I wonder where a bunch of tainted pseudo journalists like yourselves are going to find work when the the inner workings of your organization are all exposed. My advice is to jump ship now and sell whatever story you've got on Fox to get a job or some cash while there's a market for it. Have no doubt that's what the guy sitting next to you is thinking about doing. Hang around this sinking ship too long and you're going down with it. Leave now and act like your conscience got the better of you, you just had to come clean, and you just might survive this ship wreck. Bon Voyage.
So Anthony Weiner is going to resign. I don’t think anyone wins if the democrats pin their ethical standards to the ‘win at all cost’ situational ethics of the republicans but, there’s a practical matter at hand here. If David Vitters, who likes to wear diapers when he’s with his hookers, gets to remain a US Senator, while Weiner resigns for sexting, we have a little balance of power problem. Guess I’m guilty of same thing. I’m happy the ‘liberal’ media is giving Boehner’s dalliances with a lobbyist a pass since his ineptitude is such an asset for progressives.
Clearly for Murdock/Ailes spying is standard operating procedure
I don't think this is getting enough attention. This may be the perfect opportunity for ridding ourselves of these parasites.
This is a video from TYT that got posted yesterday. Ailes has bought some papers to run in his retirement. His employees have figured out that he's spying on them. It was known that management spied on employees at Fox News.
There is a huge spying scandal in the UK with a Murdock publication, News of the World. They spied on celebrities, politicians and the royal family. Murdock has pulled his son out of the UK, it seems likely it goes all the way to the top. They've settled 4 suits for $1,000,000 each with a dozen pending. They've set up a fund of 20 million to pay off more suits. They bribed cops to keep it quiet. This could be the end of Murdock in the UK.
Spying is standard operating procedure for Murdock/Ailes. If they were doing it there, they're doing it here. Where there's smoke there's fire.
The GOP is toast without it's propaganda wing. There's something to this. Alert the sharks damnit!! There's blood in the water!
Mainstream Media Spokesmodel/GOP talking head: We can't raise taxes on the wealthy while we're in a recession. It will stifle the economy and slow job growth.
Any progressive smart enough to tie his shoes: The conditions that supply side economics suggest will stimulate the economy, more wealth in the hands of the wealthy, have existed for a decade. And here we are, the worst economy since the Great Depression. Supply side economics is a load of crap. Let's tax the wealthy, start rebuilding our infrastructure and paying down the national dept. See, you actually can tax your way to prosperity, because economies are stimulated from the bottom up, not the top down.
I'm a simple guy, OK. Have I got this wrong? Isn't it just that simple? Why aren't I hearing this said every day?
This is how stupid your leaders think you are. Muslims make up 0.6% of the population in America. Christians make up 78.5% of the population. If we haven’t let you plant your crucifix on the court house lawn, like you've been trying to do forever, do you really think for a second we’re going to let them plant their crescent? We’re going to throw out the separation of church and state for half of one percent of the population when we won’t do it for over three quarters of the population? Wake the hell up. You’re being played for fools. They’re distracting you with the boogie man while they’re stealing you blind.
Think about this. The Koch brothers split 11.5 billion last year. That's $5.25 billion each. That's 5,250 million. Let's say Tom Cruise makes $20 million a movie. If most people had that kind of money they'd buy a fat house, a fat second house, a fat boat and very nice couple of cars. So let's say they'd get $5 million in goodies and live large off the interest happily ever after. That's $20 million. Tom could do about 3 of those a year so he'll bank about $60 million. Peanuts, chump change, walking around money.
Tom Cruise is going to have to make 262.5 movies next year to pull down what one of the Koch brothers got last year. He's going to have to make a movie about every day and a half to keep up.
A Rod, highest paid athlete in the world. Ten year contract for $275 million. That's 27.5 million a year. I hope A Rod's legs hold out because he's going to have to play another 191 seasons to pull down what one of the Koch brothers did last year.
And yet, they need more. They think YOU are earning too much. You with your little house and your little kids and your little doctor bills and your hopes of someday retiring, YOU are earning too much money. And it's costing them. YOU are the greedy one. Get it? These are sick men. They have wealth beyond any imagining and yet they wake up every day thinking about how they can take more from you, how they can make the lives of others more miserable. They will never be satisfied. It is a character disorder and it will never be repaired. They're souls are empty places and YOU must pay in suffering to fulfill that emptiness. They will never stop.
And they have limitless money with which to buy armies of boot licks like Scott Walker and armies of snake oil salesmen like Bill'O and Shawn and Glenn. More soulless men who should be selling slicer dicers in a Kmart but now enjoy duping the public into self destruction for tens of millions per year. I hope America is finally waking up to realize that they are fighting against broken men who hate beyond imagining.
