The media is not biased to the left. Its only been that way because of the current administration. The media's job is to report things, good and bad. The media does it. FOX News is horribly biased because they only show it from the right side and call the media in general biased while lying about themselves with the slogan "fair and balanced".

CNN has conservative talk show hosts who have the conservative point of view. FOX News only has that actor Colmes and is the only reputed "liberal" on that entire network.

Oh, and yes, I do watch FOX News, CNN, ABC News and the BBC.

Back in the Clinton administration, the media had a bit of a slant to the right. Even I could tell this and I WASN'T EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL.

So all of you whining conservatives who call liberals "bleeding hearts", check yourself before you open your mouths...you are much more hypocritical than you think.

This isn't a racial comment. I have a question about consistency.

Don Imus is white, his victims were black.

Vick is black, his victims were not white. They are dogs. Dogs who would lick Vick's hand before dying from a fight he caused them to suffer.

They are animals which most people view as friends to all. Trusting without condition and dependent on the kindness of people.

In the case of Don Imus, it was just as likely that his victims would commit the same offense. Not so with the dogs.

If the crusade with Sharpton is real, shouldn't he be equally and publiclly demanding of Vick for his offense?

I feel like the people we have appointed to govern us are taking our freedom away. Terrorism has become an excuse to impose more and more restraint on the population. I understand that we need to protect ourselves, but at what cost?

Chris Cuomo, the Good Morning America breakfast show anchor, interviewing Gerry McCann:

"Your story is pretty puzzling - it's tough to understand why you and your wife came to leave your children to go to dinner," Cuomo asserted, remarking that no American parent would "leave their kids in that way".

I ask you. How stupid is that? The first part of his comment was prefectly sensible and valid.... but let's get real. Is this man SERIOUSLY trying to tell us that NO American parents have ever been negligent?

It was called the Salmon brothers building or world trade center building #7
The twin towers were building #1 and #2 and yes there were other buildings 3,4,5,6, no they did not all collapse. just burned under tons of ruble. They did not all fall down at free fall speed like WTC #7
Please look into this for Christ sakes, How can you call people wack jobs when you have no clue what they are talking about?
Stop watching so much TV, it rots your brain.

The twin towers and than there is the mysterious collapse of world trade center building #7
A 47 story skyscraper that fell into it's own foot print in a whopping 6.5 seconds. That's right free fall speed.

I am not going to keep posting the links for you. Please just look into it. The truth is self evident.

Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev criticized the United States, and current President George W. Bush in particular, on Friday for sowing disorder across the world by seeking to build an empire.

Gorbachev, who presided over the break-up of the Soviet Union, said Washington had sought to build an empire after the Cold War ended but had failed to understand the changing world.

----------

I'd say, after the dismal failure of how American handled 911 along with nation building, that Gorbachev is right on the money.

(Failure is defined as 'failing to preform.' In the wake of two failed wars and the confusing nature of the war on terror, it appears that failure is too kind a word. Clusterphuk is more like it.)

Peace

Jim

Just read that one of Vick's co-defendants has accepted a plea deal. I'm sure part of his plea is giving up Vick. Good news for justice in America!

and dont give me this bs about innocent until proven guilty,u know why,because when ur rich and famous the judicial system in this country fails to do justice every time.absolutly every piece of evidence u can dream of was against oj simpson but he got off,why because he was rich and famous.does that mean we woud be ok if he started to do commercials and tv apperances,of course not,because any 1 with an iq over 10 knows he did it.because the justice system fails when it comes to celebrity,and u have this much evidence against u,someone needs to hold them responsible because we know the jury wont.if he is found not gulity,having him play is the same as saying ur allright with oj doing orange juice commercials,after all the jury said not guilty right.but no company will touch him,why?and dont bring up the duke case,because there was NO evidence in that hoax,not the same here ,of course black people will say this is about race,will they celebrate like they did when oj got off on murder?

Will the terror faction in WallSt/Washington stage another event to blame on Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, etc? On Feb 1st 2007, former national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski told the Senate that a US capitalist-fascist imperialist attack on Iran would be justified by the bourgeois state and media by “accusations of Iranian responsibility for the failure [of US policy in Iraq], then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the US blamed on Iran, culminating in a ‘defensive’ US military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.” ... ... A PROVOCATION? A TERRORIST ACT IN THE US BLAMED ON IRAN? Hmmm... another Reichstag fire by the treason-at-the-top plantation owners of AmeriKa?

I mean when you look at the list, the countries infront of us only have 30 million people while we have 300million. I do agree we need a better healthcare. But is it really as bad as Michael Moore wants me to think it is.
