Commented Dec 03, 2009 at 13:04:02 in Media

“It is not always good when a company has everything from production to delivery of a product. When that product includes content and communication, that is one of these situations. With ownership of a content provider, the cost to other cable and satellite outlets of NBC/Universal products could be artificially increased above the cost another similar content or otherwise restricted to Comcast use only.”

A Tale Of Two MSNBCs

Commented Dec 03, 2009 at 12:50:35 in Media

“I like Dylan Ratigan's take on politics and economy. Lawerence O'Donnell is a yawner. His presentation style is boring. I like both Olbermann and Maddow, but tend to watch her more often. I'm not counted in the stats since I'm in the older generation and not in the demographic group the surveys target. Those below and above the target demographic age still are important to a shows success.”

Commented Nov 30, 2009 at 14:34:37 in Books

“Obviously, she, her ghost writer, and her publisher are not good at research. They needed to check the quote against at least one additional source. A quick double check of quotes via Google came up with many hits on the quote attributed to John Wooden Legs. She keeps quiting and failing.”

Commented Nov 16, 2009 at 14:41:30 in Technology

Will Phillips, 10-Year-Old, Won't Pledge Allegiance To A Country That Discriminates Against Gays (VIDEO)

Commented Nov 16, 2009 at 13:57:54 in Politics

“The pledge is not mandatory and would be only in a dictatorship. He has every right not to participate. It sounds like his substitute teacher may have too aggressively suggested he participate and he too aggressively responded. That even happens between adults where the power in a situation may be more equal.”

HarlowGal1960 replied on Nov 16, 2009 at 14:58:03

“the law requires you stand for the pledge.”

MarcEdward replied on Nov 16, 2009 at 14:30:20

“Here in NC it is mandated that the teachers lead the pledge and the students parrot it. Fascism anyone?”

Cryostatic replied on Nov 16, 2009 at 14:07:24

“Not mandatory for adults, I suppose. In our indoctrination centers, however, children are expected to obey authority. In many places, that includes reciting the Pledge.”

Murdoch: Beck 'Was Right,' Obama Made Racist Comment (VIDEO)

Commented Nov 10, 2009 at 11:58:43 in Media

“We let an Australian come here and buy up some of our media and tell us about our news? Maybe we should also let the BBC come into our market and not be labeled so that we can see that it is obviously a British import. When you watch Fox or now read The Wall Street Journal, you are seeing a view of America from an outsider with a twisted view. Hopefully he will decide to go fully pay for content, remove search listing on Google and other search engines, and kill his business.”

irhona replied on Nov 10, 2009 at 13:11:51

“Agreed! A nation should not allow a foreigner, no matter how moneyed, to emigrate and ruin their society.”

Scalia Misquoted On Brown v. Board Of Education (CORRECTED)

Commented Oct 27, 2009 at 16:03:11 in Politics

“"Separate but equal" was used for many years, but the segregated schools and other facilities, such as public restrooms, were almost always inferior for the minority. If Scalia had dissented on Brown V. Board of Education, he would have been for unequal treatment and with such a vote would say that is acceptable. That is the opposite of what the Constitution states.”

Harry Reid Poll: Nevadans See Senator As "Weak"

Commented Oct 21, 2009 at 13:08:35 in Politics

“Nevada is not in the South, but it used to be called the Mississippi of the West for its segregationist ways. Harry Reid grew up in a small mining town south of Las Vegas and is more conservative in some ways than some of the "Blue Dogs." He does know the position of the majority of Nevadans is for the public option. We have to see if he can deliver or if he can't, he will lose his next election, even to the likes of Sue Lowdin, the major republican candidate, who has ties to the gaming industry through she and her husband's former ownership of casinos and other related businesses.”

Interracial Couple Denied Marriage License By Louisiana Justice Of The Peace

Commented Oct 15, 2009 at 18:51:12 in Politics

“He says that it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long. Of course he is right since about 1/2 of ALL marriages will fail. "I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," he said. That meets the definition of racism. Another racist who denies he is racist. He needs to be removed from office.”

Conservatives Revel In Obama's Olympic Bid Failure

Commented Oct 02, 2009 at 13:08:24 in Politics

“Celebrating not getting the Olympics is beyond stupid. There were four competing cities and the head of state for each country was invited to speak. What would they be saying if President Obama had not gone? I'm sure the white noise level would be just as loud and obnoxious.”

b-dob replied on Oct 02, 2009 at 13:13:06

“First, nobody was invited to Denmark. He chose to go. Second, nobody is celebrating not getting the Olympics. But, to take a positive out of a negative, it is good to see Obama taken down a peg or two. He is such an arrogant megalomaniac, maybe this will help him learn some humility and make him a better leader.”
