Zuleika: Any intelligent person understands the concept of propaganda: you can take slices from anything, any source, and make them look the way you want. It is important to me to know what source or sources news comes from, which is why I watch news from European (several), American, Canadian, Middle Eastern and Asian sources. In today's world, wherein news has become money making entertainment, one has to be very circumspect. Also, it seems to me many of the people who post 'sources' here who are from America are posting sources from sites that have a strong conservative, anti-Obama agenda. These people don't even seem to realize how biased those sources are.

Zuleika: Here is the problem: the source is not C-Span, the source is the website: whose agenda is anti democratic party, anti obama. They have taken specific self serving excerpts from C-Span to support the agenda of this website, called NakedEmperorNews.

One of the things I learned in school when writing position essays is to consider the source of any information. If you want to provide information that is unbiased, go to an source that is unbiased. Which, given the current climate in the US, seems quite difficult. However, the second source you cited is NOT C-span. It is worse than Fox news.


Thats just the problem though Zulekia, they dont want to provide unbiased evidence, quite the opposite in fact. They are only into pushing their own agenda which is to belittle Obama and what he stands for at every possible opportunity.

In response to: Majority Would Vote Against Obama (One year in office, only 39% would reelect The Won)
Thursday, January 14, 2010 11:30:11 AM ·
Hotline Oncall/National Journal ^ | Thursday, January 14, 2010 | Reid Wilson
A year into his tenure, a majority of Americans would already vote against Pres. Obama if the '12 elections were held today, according to a new survey. The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows 50% say they would probably or definitely vote for someone else. Fully 37% say they would definitely cast a ballot against Obama. Meanwhile, just 39% would vote to re-elect the pres. to a 2nd term, and only 23% say they definitely would do so. Obama's first year in office has been marked by an unemployment rate that surged to 10%, an increased commitment of troops to...


For those who seem to think Fox news is biased, and only reports one side of the story or slants the truth, may want to consider this?

Fox news Sunday and Fox news Daily are the highest rated news sources, with the highest viewing audience of both left and right. Many from the left have stopped watching MSNBC CNN ABC CBS NBC, and have become viewers of Fox because of the balanced reorting. Those who consider Fox Bias, have not paid close attention to their braodcast. Like any of the stations listed their are certain programs within their broadcast that lean left or right.
The overall news from Fox has the highest ratings and largest audiences then most others combine. Not because it's slanted, but because it's the most balanced news available. Otherwise they tell the truth, which is why Omaba refuses to go on Fox, because Fox has facts not Obama talking points.

Here's just some of his 158 lies..
In response to: Here is a site you MUST see:
Obama's lies: 68 and counting

Some are:
1.) Selma Got Me Born - LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.
2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - LIAR, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - LIAR, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had
4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - LIAR, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades.
5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - LIAR, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.
6.) My Name is African Swahili - LIAR, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’(from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
7.) I Never Practiced Islam - LIAR, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years,until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.
8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - LIAR, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - LIAR, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience - LIAR, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn’t even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.
11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - LIAR, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.
12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - LIAR, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine.
13.)An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office - LIAR, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.
14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - LIAR, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.
55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - LIAR, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.
56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - LIAR, you still have yet to repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone,$22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.
58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said “Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.”
61.) My wife didn’t mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - LIAR. Again, MicHELLe’s comments perfectly sync with Wright’s, Meeks’, and Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.

Pocoloco44: You're very out of touch with the facts my friend..
Republicans are sweeping every election, while the Dems are imploding within their own rank and file. Many Dems are quitting and retiring before the next election, as they know based on polling they will be thrown out of office. The biggest fighting going on now is Dem on Dem. Republicans will take back over the house and senate in the next election, not because their doing a good job, but America has awoken up to see their lies and failures.


rolling on the floor laughing Save it...please!

Also, both parties have pulled off the epic fail. Stop voting Republican. What have they done? Same goes for the Dems. Freak...

You wanna play facts with me sonny? Tell me about how progressive Republicans are? They have no vision. The end.

Clever Conrad!

Seriously, it's all shaping up for a dramatic change in America---a change that will not involve the same ole ideologies. Give it 20 years, and you'll see no Repub or Dem in the White House. And the same goes for the Galactic Senatehead banger

Yes I can here's a direct quote from CNN Co=Founder

In response to: CNN Co-founder: High Fox News Ratings Caused by Anger
By P.J. Gladnick (Bio | Archive)
Sun, 06/07/2009 - 12:22 ET

You just know it has to be killing the folks at CNN and MSNBC that Fox News has completely overwhelmed them in the ratings. In fact, the combined number of viewers of both of those networks still doesn't match that of Fox News. Could it be that the public is sick of the fawning coverage given to the Obama administration by most of the mainstream media and look to Fox News for providing more balanced stories? That is something that the MSM people just can't confess. So what is their excuse for the ratings dominance by Fox News? CNN co-founder, Reese Schonfeld, provides a laughably lame excuse in the Huffington Post. First he presents an accurate but painful picture (from his POV) of the cable news ratings:

Nine years ago, when FoxNews sprinted past CNN to become America's number one news network, I attributed its ratings gains to the election of George Bush and the triumph of Fox-watching conservatives. I figured conservatives would be savoring their victory while liberals were averting their eyes in disgust. For the next eight years, I measured political sentiment in the United States by comparing the size of the FoxNews audience with the combined size of the CNN/MSNBC audience. In this space, I even predicted, with reasonable accuracy, the percent by which Barack Obama won the election based on the split in the news audience.

Continued..
In response to: Now, seven months after Barack Obama's victory, CNN's ratings have gone down the drain. From May of last year to May of this year, CNN lost 22% of its total primetime audience. MSNBC was down 2%, while FoxNews was up 24%. In the key advertising demographic (25-54), Fox was up 31%, CNN was down 37% and MSNBC was down 26%. In hard numbers, Fox had 109,000 more viewers than last year while CNN lost 113,000. CNN averaged fewer than 200,000 25-54 viewers in primetime. Even MSNBC averaged more viewers than that.

And yet more painful ratings facts reported by Schonfeld:

Total day was nearly as bad, with Fox up 24% and CNN down 7%. MSNBC was down 2% in total viewing. Fox is beating CNN almost two-to-one in most categories.

Having faced the facts on the dismal ratings of CNN, Schonfeld proceeds to avoid the real reason why his network is failing:

There's no need to throw any more numbers at you--Fox is gaining, CNN is wilting. Why is this happening when the country still seems about 58-42 in favor of Obama? My best guess is the passion of those who detest Democrats, liberals, and in particular, Barack Obama.


Try guessing that viewers are bored by the constant Obama adulation that they see on CNN and MSNBC and want a more accurate presentation of the news, Reese. It seems that Schonfeld had hoped that younger viewers would boost the CNN ratings but they apparently disappointed him:

I had thought better of the television audience, particularly younger viewers who tended to watch CNN and MSNBC. But even that's gone now--Fox leads in 18-49 year-olds.


Oops! Back to square one as Schonfeld continues with the lame excuses:

Here are the best excuses I can think of: maybe a lot of middle-of-the-roaders have just tuned out on all the cable news noise. Maybe other people have better things to do with their lives than listen to pandering pundits. Maybe more generous souls accept that Obama's doing the best he can in a very tough job, and they don't want to hear the details because they know the stars are not shining on America right now.


Maybe the TV audience is growing weary of the MSM treating Barack Obama as Sort of God and want some realistic news coverage of his administration. But who am I to interrupt Reese Schonfeld when he is on a comedy roll?


any questions?
