This Blog is created to stress the importance of Peace as an environmental directive. “I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.” – Harry Truman
(I receive no compensation from any entry on this blog.)
He covered a lot of ground. There is time to debate the merits of all he covered, but, one thing is completely clear, he is not a fan of Congress as much as Congress is a fan of his. He also is setting up the agenda of transparency as a defense for his initiatives. I am not one that needs to see every detail that occurs, I trust him.
He is delivering on campaign promises and that is very important. No one should stand in opposition of promises delivered. He was elected with a mandate and it is completely obvious he intends to deliver. There is no reason why the change he promised cannot be delivered to the people of this country by Congress, it enjoys a substantial majority in both houses. It was the result Americans worked toward during the years of Walker Bush. It is time for Congress to move the agenda forward. Failure won't guarantee them a place in victory or history.
I watched the Republican response in the grandstanding performance of McDonald. He stated nothing but rhetoric with no substance or policy. So, what else is new?
Americans have to stop treating their 'Freedom of Speech' as if it is a Trojan Horse.
The Murdoch news network is nearly NOT a news agency at all. That is the truth. It has morphed into 'The Education Channel" for the politically disgruntled. The commentators attempt to try to 'reorient' folks to a new reality so they can abandon the election of 2008 for some idea of Paradise if only they knew what they know now.
It would seem as though if one can only understand what they did wrong when they pulled the lever for President Obama the next time things will be so much better.
It is amazing how desperation works to create ways to 'entertain' the political public.
The thing is this, there is no reason to turn sane people into raving maniacs for the sake of saving a Party of the Past, namely the Republicans. Yet, the FCC allows this to continue. There are ways of having Freedom of Speech in mass media without having deceptive practices.
There is a commentator with FOX named Glenn Beck. He isn't worth the time of day, quite frankly, yet he carries large ratings of viewership. He called President Obama the equivalent of Hugo Chavez. He did it in an attempt to defame the President of the United States of America. One could say he is simply brash and speaking the truth, but, that is not even a remote version of the truth. It is a blatant lie and complete deception.
1 + 1 does not equal 2 here and that can be proven in many, many ways. Including academic methodologies of 'logic.'
The Federal Communication Commission needs to begin a process to eliminate legitimacy from programming that is outside the boundaries of 'news worthy.' The Murdoch Media organization does not care about the quality of journalism, so much as the profitability of it and the influence of it.
Murdoch actively defames people and other news agencies in insidious ways that cause a great deal of damage to the people and entities they attack. That damage is wrongfully absorbed as a learning experience and the nation moves on leaving human wreckage in its wake.
The people targeted in this administration are minorities. The President, Van Jones and the latest Erroll Southers. The methods the Murdoch media uses is chaos. The reason Mr. Jones and Mr. Southers withdrew from assisting this nation for the Obama Administration is because they stated the backlash from some of the media would make it impossible to conduct their jobs.
Murdoch is crippling the USA government. They are doing it deliberately.
As an example in stark contrast is CNN. They accept the 'idea' that good journalism matters. They venture into uncharted territory, but, they do it with moral content. Their most recent venture has been in tracking 'The Stimulus Dollars.' They learned from their venture and they are reporting a very interesting reality. They found out that simply reporting the large amounts of money spent by The Stimulus as opposed to the number of jobs created isn't enough. I am confident they did not venture into these realities expecting to learn what they did either.
This morning in 'Tracking the Stimulus' they found very interesting trends in spending. Rebuilding the USA in supplying monies does make a difference in people's lives. They report the opposing points of view from the very people that hold those views. In reporting on The Stimulus spending they have found that is takes a lot of money to create even one sustainable job.
The point is that professionalism should be upheld by the FCC. Professionalism should be rewarded. Accuracy in reporting has been a bastion of journalism that brought it to the forefront of what is worthy about democracy. By allowing flamboyant 'performers' the legitimacy of the 'name' journalist is to degrade the profession and allow the American people to be not only deceived but also deprived of the expertise needed in difficult times.
Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Southers should be working for this nation and carrying out their responsibilities. President Obama brought some of the best minds in the nation to assist this country to recover from gross neglect and deceptive practices of its past administration. That expertise is being denied this nation by chaotic content that prevents the nation from moving forward. I blame the FCC for the allowable content of Murdoch's directives and their preceived legitimacy.
If one watches FOX's competitors there is a healthy mix of news content with commentary. There is engagement of varying points of view. There is significant expertise as well.
In observing the Murdoch media consistently for days now, it is amazing to realize how degraded and degrading this network actually has become. They embarrass themselves in allowing their quality to be so diminished for THE PURPOSE of creating chaos rather than 'ordered thought.'
Mao Zedong and Hugo Chavez are not the best references a commentator can refer to, but, are quite the opposite. Giving legitimacy to those that would see this nation derailed for their own reasons is suppose to be a function of the USA government in protection of its citizens.
FOX is not about Freedom of Speech. It is about exploitation of fear. That is not journalism, it is not even entertainment. The FCC needs to pick up the slack of defining what 'media agencies' sell to the public and how they sell it.
Comparing Mao and Chevez to modern day democracy as if there are undermining elements at work to destroy the USA is extremely poor logic. There is nothing wrong with looking at other governments and other decades of history and examining how far we have all come and how progress sincerely works. There is however something very wrong when our social fabric is propagandized to believe the public cannot trust themselves in selecting a government of, by and for the people.
The FCC needs to give me a break here. Murdoch's idea of fun isn't healthy for the country or the profession of journalism. The truth is the truth.
The graph above shows the deepest of the national debt reached maximum during mid 2009. It is anticipated to reverse its trend and head back in the direction of the Clinton Surplus of 1999 - 2000.
The Administration of President Obama is much to be excited about. If he ever worried about being a mediocre President, he can put that to rest. By simply keeping the USA from complete economic default when taking office in January 2009, he made his place in history.
The Obama Stimulus undoubted stabilized the economy and stopped its ever growing plummet. Everything he does from this point will be somewhat 'lack luster.'
I could not agree more with him on freezing discretionary government spending at the federal level. The President has launched a new direction for the USA in both transportation and energy. Both those sectors are an important part of our economy. I am very confident there is spending that not only inhibits economic growth, but, works against the new direction the USA is taking.
There is spending from past administrations that is hideous in nature. The landscape has changed. The economic collapse of 2008 has set new priorities for the country. The Budget that has accumulated in 'different times' needs to be reexamined and rethought. It is a wise move and one that will bring about 'current' insight to old ideas.
The President’s Cabinet Reporting to You
When President Obama and his Cabinet took office a year ago, they faced an array of historic challenges: an economy in freefall, job losses averaging almost 700,000 a month, a middle class under assault, two wars and badly frayed global alliances, and a staggering $1.3 trillion budget deficit.
Faced with these unparalleled challenges, the President and his Cabinet got to work. The Administration took bold steps to rescue the country from a potential second Great Depression; to rebuild the economy for the long-term -- so businesses can thrive, the middle class can grow and all our families can be more secure; and to restore America’s leadership in the world, as we wrestle with the global challenges of the 21st Century.
In short videos, members of the President’s Cabinet report back to you on their progress this first year and outline what lies ahead for their departments and agencies to keep America moving forward.
Ford will produce the next-generation Explorer SUV at its Chicago Assembly Plant beginning in the fourth quarter of this year, bringing approximately 1,200 new jobs to the Chicago region
Ford will invest nearly $400 million in its Chicago Assembly and Chicago Stamping plants to launch production of the Explorer
The next-generation Explorer will feature significant fuel economy gains of at least 25 percent over the current-model Explorer thanks to EcoBoost engine technology, six-speed transmissions and a unibody construction
Ford has sold more than 6 million Explorers since the vehicle was originally launched in 1990; Explorer has been America’s best-selling midsize SUV for 15 of the past 19 years...
Alan Mulally, Ford’s CEO, came to the company in 2006 with no experience in the auto market.
Mr. Mulally announced his decision this morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." It was a stunning announcement from a company that actually survived the Great Recession of 2008 without a bailout. The leadership of Ford Motor took advantage of 'cheap money' and filled their coffers full before the 'liquidity' issues hit the global business sector at the end of 2008. Smart folks at Ford Motor make smart decisions and the American worker is a smart choice for any manufacturer looking to upgrade their quality and cost of their products.
A long time. Henry Ford has been an American inventor and innovator. He was born and breed in the USA and his new line of autos are going to be produced in Chicago, Illinois. I can't thank the people at Ford Motor enough. The American Worker has been a proud component of every production line along the way and there is no reason to doubt it will end soon. Thank you very much for keeping the 'Heartland of the USA' in the heart of Ford Motor Company.

Quinn, Daley laud Ford jobs (click title to entry - thank you)
Gov. Pat Quinn today credited the 1,200 new jobs at a Ford assembly plant in Chicago to an automotive tax credit program he signed into law late last year.
Speaking at a news conference alongside Mayor Richard Daley to formally announce the deal, Quinn said the state is providing Ford $20 million in tax incentives in return for a $400 million investment by the company in its Chicago plant.
"This is a strategic investment by the people of Illinois," Quinn said. "In turn it's going to create literally hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity and wages, salaries and new revenue for the state of Illinois."
"We had to compete for this, it wasn't just awarded to Illinois," Quinn added. "We had to show that out state was the best state to do business in... We showed them that Illinois workers and the people of Illinois and our governor are working together for the common good."...
I sincerely never realized how pre-meditated the political message was at FOX before.
Like, WOW.
Their viewers must not want the truth at all. Just that simple.
FOX news want to destabilize the confidence of the people in their country, instill their own preferences into the Legislature and otherwise and then control the content of what transpires.
It is maniacal. There is no other word. It is very pre-meditated.
2009 was tied for the second warmest year in the modern record, a new NASA analysis of global surface temperature shows. The analysis, conducted by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, also shows that in the Southern Hemisphere, 2009 was the warmest year since modern records began in 1880...
I don't consider 27 degrees Fahrenheit very cold for Alaska in January. The article above is from Goddard Institute for Space Studies. One might note the Northern Hemisphere of Earth is where most of the population of humans live. Just coincidence, I suppose.

Remember the VECO Scandal in Alaska? It helped Palin move into the Governor's Seat? Remember that? That was a State issue. Yes?
...This week, NOW goes behind the breaking headlines to shine a bright light on the scandalous connection between VECO and Alaska's old-boy political network. Three state legislators have already been convicted in Federal court for accepting bribes from VECO, and the FBI has video and audio evidence that reveal VECO executives shockingly handing out cash to those legislators in exchange for promises to roll back a tax on the oil industry. And more lawmakers - including Senator Stevens' own son, former Alaska State Senate President Ben Stevens - are being eyed in the growing scandal....
Well, it would seem as though contracts sold during the Bush/Cheney years of Alaskan oil, might be in sincere violation of all kinds of laws and standards.Tell me I should be surprised the federal Interior Department during those years was corrupt.
It would seem the federal government during the Bush/Cheney years forgot about any objections Native Americans might have to their culture and lands. No clue.
Shell faces legal fight over Arctic wells (click title to entry - thank you)
...The legal claim accuses the US's minerals management service, part of the federal interior department, of waving through permission to allow Shell to drill wells on the basis of an "abbreviated and internal review" of the environmental dangers of exploration.
The US portion of the Chukchi Sea, which separates north-western Alaska from north-eastern Siberia, is believed to hold 15bn barrels of recoverable oil and 76tn cubic feet of recoverable natural gas, according to the interior department.
It is also home to endangered bowhead whales, threatened polar bears and rich and varied fish stock. There are further concerns that more drilling in the region will increase warming in the Arctic, which is heating up twice as fast as the rest of the world.
"Shell's drilling brings with it the risk of large oil spills," said Pamela Miller, Alaska programme director for the Northern Alaska Environmental Center. "Chronic spills are a fact of life from oil and gas operations on Alaska's North Slope, where over 6,000 spills have occurred since 1996, and more than 400 of these took place at offshore oil fields. In the icy conditions of the Arctic Ocean, there is no way to effectively clean up spilled oil."
Shell also needs air emission, oil discharge and marine mammal harassment permits before it can extract oil. Last year, the Anglo-Dutch oil group was forced to scale down oil drilling in hte Beaufort Sea off Alaska amid concerns that oil spillages would cause devastation to marine life....
How far does the corruption reach? Good question? Maybe Sarah could recommit to politics by running for mayor of North Slope Borough.
According to the mayor of North Slope Borough, there is no reason to attempt to do anything for Polar Bears because nothing will work anyway. Let me see if I understand that. He doesn't want to do anything that would preserve critical habitat because it isn't going to return sea ice to the Polar Bears, therefore, Polar Bears aren't important at all.
I see.
I suppose the critical habitat might give the Polar Bear a place where it could live exclusively with some barriers to the migration of Grizzly Bears though, so the Polar Bears don't completely lose their genetic basis for existence.
I mean why fight for critical habitat for any cornerstone species and predators? Right? Why have the Endangered Species Laws at all? Hm?
I mean there is no such thing as Human Induced Global Warming and Carbon Dioxide could never be a toxic gas, right?
1. The borough's decision not to join litigation against federal approval of Shell's revised Beaufort Sea exploration plan; and
2. Our opposition to the federal designation of 200,000 square miles of Arctic Ocean and North Slope coastal area as critical habitat for the polar bear.
I decided not to join the recent litigation because Shell had made changes to reduce the size and scope of its exploration plan as a result of our concerns. In addition, the federal government strengthened the permits by stipulating when drilling will have to shut down to accommodate the subsistence whaling season. Am I ready to say "full steam ahead" on offshore development? Absolutely not. I have major concerns about sediment discharge, air quality and other features of the proposed activity, and I am continuing to work with industry and the agencies to improve them. But there were good and consistent reasons for my position on Shell's permits.
My opposition to the polar bear critical habitat designation was a much easier decision. Fish and wildlife listed the polar bear as a threatened species and declared vast areas as critical habitat because global climate change is melting the sea ice, which provides an important platform for polar bear feeding at certain times of year. There is nothing that North Slope residents can do to mitigate the warming of the ocean and disappearance of the sea ice. Restricting our activity in a 200,000-square-mile area will not help the polar bear. It will only make life more difficult for people who live in and use this area. In a worst-case scenario, the designation could restrict subsistence activities, which would do real harm to people on the North Slope without making any difference to the health of the polar bear population. This makes no sense at all, and it understandably upsets people throughout the region....
The American people WANT to be saved from the lobbyists. It is up to the Democrats and President Obama to achieve that. If you ask me? About Massachusetts? I think the voters in the SUBURBS and RURAL AREAS were deceived into believing Brown actually cares about their issues. He wouldn't be against health care reform if he did !

...Nevadans are sounding off on what's going on in Washington D.C. (click title to entry - thank you)
Most of the people Channel 2 News spoke with say they favor some sort of healthcare plan for everyone. But, they add, they think the bill is getting watered down to appease both parties.
Donna March lives in Fallon and says, "I was hopeful at first. But, I think they will have to make a lot of concessions in order to move that through."
The House and Senate passed separate versions of the Healthcare Bill last year.
But, they have to agree on a final version before it goes to President Obama.
"Obviously, Obama is going to try and make the Democrats and Republicans work together," says Jim Benesche of Reno.
Others, like Nate Teel think universal healthcare is a bad idea and it should be up to the individuals to figure out how to provide their own health coverage.
"My wife and I are both in school. We don't make a ton of money but, we manage to buy healthcare monthly," Teel says.
Some of your friends, neighbors and co-workers say it doesn't matter how it's accomplished, healthcare reform has to happen in our country....

US Department of Labor announces nearly $190 million in State Energy Sector Partnership and Training Grants for green jobs
Department's 2010 investment in green jobs edges toward $440 million mark in 3 weeks
WASHINGTON — Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis today announced nearly $190 million in green jobs training grants, as authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). The State Energy Sector Partnership and Training Grants are designed to teach workers the skills required in emerging industries, including energy efficiency and renewable energy. This set of green grants is the third awarded in as many weeks by the U.S. Department of Labor. Less than a month into 2010, the department's investment in this growing area of the job marketplace is close to the $440 million mark.
"These grants will help workers gain access to good jobs, while supporting the sort of statewide energy efficiency strategies that play a crucial role in building the green economy of the 21st century," said Secretary Solis.
Thirty-four awards ranging from approximately $2 million to $6 million each are being made to state workforce investment boards in partnership with their state workforce agencies, local workforce investment boards or regional consortia of boards, and One-Stop Career Center delivery systems. Through the grant awards announced today, program participants will receive the technical and occupational skills necessary to obtain industry recognized credentials...
Frist admits the Republicans don't care about access to health care and David Ploufe arrives to assist the Obama Administration in determining when best the President should spend time with his colleagues in their campaigns.
Thank you, David. I think in Massachusetts, the Democrats missed the climb by Brown and it could have been stemmed if it was found earlier. Of course, Brown plugs into, 'the hometown man' advantage.
In the Massachusetts election, Boston and many other significant populations in all regions of the state DID NOT vote for Brown. I found the fact that Brown did not carry Boston by a large margin more interesting than his win.
Time To Kill Off Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Says Barney Frank (click title to entry - thank you)
By Eric Savitz
Rep. Barney Frank wants to kill off Fannie Mae(FNM) and Freddie Mac(FRE) for good.
At a hearing in Washington today, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee said “the committee will be recommending abolishing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in their current form and coming up with a whole new system of housing finance. That’s the approach, rather than a piecemeal one.”
Fannie and Freddie, the largest U.S. mortgage finance companies, have received $110.6 billion in taxpaper aid since regulators took control of them in September 2008.
So, what would happen to the public holders of FNM and FRE? Nothing good, in the market’s view.
Freddie Mac shares are down 10 cents, or 7.6%, to $1.21.
Fannie Mae shares are down 6 cents, or 5.6%, to $1.01
I believe that will fall in line with the new Consumer Financial Protection Agency. It will remove corrupt practices and will better serve the citizens of the country.
That, and the Senate laying new ground rules for 'The Fed,' will round out a 'movement' if you will, among the current leadership to remove dysfunction and replace it with better regulated entities that may prove to be fool proof.
Nice.
How many people knew they were all working on this issue so long and hard?
None? Few?
Oh.
I wonder why?
Feeling a little disconnected from the work your federal government has been doing?
Feel like nothing was achieved for the last year?
Oh.
Used to 'instant gratification' maybe?
I have absolutely no doubt the Republicans will reject all this as well.
The proposed agency's powers and oversight would go beyond mortgages and real estate. Here's a rundown of what the agency could do, who's for and against it, and how it might affect you.
By Kenneth R. Harney
August 2, 2009
Reporting from Washington - Healthcare reform has drawn most of the attention on Capitol Hill lately, but for home buyers, sellers and mortgage applicants, the legislative ballgame will really get underway in September, when Congress begins serious work on the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency.
Legislation creating the agency is pending in the House, pushed by Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who is its principal author. The Obama administration had outlined a similar plan at the end of June and considers passage of a bill a priority.
Why should you care? What might the agency do for you -- or to you? Here's a quick overview:
To begin with, be aware that the agency's powers and oversight would extend far beyond mortgages and real estate -- into all credit cards, debit cards, consumer loans, payday loans, credit reporting agencies, debt collection, stored-value cards and even investment advisory and financial advisory services, to name only part of the list.
It would have the authority to alter long-common practices that nettle consumers, such as mandatory arbitration clauses in the fine print of contracts that automatically send business-consumer disputes to arbitrators rather than to courts. The agency could ban or limit such clauses in specific products if they are shown to tilt against consumers' interests.
The agency would write the user-safety rules for virtually all consumer financial products and would have the legal firepower to levy huge fines -- tens of thousands of dollars a day per violation in some cases -- and prosecute lenders, brokers and others who break the rules.
The agency would be the dominant federal consumer protector in all home real estate settlements. It would regulate "affiliated" title, escrow and financing businesses connected with realty firms and builders. It would oversee equal credit opportunity and fair housing, and would set standards for all mortgage offerings, whether from the biggest national banks or the smallest local brokers. Generally it wouldn't seek outright bans on mortgage products that carry elevated risks -- interest-only loans, for instance -- but would require that lenders restrict such mortgages to well-informed applicants who can document that they understand the risks and can afford the payments.
Within its first year, the agency would be tasked with creating consumer-friendly, uniform disclosures for all home purchase and financing transactions, starting with a combined "good-faith estimates" and truth-in-lending statement....
This is a bipedal robot. It is a work of interesting design. It took funding, money, to create this robot. I am not saying the robot is a bad entity. That is not the point. But, if a corporation can remove the idea of 'human speech' to super impose it on a solid entity such as money, what is to say that can't be done elsewhere?
The Robert's Court literally stated that a 'legal entity' called a corporation has a 'form of speech' called money. Money is a legal issue of the USA Treasury, Federal Reserve.
The traditional definition of the Supreme Court to 'speech' has been interpreted as a human capacity. Art, film, protest, burning flags and speech itself is all a method of human expression. And there is a limit on that expression. One cannot walk into a theater and yell fire, okay?
What the Robert's Court did was to remove the 'human' aspect of speech and replaced it with 'legal tender' used in economic trade in the market place. That is incompetent. A corporation is a legal entity no different than money is. That does not mean is has automatic rights under the USA Constitution. The USA Constitution was written to protect people, not 'legal entities' such as paper money or its capacity.
In expressing my right to Freedom of Speech I can burn a dollar bill or many dollar bills in varying denominations. If that money is mine, I have a right to do that. Now, that the Robert's Court has made money a protected entity within the capacity of the USA Constitution can I go to jail in my protest of burning money because it has a legal right equal to mine?
The Robert's Court has opened Pandora's Box here and they don't even know it, nor do they care.
A Corporation is NOT born with rights under the USA Consitution. No one gives birth to a corporation. It is a legal instrument generated by people to gain rights under economic laws of the USA.
Let me put that again.
A CORPORATION IS A LEGAL INSTRUMENT GENERATED BY PEOPLE TO GAIN RIGHTS/ADVANTAGE UNDER ECONOMIC LAWS.
It has no rights equivalent to a citizen until this hideous decision stripping the AMERICAN CITIZEN of protections from the capacity of corporations within the market place for political gaming.
The recent decision of the Robert's Court is incompetent. It dehumanizes the American citizen and victimizes them reducing their capacity of Freedom of Speech to an economic commodity within the political environment of the American Social Fabric.
The Robert's Court has oppressed the rights of human citizens while elevating the rights of the 'legal tender/instruments' the people have invented to facilitate its economy.
The Robert's Court has oppressed the rights of human citizens in Freedom of Speech and Equal Rights because in order for equality to occur it has to be subsidized to facilitate the Freedom of Speech provided by the USA Constitution of its citizens.
The heinous oppression by The Robert's Court assaults Civil Rights and makes humans compete for Equality against its own governmental instruments. It removes the ability of its citizens to control their own legal instruments. Is that important? Is that dangerous? Yes. Because it 'favors' legal rights of legal instruments over the capacity of citizens to express themselves.
Money should not be awarded civil rights. And it gets more ludicrous when one realizes Gay Marriage isn't even recognized as an equality issue. I mean I don't know else it is. Either Gay Couples are human beings with the same rights as all citizens or they aren't?
The Robert's Court is dangerously incompetent and there needs to be a solution formulated.
The Robert's Court has even handicapped the rights of human citizens because they don't limit the capacity of corporations in the monetary amounts it can spend while there are limits on human speech. The decision is ridiculous and out of control to its corruption of our society.
iFOX NEWS 'surrogates' what they call 'fair and balanced.' Their surrogates are their own people. Fair and balanced implies there is 'equal time' as allowed by law for a person to address subjects FOX reports on.
First it has to be established that the Murdoch network is actually reporting on something other than a movement they have generated. A movement generated in large part by their 'talk radio' networks. Okay?
Being that movement is a political entity in their commentary, it is actually an editorial. Editorials can ask for 'equal time.' Equal time WITHOUT a surrogate.
What O'Reilly is doing is using the 'equal time' concept as a methodology to deception. He states his network allows equal time to coverage of a political event. However, that equal time is surrogated by the same entity making the editorial commentary in the first place, so in the truest sense of the word, it is not equal time, but, simply deception to that fact.
I don't understand why this is such an issue either. It is completely obvious they have no intention of allowing equal time by opposing parties. They 'self define' that capacity and deny access. That is all about control. The Murdoch media networks aren't fair and balanced, they are controlled to ACHIEVE a specific outcome. It is probably. No. It is definitely litigable. But, that is the last comment about FOX on this blog.
They are hate mongers.
Probably, no definately dangerous hate mongers. Guns? At town meetings?
Just that simple.
I mean the really funny part about what Beck said regarding Van Jones is just ludicrous. To use Mr. Jones as an example, he never appeared on any of the shows where he was being stigmatized and defamed. And that is what Beck is doing to people. He is defaming them. His comment was that he didn't want Jones to quit, but, simply to admit exactly the 'type' of person he was, a communist, a 911 truther, and how did he get so close to the President? That is slander. I don't know why Beck isn't in court over this stuff?
... I decided to blog the network. (Click title to entry - thank you)
Murdoch has instructed his network to distract the electorate of 2010 in order to exert control. My observation of their body language Guru above are at the new blog.
The use of this 'body language' nonsense is 'system' through the Murdoch media. When Senator Elect Brown went to Capital Hill, which I thought inappropriate, the female commentator in the morning showed a 'clip' of Brown meeting Senator Kerry. The segment was very touching as they also spoke of a friendship Senator Kerry had made with the Late Ted Kennedy. Well, when the female anchor at FOX NEWS got finished with 'interpreting' the clip, Senator Kerry was made out to be a 'caricature' of his own body language as perscribed by Murdoch.
This is a pre-mediated attach on the Democrat Party in a methodology of hate.It is also systemic through the network. Body language isn't the only assault either.
