See, I can appreciate where that sentiment comes from but it's too easy to give up. :-)

True. Lately I have been reading the BBC and Reuters.

And, b.t.w. as i linked in another post, in the US the NSA indeed records every eMail, and every telephone call. It is not personally listened to unless there is something 'suspect' found by the algorythms used, but yes all can be read and listened to, anytime.
The new intelligence center that made this possible is in Wyoming, and i am sure you heard about it.

and with some common sense you can guess any of those words and sometimes they change daily. like after the boston bombing i guarentee the NSA tuned into the USA and their computers searched for "boston" "group" among other things.

It seems to be a common game to dismiss anything by anybody we don't like.

wikipedia has gotten better about what is up and now IIRC all edits and new submissions are checked.

but all news sources are biased some more than others. personally I only listen to fox about foreign news at times domestic example the very recent Moore tornado. for some things I will go overseas for my news since almost all major papers in other countries have a English version online to get a foreign perspective.

But BBC is euro weenie and reuters is Connecticut Canuckians so both must be liberal rags

I've praised Wiki in these forums in the last day or so. My point wasn't about any of those; it was that people seem all to ready to dismiss any story by saying "Oh, THAT source!"

How about, I do not care.

What about those jobs jobs jobs 2010 tea baggers, it seems all you care about is banning abortions, crushing Obamacare for the 50th attempt, instituting Christian Sharia, and letting (invisible spook in the sky) Jesus write the laws.


I bet that statement made me "a usual suspect"?


And if you are reading the NY Post for facts....

There is more bikinis and horseracing, than news in that paper.

Rupert Murdoch Tea Bagger rag.

The National Enquirer claims Laura is leaving George Bush because he is drunk, breaking news, no agenda!

1. New York Times, not New York Post.

2. Tea Partiers can hardly push any agenda when you Democrats control both the Senate and the Administration.

3. You only don't care because it's your side acting like tyrants. Progressives always seem to have a problem taking responsibility for their own screw ups but maybe y'all should realize that your lack of caring now will someday come back to haunt you.

Times, yech sorry, although great cover pics, always a corpse or some sick crap. My bad August

You democrats? I am independant, and voted for more Republicans in my life, between national and state elections, as a matter of fact Obama is the only demoncrat I voted for, I am all about Chris Christie! The republican Governor of NJ.



You misunderstand my compassion , and read it as "liberalism"

My I don't care came from the lack of drive in anyone to change the stagnation we are in.

I have passion, you have passion August, we are not too far off from one another, but our government has become a college frat rivalry...

If people like us, with souls, ran the government, we would find a happy middle ground, but these guys want victory at all costs, and pitting us against one another is key to us ignoring the graft, and oligarchy they have set up for themselves.

George Washington went back to his farm when done, much like the Roman General Cincinattus...

But once politics becomes a career, then all is lost.

George Washington went back to his farm when done,

So did Bush, Carter, Reagan.....

Maybe that's so but when both ends of the media spectrum are reporting the same thing it's not anywhere near an "end of story".

Depends on the story. To answer your question a few back, no one is claiming the story is false. We can say stories get quite skewed from news outfit to news outfit. Some don't report it at all.
