Fox News Did Not Air John Edwards' Speech Endorsing Barack Obama

Wed, 14 May 2008 17:01:16 PDT
CNN did. MSNBC did. Fox didn't. Fox - the place for politics and your place to go for politics and "America's Election Headquarters" didn't cover it. Comment: What does that tell ya? Fox is afraid. Afraid their viewers might actually agree with Edwards' and Obama's message of hope and their talk about tearing down the wall that surrounds Washington, D.C. so we, the people can be heard. "America's Election Headquarters?" Yeah, right. The propaganda and censorship going on here could be cut with

MUST READ: Right Blog and Radio Brilliance

Sun, 04 May 2008 08:52:14 PDT
This it too good to not take the time to read and follow. CBC staff should all read it since it involves at least a couple of “expert” correspondents at Huffington Post —which as I’ve pointed out is a far-left web site that state-owned CBC Newsworld likes to source for their guest analysts and “experts” on politics.

AND NOW A WORD FROM HILLARY'S BASE

Wed, 14 May 2008 16:00:00 PDT
That Ken endorses Obama every time I'm not looking. And today Nancy Keenan, John Arovosis and John Edwards all conspired against her. So I figured, to be fair, I'd see if there was someone whose political judgment I could trust who would probably be a Hillary supporter and get that opinion up at DWT. Mags hasn't posted here for awhile and we've been poorer for it. I figured she'd be perfect for the other side of the coin. Here's Mags' report: I am part of Hillary’s base, or so the logic goes.

Where are those transmissions you intercepted…?

Wed, 14 May 2008 15:50:45 PDT
Now, everybody knows, I love me some Star Wars. More than most people. I'm one of those geeks who can recite almost every line; even R2's beeps. That said, I don't think I'd ever ever EVER join... a Jedi Church. No, seriously. I guess there's a Jedi Church in North Wales. I know this because the leader of that church was attacked recently. Any guesses as to who did the attacking? Of course!
