When will the MSM ever learn? Telling the truth just doesn’t work for their corrupted industry. Had they just fudged the truth as usual, it would be party-on. But now, they were misunderstood, and will have to rework their plan so the little people can understand what they really meant. --- -Washington Post cancels lobbyist event amid uproar-
Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth said today she was canceling plans for an exclusive "salon" at her home where for as much as $250,000, the Post offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record access to "those powerful few" — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and even the paper’s own reporters and editors.
“Cold comfort that The Won has become so predictable” @ Luncianne.com ------- Obama 'meddles' in Honduras -- and chooses the wrong side
New York Daily News, by James Kirchik President Barack Obama has made it clear that he does not want the United States to be seen as "meddling" in Iran's internal politics. Never mind that the Islamic Republic has been "meddling" in our affairs for the past three decades, if such a bland word can be used to characterize the seizure of our embassy in 1979, the killing of 229 American servicemen in 1983 and the planting of roadside bombs...

Oh these pesky questions, why doesn't Obama just show us his documents? ----- Check out latest eligibility billboard location WorldNetDaily.com
WASHINGTON – The latest billboard in the "Where's the birth certificate?" campaign is up for gawkers in the Waco, Texas, area. And the national fund-raising campaign to erect many, many more billboards around the country questioning Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for office is going strong – with a total of $100,000 collected so far.
A reporter giving “false and biased reports?” What next? People no longer trusting a totally corrupted media?
Newsweek Reporter Confesses In Iran
Newsweek’s Canadian-Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari has admitted to giving “false and biased” reports about the recent post-election events in Iran. [Snip] The Newsweek reporter said international press set the scenes for velvet revolutions in various countries, adding that the gentle overthrow of a government could not be achieved without their critical role. [snip] Bahari specifically highlighted the role of the BBC, CNN, Euronews, The New York Times and Newsweek. http://tinyurl.com/ltava9
The Dems are going to take big heat in the upcoming midterm elections which is why Obama is trying to push everything through Congress this year while he has the big majorities. He knows his policies will be under voter fire next year.
7:50, if you actually take the time to read the piece, you'll learn why your response makes no sense.
Why would anyone in their right mind register to read a propaganda article in the Traitor Times so they can sell your name and tally you as a subscriber?
The fact remains, Republicans cannot prolong or worsen the recession. It is physically impossible. They have no voice or say.
***I read it and it's another Krugman propaganda piece for your Far Left mind. Oh and the actual title of the editorial is 'That 30s Show,' not your twisted liberal version.***
Aside from the knee-jerk name-calling, do you have any errors -- factual or judgmental -- to point out in the piece?

You think 'Grill jockeys' aren’t serious cooks, think again.

How Much Propane Is Really in Your 20-Pound Grill Tank?
Here is a good question to pursue for your Fourth of July weekend coverage-
The answer may not be 20 pounds, as you might think.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:
Last month, a class-action lawsuit was filed against propane tank providers

How the Republicans are helping prolong and worsen the recession:

Last time I checked Republicans aren't in power and this is now the Democrats and Obama's Depression.
The Dems are going to take big heat in the upcoming midterm elections which is why Obama is trying to push everything through Congress this year while he has the big majorities. He knows his policies will be under voter fire next year.

Stop being such an idiot.
I read it and it's another Krugman propaganda piece for your Far Left mind.
Oh and the actual title of the editorial is 'That 30s Show,' not your twisted liberal version.
Sarah Palin resigned as Govenor of Alaska, effective July 26.
What kind of a spin will Anchorage Daily News put on that?

Which part of, "another propaganda piece for your far left mind" didn't you comprehend?
give it up guys, battle of wit?
****Aside from the knee-jerk name-calling, do you have any errors -- factual or judgmental -- to point out in the piece?****
Indeed, what part of propaganda didn't you understand? Oh, and lying about the title of the editorial makes you even more untrustworthy.
Bloggers aren't journalists so the $54 seems about right. Go to college, get a degree, move up the ranks, earn a paycheck.
End of story. Oh enjoy the $54 since that's what your dribble is worth.
...Which part of, "another propaganda piece for your far left mind" didn't you comprehend?...
That's your opinion of the piece. How about some specifics to back it up? Oh, wait, that would require some effort and thought.
****That's your opinion of the piece. How about some specifics to back it up? Oh, wait, that would require some effort and thought.****
That's an opinion about an opinion piece.
How about some effort and thought to rebut this?
Democrats caused the recession and Republicans tried to stop it
