The Right Wing Media...

As I mentioned before, the far left tends to get very uncomfortable whenever facts are mentioned and discussed, as the far left has a very hard time digesting the truth.

When you are informed of the "real truth", would you be able to "digest" it?

Simply put, Fox news is good at what they do. They package their programs nicely, and do a fine job of glorifying otherwise disturbing stories. They pat their viewers on the back for agreeing with them, and berate those who do not...until finally the weak-willed amongst them caves in and follows their way of thinking just to be one of the "majority" again.

I know many of the more astute thinkers on this site already know this, but it is a proven fact that the vast majority of Americans vote the same way they did when they voted for their high school president:

On the basis of who is more "Cool".

People want to be a part of this new "Right" movement in America, even though there never was a movement to begin with. It was a combination of Bush being in the office combined with the rise of Fox news and their attractive television shows.

Though, in reality, Fox news is nothing to be taken seriously. How can you respect a news station that hired Geraldo "I hit get hit by skinheads" Rivera?

You can say a lot of things about conservative talk radio and many liberals are doing all they can to hush it up. Why? Because their socialistic ideas hinge on shutting out all ideology that is contrary to theirs. Meanwhile, you and I, the American Tax-payer foot the bill for their version of radio, NPR. A true liberal voice masking itself as an unbiased news organization. The liberals are more than welcome to jump into talk radio, hell I'd listen just to here their point of view. I have to admit that most of the time NPR puts me to sleep and when I do wake up its because something they have said is so far off the deep end my interests is purely astonishment. The fact is that I find most of their ideology is so contradictory, that there is little chance of taking criticism and still holding an audience. They talk about saving animals and then champion abortion of human babies. They talk about saving forests and then suppress the forestry department's removal of underbrush thereby causing mass destruction fires. They talk about halting energy plants until they realize Starbucks needs electricity and then try to force companies and the gov.into supplying it. Its all very good causes until one of them has to give up something. Babs Streisand wants us all to dry our clothing on cloths lines to save energy while she heats an indoor pool and sauna year round. Thats why no real liberal talk has surfaced. Its an ideology best kept out of the light of facts and truth. Its mostly like a magicians illusions, most of it is done out of sight and only a few things are seen on the outside. Why, because its true goal isn't for the best of the many, only the few at the top. Their view of socialism is exactly like the view of any country thats ever tried it, "its always failed because the right people haven't tried it" In my view, their are no right people to try it and it will always fail because it takes away individuallity and the incentive to strive for self-improvement.

here are some of Clintons accomplishments


-Signed the Economic Package, August 10, 1993.
The economy created 7.7 million new jobs in the first 34 months of this Administration.
-Passed the largest deficit-cutting plan in history -- saving more than $1 trillion over seven years
-Cut federal spending by $255 billion over 5 years.
-Made new tax cuts available to over 90% of small businesses
-The President's Crime Bill will put 100,000 new police officers on the street. More than 1,200 communities have already received grants to hire 27,000 additional officers.
-President Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act. The law, which covers over 42 million Americans, offers workers up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-guaranteed leave for child birth, adoption, or personal or family illness.
-Longest economic expansion in American history
The President�s strategy of fiscal discipline, open foreign markets and investments in the American people helped create the conditions for a record 115 months of economic expansion. Our economy has grown at an average of 4 percent per year since 1993.
-More than 22 million new jobs
More than 22 million jobs were created in less than eight years -- the most ever under a single administration, and more than were created in the previous twelve years.
-Lowest unemployment in 30 years
Unemployment dropped from more than 7 percent in 1993 to just 4.0 percent in November 2000. Unemployment for African Americans and Hispanics fell to the lowest rates on record, and the rate for women is the lowest in more than 40 years.
-Lowest crime rate in 26 years
Because of President Clinton�s comprehensive anti-crime strategy of tough penalties, more police, and smart prevention, as well as common sense gun safety laws, the overall crime rate declined for 8 consecutive years, the longest continuous drop on record, and is at the lowest level since 1973.
-Higher incomes at all levels
After falling by nearly $2,000 between 1988 and 1992, the median family�s income rose by $6,338, after adjusting for inflation, since 1993. African American family income increased even more, rising by nearly $7,000 since 1993. After years of stagnant income growth among average and lower income families, all income brackets experienced double-digit growth since 1993. The bottom 20 percent saw the largest income growth at 16.3 percent.
-Lowest poverty rate in 20 years
Since Congress passed President Clinton�s Economic Plan in 1993, the poverty rate declined from 15.1 percent to 11.8 percent last year � the largest six-year drop in poverty in nearly 30 years. There are now 7 million fewer people in poverty than in 1993. The child poverty rate declined more than 25 percent, the poverty rates for single mothers, African Americans and the elderly have dropped to their lowest levels on record, and Hispanic poverty dropped to its lowest level since 1979.
-Deactivated more than 1,700 nuclear warheads from the former Soviet Union
Efforts of the Clinton-Gore Administration led to the dismantling of more than 1,700 nuclear warheads, 300 launchers and 425 land and submarine based missiles from the former Soviet Union.
-Revitalized, adapted and expanded NATO from a static Cold War alliance to a magnet for new democracies, with new partners, members and missions; adapted its command structure; admitted Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic; created Partnership for Peace.

...well, he's a hell of a guy to, have done all that. I have been in the dark because I thought it was the American worker and business owners who put in 10 or 12 hour days. But no, it was one guy..all one guy who did all this. My hats off to old Bill!

It's just the ratings, you could be in a town populated by liberals and they will have a liberal media.if you have a town full of conservatives they have a conservative media just to make $$$$$$ and to keep the topic light.
and i do not tend to choose any sides even though if some one told me i have to.
and by the way the media in here is all mainstream just about mainly what's going on with celebrities
