News & Events - July 2007

I am admittedly all over the board. I can be left or right depending on the issue and I make up my own mind based on the facts and how it will affect me.

Most media outlets who claim to be neutral are obviously biased. I see it on both sides.

Most of the major newspapers are liberal.

The big three TV news stations are liberal.

CNN is liberal.

NPR is liberal.

Fox is conservative.

Talk radio is conservative.

I know that opinions will vary based on every persons individual thoughts on the subject.

But are almost all medias now very obviously left or right?

Is there a truly neutral news source where the employees are not obviously biased?


I'm sure that there are those of you who feel FOX is not conservative and those who feel that NPR is not liberal. But if you stand back from your political views for a minute and really look at how often they criticize one side over the other it becomes clear.

facts are, doctors wanted an investigation because the pattern of 3 shots to the forehead was inside 2 inches. according to the doctors, the shots had to be fired from less than 10 yards away to keep this tight of a pattern from an m-16. obviously this was not simply mistaken identity friendly fire from just 10 yards away. so if it wasn't ordered, why the intitial cover up. why the executive privilege claim when bush administration was questioned on the matter. there is a congressional hearing on the subject this week. stay tuned.

Here we go again, the same white people that said imus should not be fired for something the whole world knew he did and for the duke race case for somewhere we knew for sure they were. They both received a wild and rabid presumption of innocence. I saw a bunch of attacks on al sharpton and on black people in general for the duke case. Without a single hint of irony, Michael vick (at least a year before a trial ) is already convicted. Like o.j. the white public wants the conviction to be cemented prior to the evidence, then scream jury nullification when the evidence doesn't support the case. The most important thing I find, is not whether he is innocent or not but what a firestorm is already created, how its about black athletes in general and a bunch of other things that aren't allowed to happen for white suspects. Did the duke case get spread to white athletes or imus to white broadcasters. I just want white people to remember next time al sharpton complains that it's like u

But block certain people, myself included for responding? Can he not understand, that the reason most of us feel such hostility towards them is simply for the fact that they neglected their children! Now, I'm not being rude, using offensive terms, insulting anyone etc, etc, I am just stating what is a fact. Little children NEED protecting.

I am a mother of an 11 year old lad, and anything to do with children going missing really hits home with me, thats why i feel so passionately about what I believe to be a wrong doing towards Madeleine, Amelie and Sean.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Before Boise State running back Ian Johnson married the girl he proposed to on national television, the couple prayed to end prejudice.

Johnson, who is black, has said he received phone calls and about 30 letters, including personal threats from people who objected to his plans to marry his white fiancee. Johnson has not described the threats, and it is unclear where they came from.

Two Unreleased photographs

Number 1 . This is the patio entrance to the Flat and the paved Garden area below. Remember these flats are effectively built back to front so if you were stood on that Patio you would be looking over the hedges and walls towards the Ocean Club complex. So the paved garden area in the photograh is the TRUE back garden for the apartment.

That gate to the right below the steps leads onto the steet.

Number 2 . This is looking at the side of the flat, the arch on the left can also be seen in the first photograph and is where the patio area is. Then there are three windows along the side. The line of trees running up the road enclose the parking lot behind Madelein's bedroom window and front door to the apartment.

I think this photograph shows how exposed and isolated that ground floor flat 5A actually is.

It doesn't ring true - the stories we are hearing at the moment. Is the media just stirring for a laugh ?

and I noticed that my answer to the question "should the McCann's be prosecuted for leaving the children unattended" has reveived two thumbs downs.

My answer was "yes, its child neglect" which leaving kiddies unattended whilst the parents go out drinking, most obviously is!

What I want to know is this, was I given the thumbs down because I dared to say (what thousands of others are also saying)? or is it because the people giving the thumbs down, think its ok to leave vulnerable babies alone, and go out drinking?

And Kate wasn't really keen on the idea but he managed to convince her it was ok. Once they done it once or twice the both relaxed until that fateful night.

Kate looks racked with guilt - the worst kind too. The guilt of a mother who wasn't there when her children needed her. Whereas Gerry just looks like a man who really beleives he has done nothing wrong and it is a situation he can 'fix'.

I just get the feeling Gerry is the driving force behind the whole sorry event - before and after. Is he now trying to prove to Kate he wasn't wrong and he will get her back by flying to the States and doind all other kinds of pointless things?

Terrorist from Taiwan blew up the Summer Palace?

The leader of the terrorist had been photographed 10 years earlier shaking hands with the president of Taiwan after an independence conference. Taiwan states that they had no involvement.

Beijing then finds credible evidence that there was collusion between the terrorist leader and the current president of Taiwan.

China declares Taiwan to be a harborer of WMD's, a terrorist state and invades.

What do you thinkk should happen to the worthless morons who did this??

"A brave mongrel was twice shot in the head by callous thugs - with a crossbow. Amazingly, the friendly brindle mongrel, named Beau by nurses at the veterinary surgery, survived the vicious attack which left two crossbow bolts embedded in her skull. It is thought Beau, who has only just been taken out of intensive care after a major two-hour operation, was fired at by two disgusting yobs at point blank range."

This organisation is a youth movement run by the Kremlin that has become a central part of Russian political life. Nashi's annual camp, 200 miles outside Moscow, is attended by 10,000 uniformed youngsters and involves two weeks of lectures and physical fitness. Sex is encouraged, and condoms are nowhere on sale.

"Remember the mammoths, say the clean-cut organisers at the youth camp's mass wedding. "They became extinct because they did not have enough sex. That must not happen to Russia". Obediently, couples move to a special section of dormitory tents arranged in a heart-shape and called the Love Oasis, where they can start procreating for the motherland.
