The national news will jump all over a Republican Senator getting a hand job in a public bathroom but they stay silent when a Democratic senator is cheating on his wife, who has cancer, and has a child out of wedlock. The National News isn’t NEWS anymore, its left wing propaganda. We can’t even get the straight up facts anymore. People are brain washed and spoon fed the news that ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and HOLLYWOOD wants you to hear, not what is really happing in the world. WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?
Hell I saw a hit piece on Michael Savage this morning on the Today show just because he said kids are being misdiagnosed with autism. The Today Show did a hit piece referring to people to boycott his sponsors. I don’t care what the hell he said, he has freedom of speech rights and the NATIONAL NEWS NETWORKS have no right attacking someone because they have the ability to do so. The power of the media is out of control. Quote, “Following the remarks, autism activists and parents are now calling for Savage’s job.” WHO IN THE HELL GAVE THESE ACTIVISTS THE RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH? Who cares what he said? Turn the damn station if you don’t like it. THE MEDIA IS LEADING US AROUND LIKE SHEEP PEOPLE. WAKE UP AND STOP BELIEVING THIS GARBAGE.
The Democrats have tried to compete with Conservative Talk Radio with Air America and it has miserably failed. So now these networks at every opportunity do hit pieces on them to try and get sponsors to stop advertising with them.
The Democrats in Congress want to pass the Fairness Doctrine to allow equal time on talk radio, while totally ignoring the fact that they dominate the National News, American Universities and local and state governments. They want to silence the Republicans and claim it’s in all due fairness.
Hell I can’t even download a conservative talk radio show off of iTunes without first filtering my way through all the Liberal crap first. Even though the conservative talk shows blow the other shows away in ratings.
How is this Democracy people? How is this Constitutional? How does this preserve our Liberties? The answer is it doesn’t. This kind of behavior is destructive and needs to stop.

Alan Butterfield is the Enquirer reporter claiming to have witnessed Edwards in the hotel for a rendezvous with his alleged mistress.

“For those unfamiliar, Butterfield is a reporter for the National Enquirer-yes, the supermarket tabloid-and is the one who “broke” the gay sex-ring story about Ed Smart and several of his brothers. The story was based on information obtained from unnamed sources. Later it became known that some unnamed sources were paid $10,000 each. In the end, the information proved to be false and two reporters, Kevin Cantera and Michael Vigh of The Salt Lake Tribune, were fired due to their involvement in the fiasco.”

We see the only drilling that John Edwards is interested in.

The Democrats do the drilling and the American taxpayers are the ones that “get drilled”.

If BHO picks Edwards as his ticket mate,and loses,the media and the left will say America is a racist nation. We will all know,however, that John Edwards is a political anchor. Just ask J. Kerry. It was’nt swift boats…it was that carolina light weight!!
