The Main Stream Media needs a tight race for the presidency to drive its reader and viewership. So coverage of the President’s tax return has been muted because the President puts his money where his mouth is.

The Rush Limbaugh Boycott…..success far beyond our hopes. As of Friday March 9, at least 61 sponsors had pulled their support from Rush Limbaugh’s daily rant and rave. On Thursday, Limbaugh’s program was practically devoid of paid advertisements. 86 spots aired. 77 were PSA’s, public service announcements donated by the [...]

Just in time for the 2012 election PlanetPOV presents the new Periodic Table of Dangerous Elements. There are plenty of new infamous characters added but there are still some golden oldies on the table.  Some more notorious international figures were added as well but really you could make a whole [...]

Obama haters of all stripes and alleged political positions are joined in a chorus of furious, self-righteous bleating, like a flock of sheep with gas pains.

Rupert Murdoch may explain to those he “puts a hit” on, “It’s nuthin’ personal, it’s just business,” but to any citizen of any nation that wishes to preserve their democracy, it’s pretty damn personal.

  I never wanted to be a pundit. ~Robert MacNeil   Let’s get this out of the way early. Almost all of us dislike punditry for various reasons. There may be a voice or two out there that we all hold in some esteem and try to set apart from [...]

For many months he had been endlessly scrawling Obama’s plan for a Mao like Communist America across his blackboards but now he saw the great truth. Could it be possible that Obama, in conjunction with “elements of the State Department”, is preparing America to join a worldwide Muslim caliphate?

Yesterday my husband and I attended a spring training game – the Oakland A‘s vs the Chicago Cubs – down in Phoenix near the zoo. It is a tradition for us to attend a spring training game on St. Patrick’s Day, and since the rail has been developed in the [...]

Why is politics so mind bogglingly complicated? You often hear conversation  about the host of complex problems we face today and that these issues cannot be reduced to bumper sticker slogans and addressed by simplistic solutions. I say simple clear, concise ideas are powerful and the problems we face are [...]

As Politicalgates expands and expounds, certain topics that relate to Sarah Palin, and more importantly, society as a whole, have a way of circling around. Some questions or issues can persist, and are worthy of reevaluation given their ongoing pertinence. Recently, the always relevant, misguided concept of the “death panel” came up again in discussions on this site.

While reading an article posted on Crooks and Liars about the utter ignorance of the some our fellow citizens, especially those who get their news from Fox, I felt my blood begin to boil – as it usually does when reading anything about that hate-filled and dangerous news orifice. Apparently [...]

What a journalist coo it is to land an interview with the president of the US, to be able to sit down and interview the president must be equivalent to being the guest of honor at a State dinner. Fox News was given this plum assignment to air on Super [...]

On Saturday, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and spoke to tens of thousands of blindingly white, patriotically obese, special needs Walmart shoppers, claiming to speak for God and urging a return to the halcyon days of religious domination of our democracy which [...]

This morning as I was watching last night’s Craig Ferguson Show that we tape since we can’t stay up that late, his monologue struck a chord with me. He stated that he’s been feeling rather depressed lately, and I have to admit that so have I, and I wonder if [...]

Media Matters for America has named Glenn Beck the 2009 misinformer of the year. It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving fear monger. This charlatan is a danger in ways that we don’t even seem to realize. Beck has been whipping people into a frenzy based upon nothing but sheer [...]

Chernynkaya wrote a wonderful article regarding the way the media has being covering health care reform and the debates that have occured as a result of it. I would recommend the article to anyone. In fact I think it should be printed, emailed, and shown to anyone and everyone you [...]

Faux News is now spinning a new breast cancer screening study that suggests women should wait until their 50′s to get mammograms.
