POPSMcCain: "I really didn't love America" funny how Faux news derides Michelle Obama (out of context) for "for the first time...I am proud of my country," but actually _edits_out_ McCain making similar statements.

POPSThe "Dark Genius" of Fox News "To me, that's the smoking gun if you're looking for evidence that Fox News is as much a partisan political machine as a news organization. I think TVN is a great piece of evidence in that whole puzzle. And Joe Coors played the role of Rupert Murdoch in that. Basically, Ailes learned how to run a national news service. He learned how to get stories to deadline, he learned how journalists work the news, but most importantly, he learned from Coors and his associates, people like Jack Wilson, how to try and manipulate the news product. Because the Coors people, they wanted a conservative news service, they were frustrated they couldn't get that because it turned out the reporters they hired were too professional."

POPSLoose lips sink ships. In her preoccupation of trying to clinch the Democratic nomination Clinton, doesn't even try to curb her attempts at machismo. Hillary's loose lips will sink ships. I can just hear her mimic Dubya's "Bring em on!"... According to politicians like Hillary WE THE PEOPLE are all just a group of ding-a-lings... (This phrase was coined as a slogan during WWII as part of the US Office of War Information's attempt to limit the possibility of people inadvertently giving useful information to enemy spies. The slogan was actually 'Loose Lips Might Sink Ships. This was one of several similar slogans which all came under the campaigns basic message - 'Careless Talk Costs Lives'. ) Hillary's faux lips on the economy: Follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwWulcPmjBw

POPSRETRO MOTION LOGO onslaught — feat. "DVNO" + the originals So many classix here. Someone's gotta do a blog post breaking down Justice's "DVNO" video with a side-by-side comparison of the logos that get paid tribute to... HBO, 20th Century Fox, Stephen J. Cannell, etc. Also up in the air is that elbo.ws has a lot (164 as of this writing) blog posts re: "DVNO". May be a good place for me to search/aggregate music news in the future!

POPSFox Noise - News You Can Ignore Considering the extraordinary inept vetting that Faux News uses, this story comes as no surprise. Is it any wonder that the least informed are viewers of this fake news channel?

POPSNeocons Down but not Out--Watch It!
And here' why Hillary as Prez is such a bad idea: Though Bush and the neocons again find themselves on the defensive, the political battle is far from over. The neocons retain extraordinary strength within the U.S. news media as well as in the leading Washington think tanks and inside many of the presidential campaigns. Except for Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the Republican contenders are enthusiastic backers of the neocon agenda of an imperial United States with an all-powerful Executive who will subordinate America's constitutional rights to the waging of an indefinite “war on terror.” While all the Democrats criticize Bush's approach to some degree, the neocons view purported front-runner, New York Senator Hillary Clinton, as an ally who often votes with neocon hawks, such as Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Connecticut. Until recently, Sen. Clinton was getting foreign policy advice from “surge” advocate Michael O’Hanlon. So, if the early political handicapping holds up, the neocons could

POPSTen Clips A Day: Fox News Tries To Hide Bad News From Viewers? Faux News is loathe to report anything that would put Bushliburton in a bad light, even ignoring important news stories if they reflect poorly on the Bush administration and/or this war. As our household comes down to, literally, one week until the departure of SSG Dizzy for his third tour in Iraq (for 15 mos), don't be surprised to see more clips in regards to the Iraq war and the media perception/perspective of same (and not just as it appears on Fox).

POPSIf Fox 'News' was around to Report History
Yeah it would have been HisStory! ;-) Just like it is today! :-0 ! "Fair and balanced" if one equates reading lies off a teleprompter as 'informative and equitable' ... Who loves lies? Who cherishes lies? Who finds lies comforting & pleasing? Who is the father of lies anyway? So who do liars serve? And what about those who serve up or devour lies, thereby supporting, spreading deciets like a virus ... in the traffic of lies, does it matter if one originates the deception? If they promulgate false witness, support harm of those who have been falsely accused, is that not complicity? And how can one serve God, objectively, if they love lies, spread lies, support liars... ??? I think those who play with themselves and others are unwitting dupes who decieve themselves BEFORE they decieve anyone else. Just my opinion. And they serve evil, just like every liar before them. Personally I cannot stand lies. Or liars. MSM or otherwise. Thou shalt NOT is clear... lies, false witn

POPSWACKY WIKIPEDIA or WIKIPEDIA WACKOS This is interesting, Wikipedia information being changed to suit corporate vanity or worse corporate proselytizing. Now we all realize media propaganda goes into our brains daily to persuade us to think this way or that way. But our on-line gateway to immediate, accurate knowledge on reality being hacked by the likes of Fox Noise, Diebold Election Systems and even the CIA, is there nothing to be trusted in this Whacky World of ours? You've got to see this Keith Olbermann segment of "Countdown", it will help you to keep in mind that although, technology has given us dimensions, we still must be heedful of the fact that the vulnerable human mind is still behind the controls. "How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four; calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg. - Abraham Lincoln

POPSCongress Has Betrayed-Us All To my way of thinking, whether one approves or disapproves of the MoveOn.Org ad is immaterial. What is at stake here is our democratic right to freedom of speech, which is a part of our Constitution. And yet, congress decided it was necessary for them to vote on a newspaper ad in order to condemn a groups very freedom to express itself. Remember the statement "I might not agree with what you say, but I will defend with my life your right to say it?" What happened to that belief in our country? Can anyone now deny that our country is taking a turn away from what it was founded to be? How dare we send our youngest and finest off to war in order to protect democratic liberties around the world, while we vote down those same liberties and rights in our own country. This was a cheap political trick instigated by the Republican right who has fallen out of favour with the American public for supporting Bush's illegal war, by trying to play on a faux patriotism.

POPSHowie Kurtz says that Faux News can lie, and thats ok by him! And his "explanation" was not better: "Howard Kurtz: I meant that if a network wants to be a cheerleader for the administration -- and I'm not saying Fox is -- it has that right under the First Amendment. I did not mean to endorse the "misinformation" part, since I spend my career trying to hold news organizations accountable for misinformation. Not the most artfully put thing I've ever said. My larger point was simply that whether you agree with a network or not -- and there are some folks who don't agree with NBC, ABC or CBS -- it has the right to offer its take on the news. And is of course subject to criticism for bias and mistakes."
