Leave it to FOX News to manufacturer whatever they want to pass off as facts. Media Matters has done an in-depth report on Fox’s continued lies about Obama and the oil spill. This one really sticks out at me: Kilmeade: There are “problems” with BP giving “$750 million to a campaign like they did to […]
The big international news over the holiday weekend was Israel raiding a Turkish Flotilla that was delivering humanitarian aide to Gaza. This of course has become a really big story, resulting in enormous pressure on the U.S. to walk that fine line between two allies. The Obama administration isn’t jumping to any conclusions, rightfully so, […]
It took the President himself going after Mitch McConnell, but finally he has some of his nominees confirmed: The Senate confirmed a huge group of administration nominees on Thursday, following a tense exchange between President Barack Obama and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). At a White House meeting with bipartisan congressional leaders on Tuesday, […]
Watching MSNBC this morning I haven’t seen any mention of Freedom Works, the force behind the Tea Party, urging President Obama and Congress to not help out Haiti. It’s amazing to think about. Whenever there is any news about the tea party, the mainstream media is like a crowd trying to enter Wal-Mart on black […]
Teabaggers are descending upon Capital Hill: Thousands of Tea Party activists descended on Washington Thursday to protest the trillion dollar health care bill and government spending, holding signs protesting Barack Obama’s agenda while aiming chants of “you work for us” at the Capitol building. . The gathering was organized by local Tea Party groups around […]
During the entire White House/Fox News feud FOX decided to bolster about their “soaring ratings”. This meme was then picked up by a lot of talking heads in the mainstream media. Media Matters decided to go to the data and see exactly what “soar” meant to FOX: No matter how many times reporters and pundits […]
Maybe he shouldn’t have spent so much trying to gobble up our media then: Murdoch, who bought The Wall Street Journal and its parent company Dow Jones & Co in 2007, said online advertising, which most U.S. publishers hope will offset ad revenue declines at their print divisions, will not cover their costs. “People reading […]
And this time we aren’t talking about John McCain, but rather his running mate: No wonder GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin harbors such hostility toward the mainstream media: her staff imposes limits on her access to it. During a fundraiser here that raised $800,000 last night, Palin admitted that her aides often dissuade her […]
They keep getting nastier and nastier: Worse, Palin’s routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric’s questions for her “less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media.” At that, Palin […]
Keith Olbermann did a great report last night on McCain’s top aides and their strong ties to Enron. I started talking about these connections back in March, it’s nice to see the mainstream media start to pick up on it, as it’s an important issue that needs brought up during the general election.
