It's not nitpicking to ask that a city newspaper use the language correctly.

It looks like they ran this through a computer spell-checker and it came up clean, ignoring the grammatical errors.

When someone writes such that the reader has to stop and decipher what the writer meant, it leads to an unpleasant reading experience.

If you don't care enough to write what you mean, I don't care enough to decipher it.

Conservatives should cancel their subscriptions to pay tv as well, that is until the day comes that you have to OPT IN to every channel that you WANT to subscribe to.

Otherwise “boycotting” CNN, MSNBC, HBO, Comedy Central, MTV, etc does nothing because you STILL give them a large chunk of your subscription fee every month (time-lies-warner-turner, Viacommie, etc.).

Obomba will be a laugh a minute. He’ll have us rolling on the floors laughing while the country falls into the dustbin of history.

Watch Mr. Smith Goes To Washington again. It was true in Frank Capra’s day too.

1984 and Animal Farm weren’t written about the USSR. They were written about Stalinists in the West who denied the evils of Stalin and condemned their own govenments in favor of Communism.

Frank Capra is still slurred by the Left. He must’ve gotten under their skin.

The Soviet people knew that Pravda was full of partisan lies.

But Americans are dumb and still have blind faith that our media is not biased to secure a political past, present and future for the Democrats.

Right. I need BET.

They should give us ONLY the channels we want which is less than half of what we get!

Let's work on this. I'll start today!

Bring your own literature to the waiting rooms. Let the other people see what you are reading too.

What I do is mark up the lib mags with my own comments. Hopefully it raises the blood pressure of any liberals who read them later.

The movement exists, the industry fights it. They don’t WANT you to leave the plantation.

Big Media pushes an agenda on the public.

Cable TV bill about choices: Legislation aims to allow viewers to pay for the channels they really watch.

“In most homes with cable television, the number of channels that people pay for can run as high as 60, 100, even double or triple that count. Typically, most watch only about 17 or so... Earlier this month, Sen. John McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona with presidential aspirations, introduced a bill in Washington aimed at making cable channels available on an “a la carte” basis to subscribers.”

McCain fighting the Beast may have been part of the reason they took special delight in stabbing him in the back after all of these years.

People think that the talk of purges is hyperbole. But the Weather Underground DID want political re-education with execution of those hold outs who would never accept the changeover.

Imagine if your internet bill went to Google, Yahoo, MS, AP, etc. regardless of what you used your internet connection for.

Actually, there is a PUSH to do that to, add an internet “media” tax where you’d be forced to pay for “music” by blanket fee. Of course the musicians that YOU actually like would never see that money because there would be no history tracked of whether you actually did any downloads or which artists you DID download. Same as the cassette and blank CD taxes didn’t go to the smaller acts who would be most impacted by lost sales.

Oh, theyll still record a token Republican rebuttal, but when is the last time they ask a third party candidate (Nader of Baldwin) for their take? It's all republicrats all the time.

MSNBC/NBC seems to be the worst, by far!

When the LA Times withheld the video tape they have of Obama attending a Chicago party for a departing terrorist, a going away party, that has got to be one of the worst examples of media bias around.

At this party, a dance troop of muslim boys, included in their repertoire, simulated beheadings of Jews and Americans.

The LA Times chose to NOT release this tape before or after the election.

Perhaps there were a few million Obama voters with some intelligence, who upon seeing this tape, may have NOT voted for a man who would sit and watch simulated beheadings?

Perhaps the election would have had a different outcome. It was wrong of them to withhold this important evidence, in any case.
