The Economy is Fine? The Media Bias. Please!!!!

by John June 11, 2012

A Second Obama Term

by John June 11, 2012

Ryan Lizza in the New Yorker has a good piece on what a second Obama term would look like. Overall, Lizza confirms my earlier post on the lack of major differences between Obama and Romney. He also cites the silliness we hear on Fox News, the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and talk radio that […]

Dylan Ratigan Leaving MSNBC

by John June 10, 2012

Dylan Ratigan is apparently tired of the cable news non-sense and the media bias. He is rather polite in his departure when commenting about cable news and its growing irrelevance. From the New York Times: Cable news, he said Sunday, “is designed to argue about rules and resources, and who should control them,” especially in […]

Wisconsin Recall Proves One Thing

by John June 10, 2012

That one thing is that you need Informed Not Inflamed. You’re hearing and seeing so much written on the “outside money”, the PAC-dollars in the race that kept Governor Scott Walker in office. Here are the facts: It was the state’s most expensive race. Walker clearly won with a substantial (in political terms) margin of […]

by John June 10, 2012

Horror From Syria Video

by John June 7, 2012

This is video from Syria.  It comes from Storyful.  It’s horrible massacre aftermath video. Children are among the dead.  We can’t say who shot the video.  It also does not show who the culprits are.  But it appears that the Assad regime is to blame.  The government refuses to allow UN observers in.  Many of […]

Media In Bed with Politicians; We Get Screwed

by John June 7, 2012

The Sunlight Foundation found this latest media bias. Because it is a political year, House members are trying to hide the donors. And yet we own the airwaves these broadcasters use to make money. Think of your boss would like you hiding the money you were making on the side using all of his resources. […]

Mann and Ornstein Media Bias Blatant

by John June 3, 2012

Now I understand why I avoid most of the Sunday morning talk shows.  Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein wrote this book on how horrible, corrupt, and obstructionist both parties are.  They correctly blame the Republicans for most of the gridlock; since the GOP controls only one house of Congress now.  Since they published this book, […]
