You get both cnn and fox without a cable box. Thats the way it is. Not msnbc.
You are the one that harped on the wealth issue...............I stuck with that. But you are too dense to pick up the point --- so I will spell it out for you: There are people who can not watch ANY of them because they can not afford cable.
As to your hissy fit over no MSNBC for the "poor" Well, your claim only applies to you, not to everyone. Not where I live, because Comcast is not available. Please note, MSNBC was involved in the decision, as has been pointed out to you.

I don't know who your cable provider is but on Comcast in Sussex County you don't need a box to get get MSNBC. I only recently got a box but I was receiving MSNBC without it. It has only been in the past year or so that due to demand Fox News came off the upper tier and was put on basic.

You are pulling an Olbermann Lavitakus! You conveniently leave out that Fox News is available on the upper tiers of a lot of cable and satellite services while MSNBC is usually included in even the most basic packages on those same providers thus giving MSNBC potentially more viewers than Fox News. Given that fact it makes Fox News numbers even more impressive. If you are too poor to get MSNBC then your not getting Fox News either.

If we have a responsible government that is watching out for the rights of all of the people then it is not necessary for every American citizen to have access to any news station. All American citizens rights should be protected by our Constitution, it should not be necessary for us to critique our government 24 hours a day. Our freedoms should be automatically protected. We the people should feel comfortable with our government and the people that we have elected to run it. We should not be living in fear that these people are on a path to destroy us. If a majority of those elected officials feel that the people in charge are destroying our way of life than they have the authority to remove them. I believe in America and I believe that there will always be those who "are not" willing to accept anything but what is the best for our country and its people. We will never have a socialistic form of government because we are to strong willed to allow anything like that to happen to our "Great Nation".

I didn't want to start a new thread so:
Newsweek Gets Flood of Anti-Biden Letters, Publishes None of Them
It's bad enough that the new design of Newsweek came with blatant cover-story campaigning for Joe Biden. Then in the next edition, when it was time for Letters to the Editor, Newsweek reported half the letters were negative. Was an anti-Biden letter published? No.

Niether of these two are genuinly conservative, ptg. If you really believe that they are then I must question how you view conservatism. Heck, they don't even fight the good fight. They just make a bunch of noise, really.
Granted, that is what they are being endorsedfor but really...come on.

In the spirit of our illegal aliens , I'm going to do work no journalist seems to want to do....
Reporting today on Charlie Rangle , powerful Republican representative from Harlem, who has been found to have under-reported income and assets from various holdings. The taxes were paid without interest or penalty but he still has to face the scrutiny of the House Ethics Committee, just like his Republican collegue, Chris Dodd [who got a sweetheart mortgage deal] had to face a Senate ethics committee -who threw the charges out [wink, wink, nudge , nudge].
The recent nomination of another key Republican to be on the Trade Committee might be in doubt since he owes $10,000 in back taxes. Oops, no story , he paid up when it was brought to his attention. How redeeming...
Just a minute , folks, the switchboard is lighting up. People say I have the party labels wrong on these events.
Oh.
Cancel the press run.
Nothing to see here.
Sports and weather next.

Aware that the MSM is highly biased toward Obama and the Democrats, the fact that ABC news is quartered in the White House in order to advance Obama's health care reform should be a matter of concern to all Americans regardless of party affiliation. If that's not bad enough, ABC and the WH is not allowing any challenge from other news organizations nor will they allow any opposing opinions or debate from other health care experts. Furthermore, they will not allow any advertisements with opposing views. Just like the "Global warming hype", legitimate debate is closed. This is a dream come true for Josef Goebbels were he alive today. Seal off all opposition, debate, or hard questions. An outrage to say the very least.
If you are hungry, you're not that interested in freedom of the press. If you are impoverished, you are interested in keeping yourself warm against the cold, and it's harder to think in Jeffersonian rights-of-man terms. Once those first two freedoms are secured, the others tend to follow. It's a very conservative argument that without order, nothing else is possible. Order can only come from a strong central government and that is what President Obama is accomplishing.

SEIU is one of the most nasty, shady and outright evil unions around.
They have even screwed over their own employees in the past. Ironically, what they did is tried to keep their own employees from unionizing. How?
There is a union for "union organizers". Union Organizers that were employed by SEIU wanted certain benefits (e.g. getting paid for overtime). Those folks tried to bring in their own union to represent them against SEIU. SEIU applied their OWN union busting tactics against its own employees and then celebrated how they basically screwed their own employees.

In another topic in this forum (Crowd civil at Castle health care town hall) everything was hunky dory. That's a tribute to Delawarians or was the meeting pre-packed with Dem committee people. The lead statement was that it was "civil." Civil? Not so civil elsewhre in America. One must ask: "Why is the Mainstream Media (MSM) refusing to cover the unprecedented campaign of intimidation, and violence that is being waged by allies of Barack Hussein Obama against patriotic Americans opposing the government's Marxist takeover of our health care system?"
Could it be that the MSM is marching in lock-step behind these goons... providing them with political cover... essentially supporting the reprehensible harassment, intimidation and even physical assault they are perpetrating against patriotic Americans who oppose ObamaCare?
At a Tampa, FL, town hall, Randy Arthur was angry when he found out that members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) were allowed to sneak in early and fill up most of the seats. Arthur and his wife insisted that they should be allowed to attend the public meeting.
For those efforts, Arthur had his shirt ripped apart, his chest scratched and he was thrown against a wall by a union thug.
The worst act of violence to date was committed by SEIU members - wearing tee-shirts showing their union affiliation - at a town hall meeting in St. Louis, Missouri held by Congressman Russ Carnahan. Apparently ACORN members were also present in significant numbers.
A conservative African-American man named Kenneth Gladney was offering small flags to those at the St. Louis Town Hall. He was viciously attacked by SEIU thugs.
Here's how Gladney's attorney, Robert Brown, describes what happened:
"Kenneth was approached by an SEIU representative as Kenneth was handing out 'Don't Tread on Me' flags to other conservatives. ... The SEIU representative demanded to know why a black man was handing out these flags. The SEIU member used a racial slur against Kenneth, [and] then punched him in the face. Kenneth fell to the ground. Another SEIU member yelled racial epithets at Kenneth as he kicked him in the head and back. Kenneth was also brutally attacked by one other male SEIU member and an unidentified woman."
In light of the above events, a reasonable person cannot help but ask the following question:
Why is the MSM purposefully and deceptively reporting that peaceful protestors, patriotic Americans who are spontaneously exercising their First Amendment rights, are part of some organized mob and, at the same time, ignoring the reprehensible actions of actual organized and violent mobs against these patriotic Americans?
One thing is certain, as patriotic Americans, we should not let the MSM get away with it. We need to call them on the carpet. We need to demand that they stop distorting and start reporting. Tell the them that a legitimate media would fully investigate whether there is a connection between the unspeakable acts of thuggery being committed by SEIU members and other Obama allies against patriotic American citizens that oppose ObamaCare and the White House. Tell them that average citizens who are engaging in peaceful and largely spontaneous protests against the evils of ObamaCare are not organized and angry mobs. Tell them that a fair-and-balanced media is not the stooge or lackey of any Presidential Administration or a political party. In short, tell them to stop distorting and start reporting when it comes to ObamaCare.
And while we're on the subject of the Gladney's beating at the hand of SEIU thugs... how do you turn a story about violent union thugs beating up an innocent man who opposes ObamaCare into a story that paints peaceful opponents of ObamaCare as violent mobs?
Just ask the reporters and editors of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch because they somehow managed to publish a rambling, incoherent and totally sanitized version of the Gladney incident that did just that.
The Post-Dispatch started the story by simply stating that "six people were arrested after confrontations..."
And the Post-Dispatch only mentioned Gladney once... halfway through the article.
Read the following paragraph very carefully:
"Kenneth Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with 'Don't tread on me' printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room at St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was awaiting treatment for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack."
Did you notice that there were no details whatsoever given on the events leading up to the arrests... no details given on who started the confrontation?
Did you notice that the Post-Dispatch mentioned that one of the attackers was an African-American but neglected to mention that some of the attackers were White?
And why not mention those details?
Is it because mentioning those details would have forced the Post-Dispatch to actually tell the reader that SEIU thugs - some of them White - attacked an innocent African-American man who opposed ObamaCare?
Did the Post-Dispatch choose to publish an incoherent and rambling piece rather than devote any space to the whole and complete truth?
Years ago, White police officers stood accused of using excessive force against an African-American.
Of course, Rodney King was also a convicted felon and a hardened criminal who had assaulted the police officers in question when they attempted to arrest him.
But the MSM went ballistic back then and crucified those officers... so why not report an incident involving White union thugs beating an innocent African American man? Isn't the Gladney incident more egregious than the Rodney King incident in that aspect?
You probably already know the answer to that question. Of course, the Gladney incident is more egregious and the Post-Dispatch sanitized its coverage because the full and complete truth did not conform to the Post-Dispatch's agenda.
Of course, the Post-Dispatch did slip in the following quote from a prepared statement issued Carnahan's by office:
"Sadly we've seen stories about disrupters around the country, and we have a handful of them here in Missouri. Instead of participating in a civil debate, they have mobilized with special interests in Washington who have lined their pockets by overcharging Americans for a broken health care system."
And toward the end of the article, the Post-Dispatch included the following back-handed and sly attempt to place the blame squarely on the doorstep of the GOP:
"The Republican Party says it's not behind the protests, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada scoffed at the notion that the protesters reflect grass-roots sentiment."
The intent on the part of the Post-Dispatch is obvious, and now you know how the MSM spins a story 180 degrees... so that it conveys the exact opposite of what actually happened and is totally unrecognizable.
Consider the following....
Prior to the attacks and acts of violence committed against patriotic Americans by these union thugs, White House Advisors David Axelrod and Jim Messina briefed a group of Senators on how they planned to respond to opponents to ObamaCare who showed up at town hall meetings.
According to FOX News, Messina told the Senators assembled for that briefing: "If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard."
What exactly did Messina mean by that statement?
Would it be legitimate for the MSM to ask what bearing Messina's statement may have had on the attacks against Gladney and others?
Is it legitimate to ask why Obama allies are the only ones engaging in actual physical assaults and why these assaults did not happen prior to Messina's statement?
Moreover, is it legitimate to ask; what did the President know and when did he know it? When it came to a third -rate burglary some 35 years ago, it was a legitimate question... why not now?
Now consider this....
Bill Wilson, head of Americans for Limited Government (ALG), actually issued a statement blaming Obama and his Administration for the Gladney attack:
"The White House sent out millions of emails, as did the DNC, and the SEIU, all calling on supporters to attend these meetings. And now we know why. The SEIU... was formed by Wade Rathke, also founder of the group, ACORN, which Barack Obama served as an attorney. These are the same people that helped get Barack Obama elected. Barack Obama has long-time financial and material relationships with ACORN and SEIU."
Did the MSM , investigate Wilson's statement vis-à-vis the attacks against Gladney and others by goons from SEIU?
Of course not. But there's more:
The White House recently posted a call on the White House blog site asking people to turn-in their neighbors, friends, and family members who dared to speak the truth - or as the White House blog put it, "fishy" information - about ObamaCare.
According to the White House blog:
"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."
You would think that such a Stalinist abuse of power would be front-page above-the-fold news. But the MSM yawned. No coverage for these minor incidents. And for those omissions, the MSM needs to hear from you.

A "Lost" Fact in the "Rathergate" Mess -- Part 1
This will take some of the punch out of the Bush Bashers who loved to sing this song. Well now you'll find out that the lyrics you sung were bogus. So much for one of your sacrosanct media gods. What seems like a long, long time ago Dan Rather was a very powerful force in American journalism. He not only was the anchorman of the CBS Evening News, he was also the face of the network’s renowned news division — the “Tiffany” network of bigger-than-life legends like Ed Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Eric Sevareid, Mike Wallace and many, many others.
That was then. Now Dan Rather...

| When the former candidate decides to actually go on Conservative Talk Radio with Rush or Hannity to discuss Obamacare, I might listen to the discussion.

Gotta love the LSM, or should I say SRM (state run media) about the Zero going to "conservative" talk radio to press his points about Obamacare........
He was on Michael Smerconish's (sp?) show, and MS ain't no conservative. He might have some conservative listeners but he has always claimed to be an independent. As soon as McCain wrapped up the R nomination, and MS pushed him in the R primaries, he put all his support behind the Zero.
The Zero has yet to deal with any real conservatives and gets the fluffball treatment everytime he goes on anyone's show ---- because he only picks those he knows will give him the fluffball treatment. The man has no substance and has to pick and choose his "questioner/audience" very carefully so that he is allowed to keep up the persona --- fake as it is.

Thank God for videos. Without them the Democrats just lie and lie and unfortunately, too many of the great unwashed believe them. If it weren't for Fox News we would never see the truth but too many idiots prefer to be blind and bash FNC and everything conservative and Republican.

How to sell a book by renowned author most of you never heard until his arrest
http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/authors/author_henry_louis_gates_jr_arrested_122182.asp
Take opportunity knowing you were the one who created the problem.
Now you all know this officer would have been in trouble if he left Gates in the home and the two men weren't the two men the neighbor saw messing with the door ! The officer has no reason to say I'm sorry for doing my job .

| Yes BO DOES owe the police Officer an apology. On national TV without the facts he jumped stupid. Then again having Bill Cosby standing there and saying the same thing, is ironic, in that he was one of the first to jump up and do the same thing when the TAWANA BRAWLEY incident happened in Wappingers Falls, N Y .

Do you expect anything less from them, Helen?
After all they have Michael Jackson, and now Walter Cronkite to fill up their air time.
Do you think any of them would mention that considering just how much coverage the 40th anniversary of the murder of Mary Jo Kopeckne at the hand of Ted Kennedy has received today?

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs and the Obama administration found the press corps slightly less friendly than they are used to yesterday, when CBS's Chip Reid asked why the questions for Wednesday’s town hall on healthcare were being selected beforehand.
Gibbs tried to dodge the issue, and asked for it to be asked after the town hall meeting in question, but then Helen Thomas became involved, saying, “We have never had that in the White House. I’m amazed that you people … call for openness and transparency.”
Reid and Thomas didn't let up for a second, especially Thomas.
To see the video, of the full exchange, Go Here Now.
Karl Rove opined on Fox News this morning that, to some extent, Gibbs had a point in saying that, since people are free to ask whatever questions they want, the president should be allowed to answer whichever questions he wants.
But Thomas didn't see it that way. After the press conference, she told CNS News that Obama's grip on the media is even greater than that of Richard Nixon.
"Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn’t control [the media]. They didn’t try that. What the hell do they think we are, puppets? They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them. I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well - for the town halls, for the press conferences. It’s blatant. They don’t give a d**n if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame."

ABC infomercial is a diversion!
It's the way the Obama administration works -- forget about how you get it done, just get it done. Since support is fading for Cap & Trade, as it's essentially one of the biggest tax increases in history, the administration and the media are making a big deal (and rightfully so) out of the ABC infomercial happening tonight. While you are enraged about that, Cap n Trade slips in through the back door, unnoticed and unharmed. Watch for Glenn to shine the spotlight on this issue for the rest of the week on radio and at 5pm on the Fox News Channel.
'
What took you so long?'
A straight shooter who is well respected in the biz, Major Garrett from Fox News, was called on during yesterday's press conference. His question for Obama, 'what took you so long' to comment on the protesters in Iran, drew annoyance from ‘The One.’ Garrett talks about the exchange and offers an inside view to life in the White House press corps -- including his take on if the reporters alongside him are starting to wake up to the fact that nothing Obama is proposing is working. Transcript ,
Obama's media plant
President Obama had a weird moment in the press conference when he called on a liberal blogger (2nd - in between the AP and Reuters) and the transaction seemed as if it were rehearsed. The White House later admitted that they called the blogger and said they had been 'following' what they were reporting on and might ask a question. It seems like a little more than that if you actually see the exchange. Glenn calls the press conference a 'puppet show' when reacting to this story. Transcript

I am writing to invite you to join me in an open forum to share your position on the important health care reform debate taking place in the U.S. Congress. It is important for me to know your opinion on the current quality, affordability and accessibility within the current system and what proposed changes would mean for Delawareans. Recently, we had a very successful roundtable discussion and listening session in New Castle County, where the community was very engaged in the future of health care.
The Health Care Listening Session for Kent County will be held on June 29, 2009 from 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. at Delaware Technical and Community College, Workforce Training Center, Room 407 A & B, 100 Campus Drive, Dover, DE.
The Health Care Listening Session for Sussex County will be held on June 30, 2009 from 10:00 a.m - 11:30 a.m. at the Georgetown CHEER Community Center, 20520 Sand Hill Road, Georgetown, DE
This is my email invite from Mr.Castle

| I find it mind boggling that there is still no outrage in these forums over what amounts to government run television news. Aware that the MSM is highly biased toward Obama and the Democrats, the fact that ABC news is quartered in the White House in order to advance Obama's health care reform should be a matter of concern to all Americans regardless of party affiliation. If that's not bad enough, ABC and the WH is not allowing any challenge from other news organizations nor will they allow any opposing opinions or debate from other health care experts. Furthermore, they will not allow any advertisements with opposing views. Just like the "Global warming hype", legitimate debate is closed. This is a dream come true for Josef Goebbels were he alive today. Seal off all opposition, debate, or hard questions. An outrage to say the very least.

Back in 2007, Evan Thomas of Newsweek magazine was asked, "Don't you guys think the you're being awfully hard on George W. Bush?" "No, no, no, no, no," said Evan Thomas of Newsweek, "Our job is to bash the president. That's what the media does. Our job is to bash the president." Now Newsweek is government-run media. Evan Thomas Friday night on MSNBC got a question. The question was this. "You remember 1984? That wasn't 100 years ago. Reagan, World War II the sense of us as the good guys in the world. How are we doing?" Listen to this answer.
THOMAS: We were the good guys in 1984, it felt that way. It hasn't felt that way in recent years. So Obama's had really a different task. Uh, we -- we -- we are seen too often as the bad guys, and he has a very different job from -- from -- Reagan was all about America, and he talked about it. Obama is, we are above that now. We're not just parochial. We're not just chauvinistic. We're not just provincial; we stand for something. I mean, in a way, Obama is standing above the country, above the world, a sort of god!
MATTHEWS: N'yeah!
THOMAS: He's -- he's going to bring all different sides together.

A Harley rider is passing the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning
into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her
jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of
her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage
and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering
from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker
brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A New York
Times reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw
a man do in my whole life.' The biker replies, 'Why, it was nothing,
really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger,
and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'm a journalist from the New York Times, and
tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...So, what do
you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'
The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to see if it
indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page:
U. S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT
AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

| Evan Thomas (Newsweek) said that :...Obama is above America...above the world...kind of a god..! Obama is no god, he is a human being, a man, like you and me. Such nonsense. And this guy (Thomas) is the same guy when questioned about the constant negative reporting on George Bush, his reply was, "It's the job of the media to bash the president." With all that one can bash Obama for, he is now likened to a god. Talk about brainwashing.

| This is a prime example of why liberal talk radio will never succeed. If Beck took her approach (and he does often), he would never back down from it nor would his network turn chicken s**t. Unbelievable, the pansies.
