Panics ‘R’ Us

Part 2

Newsweek magazine is in dire financial trouble and is seeking to survive by cultivating a liberal, urban audience. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as the editors are up-front about it. But this sneaky media stuff is harming America, and it must be unmasked.

With Barack Obama in the White House, the country is facing profound change. America is already on the verge of bankruptcy and federal intrusion into private business, health care, and the environment is unprecedented. The far left is trying to create a huge federal apparatus that will promote income redistribution and "social justice." Also, the left sees a major opportunity to knock out Judeo-Christian traditions, replacing them with a secular philosophy.

In order to accomplish this, the left-wing media is marginalizing people like Sarah Palin who oppose the strategy. Under the guise of hard news reporting, the media is pushing rank propaganda on the citizenry. Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, successfully developed this tactic in the 1930's.

Americans need to wake up and smell the corruption. If crazy ideologues have infiltrated the news business, we need to know about it. And now you do.

Marginalizing Sarah Palin

Part 1

About a month ago in this space, I told you that the New York Times had rigged a poll about Americans wanting to pay higher taxes to fund government-run health care. The Times poll said 57% were willing to pay more tax; 37% were not willing to do so. But what the Times did not tell its readers was that 48% of those polled voted for Barack Obama. Just 25% supported John McCain. So of course the poll results would skew left.

Now we have another media deceit. In the most recent Newsweek magazine, there is a nasty hatchet job on Sarah Palin by a guy named Rick Perlstein. The piece is presented as hard news, not an opinion column, and basically says that the governor is a moron who is supported by dimwitted conservatives at odds with smart Republicans. Perlstein also submits that the dumb GOP folks are led by me and other Fox News people.

Anyone reading the story would think that a Newsweek correspondent put it together. I mean, the magazine has a staff of trained journalists to do its reporting and analysis. But Rick Perlstein is not a Newsweek correspondent, and is identified only as an author at the end of the piece. Very strange.

It gets even more strange.

Turns out that Rick Perlstein is a far-left zealot who blogs for a liberal site called "Campaign for America's Future." Perlstein lists one of his "interests" as "conservative failure." In 2007, Perlstein wrote, "I've just become a proud Fox [News] attacker. Now, you can too. It's not a boycott. It's simply calling advertisers and informing them what Fox says. Fox can't survive that."

So, Newsweek magazine hires a far-left loon to do a hit piece on Sarah Palin, conservatives, and Fox News, and does not inform its readers about the loon's dedicated point-of-view. Newsweek editor Jon Meacham basically tried to disguise an ideological attack as news coverage. Awful.

OBAMA EATS ENDANGERED BELUGA STURGEON WITH PUTIN

Quote:
Russian agencies, quoting the government's press service, said Putin treated Obama to black caviar with sour cream, smoked beluga with pancakes and tea made in the traditional Russian samovar, a big coal-fired kettle.

WIKIPEDIA:
--------------
IUCN classifies the beluga as Endangered. It is a protected species listed in appendix III of the Bern Convention and its trade is restricted under CITES appendix II. The Mediterranean population is strongly protected under appendix II of the Bern Convention, prohibiting any intentional killing of these fish.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has banned imports of Beluga Caviar and other beluga products from the Caspian Sea since October 6, 2005.

The problem is far too little is being done; more oversight is nice but it isn't going to do the job; as the article noted it's fiction.
Until the likes of Goldman Sachs and others no longer have the clout to manipulates the government this will continue and happen again.
I can see no chance of that change in the foreseeable future. I suppose the good news is it happens largley with Republicans in the White House, (I see no difference between Bush's bail out and Reagans) and at lest for the moment the Democrates are in charge but I would still not recomend leaving whats left of your retirement in the hands of Wall Street.

President Obama continues to make changes to our nation that will have negative impacts on our economy.

Just take a look at this recent poll "Manufacturing & Technology eJournal Poll Shows Clean Energy Act Could Force Nearly 20 Percent of Manufacturers to Close"

Wow, another negative story about Obama from Samuelson. What a waste of time and energy reading these.

Still Free in the USA ,you dont give your GOP craps here !!!Your Party already dead on Nov4,Nobody cares to attend the Service.

The Obama Adminstration undertake this Sh.ts as below.

The Outstanding Public Debt as of 30 September 2008 under Bush 10 Trillion, a US History.
The Outstanding Public Debt INTEREST for the US Defense 30% as of 30 September 2008.
The Outstanding Public Debt INTEREST for US Treasury for Bond and Notes issued with 30% for 5 Years Guarantee as of 30 September 2008.

The Outstanding Public Debt as of 29 Jun 2009 at 11:40:49 PM GMT is $ 11,399,394,698,554.

For Financing Obama Stimulus $787-billion ,a New US Bond and Treasury is now being Auction and Raise with a promise Notes and Guarantee to China as request from Premer Wen Jia Bao,which China already hold almost One trillon US treasury Bond and Notes,US already owes these 3 top list of Lenders as Borrowers ,Japan US 650 Billion,Russia US 137 Billion others like Arabs on smaller scale amount.

Just imaging the Interest alone for How Obama Adminstration and Americans Tax Payers needs to pay?

Of course over-regulation is a problem, but to advocate a complete lack of regulation makes the same foolish assumption that communism makes: that people will act responsibly.

It seems everyday there is another example of media deception in America. With the Fourth of July approaching, it is well worth remembering why the founding fathers gave the press special privileges. They wanted journalists to report honestly???to give the folks accurate, unbiased information so they could make informed decisions about who should hold power. Many of the founders like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams didn't much like the press, but they well understood that, for a democratic Republic to work, voters need honest information.

Unfortunately, the vision of a free and honest press is fast disappearing in America. Let me give you yet another vivid example. This week a poll by the New York Times asked, "Would you be willing to pay higher taxes so that all Americans have health insurance... ?"

57% said they were willing, 37% not willing, and 6% said "no opinion."

So, according to the Times, overwhelmingly, Americans want government-financed health care. That's what the poll says, right?

But if you read all the way down to the bottom of the poll, you see another question. "Who did you vote for [in the presidential election]?"

48% said Obama; just 25% answered McCain. The rest, 19%, did not vote. Wow, that's almost two to one for Obama.

But the popular vote tally in the election last November was 53% for Barack Obama, and 46% for John McCain. Wait a minute. That's a lot closer than two to one. So apparently the New York Times skewed the polling by offering the questions to mostly Obama voters. I'm shocked they supported higher taxes for federal health care, aren't you?

This kind of dishonesty is not uncommon in the media. The Times says its poll is "scientific." Sure it is???scientifically stacking the deck.

I believe very few people read the entire poll before digesting the health care headline. The result is a flawed perception of what the American public really wants. The folks may, indeed, support Uncle Sam paying some heavy medical bills, but this poll is not a reflection of anything other than a New York Times deception.

By the way, CBS News also had its name on that poll.

As a media guy who wants accurate information, that kind of stuff tees me off. As soon as the pollsters learned most the respondents were Obama people, they should have thrown the results out. But the Times ardently favors national health care and a huge federal government. So the con played out.

The most frustrating part about this is that nothing can be done. The Times has an ombudsman, but he's a joke, and no outside agency has any power over the paper. It can pretty much do what it wants, and does.

It is true that the Times and some other media outlets, most on the committed left, are on the brink of bankruptcy. The liberal papers say the Internet is to blame, and that's partly true.
