Soros just donated $1M to NPR. 

It was $1.8 million, and it came from the Open Society Foundations, which, granted was founded by Soros.

  And Rupert Murdoch, owner of the Fair and Balanced Fox Newscrap donated $3 million dollars to the Chamber of Commerce shush fund...

It was only $1 million.

Them little numbers are tricky suckers, ain't they? Always check your facts, kids. It keeps you from looking like a rumor-mongering alarmist.

  Henry, some time back, even tho you're a hawk.  You were crowing about the wonderful Tea Party candidates.

  Would you like to bring me back up to speed on your thoughts on O'Donnell, Engles, Bachman, Whitman, McMahon and most of all Sarah Palin.  I need an up date.  I think it is wonderful their standings in the election polls.  They will make fine Republican leaders.

You've summed up my thoughts on this, perfectly. This is a perfect example of why I despise big corporate media.

Journalism is dead, that much is clear. The almighty corporate fund has bought it, just as they are buying up this country!

Conservatives has known that it has been dead for years now....it just took a conservative news group to smack those on the left to realize this...Liberal bias has been around for two decades....now that FoxNews is throwing it back in the faces of liberals....EVERYBODY get's it finally.

Don't fool yourself; FOX is just as bad as the rest of them. In fact they are among the most dangerous because they are growing in strength and size, and using half truths and outright lies to obtain their corporate goals.

Just look at the talking heads they employ!

Divide and conquer. . .

I never said they could not or would not be dangerous....I'm just pointing out, this has been going on for years now....it took fox to throw the pendulam to the other side, and NOW people suddenly don't trust the media.

I say they are everybit as truthful as ANY news agency out there.....they just lean right, where the rest leans left....

CBS,ABC,NBC,MSNBC,CNN,PBS..ALL of them have been using half truths and outright lies to obtain their corporate goals....

Why do you think FoxNews is so powerful and the MOST watched?

Because people, on average, are too lazy to do their own research, and in an increasingly disturbing trend apathy has taken over.

Ya better check things out before ya comment Troll.  Juan is a liberal and for Obama and the administration and he did not go nuclear on Muslims, he made a comment.  He is only one of the liberal voices which Fox has, they have many others which contribute to give a liberal point of view.  He was telling O'Reilley why he was wrong with his statement on the view but also explaining how political correctness has gone way too far at times.  He has been on Fox for quite sometime and they didn't find a problem with it until now.  It is NPR that's trying to squelch freedom of speech not Fox.  No one wants to shut down NPR where did you get that idea?  Fox does not get tax money, NPR does they are part of PBS and should not be political one way or the other. 

Fox has many black contributors as well as employees both male and female so don't even go there. 

This type of crap has never happened with any other administration and it's just plain wrong any way you look at it.  If ya'll don't see what's going on you really need to stand back, open your eyes, and pay attention. 


Quote from: The Troll on October 22, 2010, 06:03:23 AM
   There you go, because some dumbass goes nuclear on Muslims and I guess against company policy.  Some other dumbass want to shut down a whole radio system.  Typical Republican bullshit.  Have you noticed how many constitutional rights they want to change.  One of them is freedom of speech.

  I just wish, when I get into my car I could turn on my radio and get something entertaining, instead of Rush Limp-paw and all of his Republican lies and bullshit.  Religious preachers and sports shows.  Rush's EIB show, Excellence in Bullshit is on at least 5 radio stations in this area, the last I counted. Hell, I don't even turn on my radio.  I wish they would bring back truth in broadcasting.  The way it is now,  AM Radio just plain sucks.


  Since I just can't stomach Fox TV in any way because they are such lyers.  Just how many black news hosts do they have on Fox.  I would at least watch for a while a Black O'Reiley and a Black Hannity and a Black Glen Beck.  God I'll be smarter after watching all of that bullshit.  :rotfl: :wacko:

THAT has always been the case...things are no different now....as a mater of fact, I would bet MORE people do their own reseach NOW than ever, because of the internet....I know I do.  AND the apathy is NOT by conservatives any longer THAT is why we are on the cusps of a major blow back to the right...


and Troll is a good example of people, on average, that are too lazy to do their own research.....he is a democrat no matter what.....

btw Troll, Limbaugh is on two stations in your area....one is on AM the other is on FM 
    Anderson    WHBU    1240
Indianapolis WIBC- FM    93.1

show me the other three he is on that you can get in your area....or is it that YOU that has lies and bullshit, not  Limp-paw?

If that were true, how do you explain the proliferation of individuals from the extremist sector of society within the current batch of candidates?

there are not that many extremist...that is just more media hype....the vast majority of tea party attendee's Palehore are folks like the Hawk...I am telling you the truth, I have been to two of them in Indy...they was made up of normal conservative people....businessmen, doctors (I know I saw MY very own DR there), lawyers, military (lot's of military btw)....you can believe me or not.  I have NEVER  lied to you, despite what exterminater claims, .... those candidates that you are talking about got nominated because they are simply more conservative...they are runnning on smaller government and that is what the Tea Party people want...it is THAT simple.

I'm out of here, take care Zoners!!... :yes:
