Where did “buy the farm” phrase come from anyway :)

Air Force terminology for a crash that wipes out the farm and must be bought and also refers to the demise of the pilot.

Maybe it’ll go back to being the fine non-partisan magazine of my youth?

The “farm” is a 6x3x6 foot plot or as we call it the grave

Drafted soldiers in WWI would talk about buying a farm when they got home but when they were killed they only got a 6 foot farm.

I got almost 2 paragraphs in before I realized I was reading complete pap from a leftist jerk.

I must be slipping or maybe it’s just getting too late.

Has anyone ever met even one of these global warming morons that can even begin to explain just how is it global warming works?

This is about National Geographic print. Murdoch already owns Nat Geo TV.

All of Murdoch's visual media holdings are held in 21st Century Fox and his print assets are held in NewsCorp.

A good example of this was/is Cosmos. The original Cosmos was Carl Sagan via PBS.

The new Cosmos(2014) with Neil Tyson was financed by Seth McFarlane but produced by 21st Century Fox and was aired by both Fox Network and the Nat Geo Channel..

This week, covered extensively by the media, was/is Dawn of Humanity, which was co-produced by Nat Geo TV and PBS Nova that aired on PBS Nova on Wednesday and available on the PBS website yesterday.

I’m happy about this.

Except now I’m not. Because Murdoch is not supporting conservatives.

Murdoch is supporting BUSH.

I am no longer supporting any Murdoch venture. It’s a shame too, I’m relearning television, without watching any Fox channels.

Shame on Fox.

“From 1965 until around 2000, I subscribed to National Geographic”


You lasted longer than me. I quit reading the crap they spewed out around 1979 when it became very apparent that the magazine had morphed into a liberal mouthpiece rather than the founding bedrock of geographical exploration and science.

Once in awhile in a doctor’s office I will run across an issue and pick it up to see if any change had occurred and find out...NOPE!

The lib media is worried about editorial integrity? LMAO!

I have a tree falling in the woods type question:

If I buy cable tv and never even plug in the tv, does the liberal media still get paid?

THANK YOU!

You beat me to it.

The Nazis were far from Christian. They just didn’t as overtly suppress religious institutions as the the Soviets, which is a very low bar.

As with most totalitarian operations, the real God was the State.

I received a gift subscription for N.G., it’s still, every page, a reference to “global warming” or “climate change”. Simply unreadable.

The Letists have hated his anti-Commie stance going back to the 1960s in Australia and then England.

As a kid in the early 1970s....I had an uncle who would come by once a year and dump all his copies of the year at the house. I’d spend an entire month reading carefully through each article and it was probably one of the five big enrichments of my youth

************************************************************************

When I was a kid, I went through the magazine, looking for pictures of uncovered boobs.

Pubic Radio, where you will hear about the testosterone fueled hormonal adventures of a transgendered butch woman on Easter Sunday morning. Where the game shows will make rude sexual comments and anti-Christian jokes.

Where liberal musicians will be celebrated and they pat themselves on the back for considering ‘all things’.

National Geographic has been busted on numerous occasions using photoshopped images (pyramids moved to fit together on the cover, zebras copied to make a herd, etc.).

Faux Science.
