“FAUX OPINION network is such a big joke.

They all get their daily "talking points" from Roger Ailes and they keep harping on what to report all day long and what phrases to keep accentuating in their "reporting", instead of just reporting the actual news.

And what a joke at how they "forge" the video as a "current event" with tape from months ago.

Now they're too embarrassed to allow their videos to be seen on the internet because they are such a farce.”

Rogan replied on Nov 16, 2009 at 07:34:08

“I don't think it's embarrassment. They just don't want to get caught so easily any more, with the results seen by so many people. Remember, they aren't really in the "ratings game," along with other tv outlets; they're a political propaganda machine.”

Our Veterans Deserve Our Thanks and Our Service

Commented Nov 12, 2009 at 12:35:23 in Politics

“Where are all the newspaper articles and blogs about Senator Coburn (R-OK) who is holding up Health Care for Veterans?

I've look all over and cannot find anything. Hopefully it is I that missed the numerous articles and TV News Reports - and not the media that is overlooking this news.

At least Rachel Maddow covered the story. Hope it gets you just as mad as I am.

I wonder how the media would react if this were a Democrat holding up the health care for our Vets.”

WaPo Slants Afghan News with Biased News Header

Commented Nov 08, 2009 at 17:32:34 in World

“We keep sending our soldiers to fight a CIVIL WAR in Afghanistan.

Deployment after Deployment after Deployment after Deployment after Deployment after Deployment.

Want to see a heated debate in Congress? Tell them our troops are too stretched and Congress will have to re-instate the draft.

Between the arguments in Congress and the "citizens coming to life" about the war, like the Vietnam War days, Afghanistan will become Page One News and the Lead Story on TV - along with the protests about it.”

Campbell Brown Smears MSNBC

Commented Oct 31, 2009 at 19:23:22 in Media

“Not to mention Roger Ailes' DAILY TALKING POINTS on what to cover, what to keep pounding away at.

That why they all sound alike no matter what the show. They're just following the bosses orders.

And when is the last time a Republican did something wrong and was not shown to have a "D" Democrat letter after that Republican's name. They always get those "accidental typos" when its against somebody they are supporting.”

Can Progressives and Conservatives Agree on Health Care Reform?

Commented Oct 17, 2009 at 21:19:30 in Politics

“Agree. There is no way in the world that Democrats and Republicans could agree on anything in today's Congressional Climate.

One side could say it is sunny and warm and the other would automatically say is is snowing and cold.

The only way Dems and Repubs would ever agree on anything is if two NEW parties were created to get things done in a bipartisan way.

Then and only then would both the Dems and Repubs say as "One Party" that the two new were lying.”

Health Insurers Have It All But Want Still More

Commented Oct 17, 2009 at 16:37:33 in Politics

“Why does "The Mob" come to mind when I hear about these Healthcare Insurance Denials?

Pay your premiums on time and stay healthy and The Godfather won't send any of his gang after you.

And if you're a four month old baby and you are a little on the chubby side, it to the gyms treadmill for you!! Even though the kid can't walk yet!!

Get sick and you could find yourself in bed with, well, you know what.”

Health Insurers Have It All But Want Still More

Commented Oct 17, 2009 at 16:24:47 in Politics

“Norm - But, but, but ... How do you expect them to "compete" and "stay in business" (snark)?

Isn't it suppose to be a one-way system where the client pays their premiums religiously and then gets denied coverage when they get sick?

It's gotta be in some "Rule Book" the Insurance Industry uses - somewhere!

Oh wait, Congress wrote that "Rule Book" for the insurance companies years and years ago. Might have had something to do with this thing they call "Campaign Contributions", that members of Congress receive!! Just a hunch; I could be wrong.”

“It's CONGRESS that has to get stormed - on both sides of the aisle - by the people!!

THEY are the ones who make the laws and more important, they are the ones who get bought out and put loopholes into these so-called "laws".

Start there with the march (more of an avalanche) - that turns into BEDLAM in Washington DC - on a day that Congress is "actually" in session!! That's going to be the hardest part of the march seeing that Congress is off sooooo many days per month!”
