customer service overseas for the owners of the U.S. companies to compete with foreign companies then that's what they are fighting for.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce does not represent the U.S. worker in the least bit and hopefully Americans will come to realize that sooner rather than later.

Evidence of Koch Funding Tea Party Movement

If there was any doubt of the Koch's funding of the tea parties, this should put an end to that.

There's a Time For Everything

There’s a time to push for progressive agenda’s and there’s a time to get as many Dems elected as possible to facilitate the means to allow for debating progressive legislation in the House committees.

My opinion is now is the time to get as many Dems elected as possible to ensure Dems hold the House and maintain control of the committees.

Fire away at me now.
