anyone else fact check factcheck? They are biased to the extreme. Not quite as bad as old Softball Matthews but pretty darn close. A lot of their stuff is dancing but some is outright lies!

It certainly is no surprise to see Farrahkan out there stumping for Teflon. Six Degrees: Malcolm X to Farrahkan. Malcolm X to Obama. Wright to Farrahkan. Wright to Obama. Obama to Farrahkan. Not a stretch since according Teflon on the debates, his being a Christian is a "tool."

But but but, Obama is not a Black Muslim, is he? He is a black
Christian, right? He is Kenyan American, as I am Finnish American. We
each have American mothers and foreign fathers.

I don't trust them, either. I try to read both the far left and far
right, and assume the truth is somewhere in the middle. I check
factcheck.org often; they seem to be fairly unbiased.

I check websites like the BBC and Al Jazeera and RIA Novosti, too:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/

Ironically, Al Jazeera is one of my favorites....


I'm wondering what
about the coverage of the Edwards affair you didn't like? Is it that
it had to be beaten to death in a scandal rag before any mainstream
press picked it up?

I thought the days of the media keeping secrets were gone. I know, for
example, that the press knew of FDR's handicap, but the public did
not...I thought in this day and age of helos stalking Brittney, in the
days when a Princess is killed in a paparazzi chase, that we could
depend on the press to bring us the nitty gritty, the sleeze, if nothing
else. I was wrong. In two years, nothing was leaked...No one pays
attention to the National Enquirer, but perhaps we should..(recall that
line in Men in Black about the NE).. If the mainstream press can stay
in pocket on the sleeze for years, then how can we trust them to tell us
the truth on a matter in a timely way, like before an election, when we
need the truth to make a decision!?! It raises the question of who
asked them to be quiet and who has so much power that the media can be
bought off for years? It is a scary thing.
