‘Those in the mainstream media serve those that are providing them with paychecks’...isn’t that what employees are supposed to do?

Defiantly something I will save for future reference. Something I will ponder in the here and now.

I will say, on the last point, that is probably incorrect.

The fact is that the US has a broader definition than most countries as to when to count infant mortality, so it results in a higher rate of infant mortality noted and has an effect on the stats of life expectancy.

Such a good article, and then you have to ruin it with conspiracy theory nonsense like:

“Earthquakes are increasing”. No, they’re not. We’re still right on the average.

“Fluoride is a sedative/toxin” Technically, yes, but not in the concentrations being used in (some) water supplies.

“Cell phones cause cancer”. No, just no. Study after study has shown no correlation at all. The few studies that showed an increase in tumors have all been found to be poorly constructed, misinterpreted, or outright wrong.

Things like that will cause many to simply file your stuff right up there with infowars and rense, and thus be considered eminently dismissable.

Forgot this in my previous post. Yes, the US has a much broader definition for both life expectancy and infant mortality. If the US counted people the way other countries did, the US would be number one in both categories by a wide margin.

This is just a start...In todays broadcast Limbaugh correctly pointed out that most voters simply reflect their choice of candidates from information given to them by the statist media...It’s time to hold them directly accountable for the mess we’re in in a very forcefull way....Picketing the tv stations and newspaper offices...badgering and exposing reporter and editors connections to the system

Our infant mortality rate would be even worse if they factored in abortion.

Great article. I think I will send it to a good Republican friend.

Investors are pulling money out of stocks at an alarming rate.

That actually is a very positive sign for stocks, historically speaking. The 'herd' almost always gets it wrong; the contrarian usually does well by rejecting what the masses are doing.

This is why we need a a conservative news broadcasting company that is privately owned by a conservative.

Chicago has lost 200,000 people, mostly middle class, over the past decade.
They have left because of crime, lack of jobs and horrible schools. You will never read or hear of this from our liberal media.They refuse to report the truth. No different from Pravda or the Nation.

There is no truth in the Chicago’s MSM media. More of us are reading independent bloggers to get the real truth.
Those arrogant reporters and news readers ( network anchor men) in this city
have lost credibility. They are preoccupied with promoting the left wing agenda.

Most Americans believe the lie that the mainstream media is "fair and balanced" and is looking out for the interests of average Americans.

Stop right there for your answer to the whole media "problem". Doe-eyed naïveté in adults is culpable. I have slowly become more afraid of the American People than any politician, because the refusal to embrace Truth ensures a hardening of the heart (something only God can repair).

More one the "Such a good article, and then you have to ruin it with conspiracy theory nonsense like:"

The new CFL light bulbs are filled with mercury... and they are incredibly toxic and dangerous if they are broken

Exaggeration is a sure sign of a bad argument. "Filled"? Four milligrams is not "filled." "Incredibly toxic"? Not quite. Nerve gas is incredibly toxic.

I don’t know if you consider Glen Beck a conservative but he (I think) owns his GB TV internet broadcasting company.

It is by subscription but I you really want a channel that reflects your views you should be willing to pay for it.
