Gallup Poll: Public Trust In Media At All Time Low June 13, 2005 2:25 p.m. EST Douglas Maher - All Headline News Staff Reporter New York, NY (AHN) - A new Gallup poll released today shows statistics that many in America have been claiming for the last ten years "credibility is vanishing from news". Between the CBS Texas Air National Guard story with President Bush,to Newsweek's mishandling of the Quran story,people polled with questions relating to credibility in the news whether it be in paper or on TV proved to be shockingly low. The poll stated people who have a...

Bumper Stickers for a Red-State Nation Bush: Selected and Elected! I'm a Republican. I feel your pain! Kerry and Edwards: Hair today. Gone tomorrow. What happened? He had a PLAN. De Plan, Boss!

On Friday (April 4, 2003), troops at a training facility in the western Iraqi desert came across a bottle labeled "tabun" -- a nerve gas and chemical weapon Iraq is banned from possessing. Closer to Baghdad, troops at Iraq's largest military industrial complex found nerve agent antidotes, documents describing chemical warfare and a white powder that appeared to be used for explosives. U.N. weapons inspectors went repeatedly to the vast al Qa Qaa complex -- most recently on March 8 (2003) -- but found nothing during spot visits to some of the 1,100 buildings at the site 25 miles south...

If one goes to the http://www.senate.gov site, and looks at the Roll Call votes in the Senate, it is very difficult to: 1. Find when both Kerry and Edwards both voted on the same thing (not necessarily the same way). 2. Find when Kerry last voted. 3. Find when Edwards last voted. The Senate and House both had special sessions on the weekend, but if one goes further back, I really can not tell if it is 30 votes ago, 40 votes ago, or even 50 votes ago, in terms of answers to the (1), (2), and (3). VP Cheney...

Putin: Ally or Terrorist? by William F. Jasper Counting Vladimir Putin as an ally against terrorism ignores his career in the murderous KGB/FSB and his ongoing support for terrorist regimes and organizations. ‘‘Lena Goncharuk, aged 38, said that she was the only one to survive out of a group of six who were ordered out of the cellar where they had been hiding and shot at point blank range. Resting in her hospital bed, her voice barely rising above a whisper, she said she had survived only by pretending to be dead." So reported Paul Wood from the Chechen border...

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow By ADAM NAGOURNEY Published: April 9, 2004 Even by the standards of the revolving door that is sometimes the John Kerry campaign, the arrival and departure of Howard Wolfson – the high-powered political consultant from New York – had to be a record. Mr. Wolfson arrived at Mr. Kerry’s campaign headquarters on Monday to work as a communications consultant. He was on a train back to New York on Friday to return to his post at a political consulting firm. Mr. Wolfson said that his sudden departure from the campaign should not be taken as any...

Tokyo (dpa) - Five school girls forced another female student to work as a prostitute so they could pay for a mobile phone bill, police said Thursday.

When an Elgin [IL] woman walked into her kitchen early Tuesday morning to make breakfast, she found a man wedged halfway into her window, hanging over her sink. Craig M.

His legs dangled over the driveway. Police say he weighed about 250 pounds and had a large build. He was dead when the homeowner walked into the kitchen at 5 a.m. Kane County Coroner Chuck West said an autopsy indicated Petropoulos died...

In an unusual step, Hamas yesterday issued a call for help to the Arab world, citing Israel's assassination attempt on Sheikh Ahmed Yassin's life and the European Union's inclusion of Hamas on its list of terror groups as the reasons. The organization asked for assistance in its struggle against pressure exerted by Israel and by the West at large, as exemplified by the European Union's recent decision to place Hamas' political wing on its list of terror organizations. A Hamas circular distributed in the Gaza Strip and on the Internet declared that, "in light of the continuing acts of massacre...

The suicide-murder at the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad and the suicide-murder in Jerusalem that targeted a bus full of families and children on their way back from prayer occurred only about five hours apart. They claimed about 20 lives each and also injured about 100 people. We do not yet know who carried out the attack in Baghdad, but we know exactly who destroyed the families' bus in Jerusalem. He was Raed Abdel-Hamed Masq, from Hebron. He was not the usual brainwashed teenage suicide bomber. No. In fact, he was one of the brainwashers: a chief cleric, an imam, in...

May 11, 2003 More 'Can I Help You?' Jobs Migrate From U.S. to India By AMY WALDMAN BOMBAY — In the early morning hours of May 1, American welfare recipients reached for their phones, dialing toll-free to check on their next infusion of funds. On a steamy Indian late afternoon in her air-conditioned cubicle here, Manisha Martin was waiting for them. Without a break, the display panel on her phone lit up. Kansas calling. Arizona. Alabama. Tennessee. "Hi, this is Megan," she said to each caller. "How can I help you?" In mostly southern drawls she had once struggled to...
