NPR (!) is asking whether the White House is right to unilaterally label Fox News as insufficiently journalistic.
Earlier today the vote was running 71% in favor of the White House’s position.
Participatory democracy at work.

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

It’s up to 88% for Fox now, with over 2 million votes.
The poll is dated October 2009. I notice with some amusement that, true to form in the left-leaning arena, a winner was never declared.
Funny how that works in on-line polls and schoolyards, but just try it during a South Florida or an Ohio election…

According to Wikipedia, “80% of Fox News viewers held at least one of three common misperceptions about the Iraq War; only 23% of NPR listeners and PBS viewers were similarly misinformed.”
So what is the Wikipedia article’s definition of misinformed? “An in-depth analysis of a series of polls conducted June through September found 48% incorrectly believed that evidence of links between Iraq and al Qaeda have been found, 22% that weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, and 25% that world public opinion favored the US going to war with Iraq. Overall 60% had at least one of these three misperceptions.” And who sponsors the polling organization? Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie foundations… Sound familiar to an NPR listener? So how does that make you feel?
Err, wait…
* There were links between Iraq and Al Qaeda… they just were more like feelers than actual joint ventures or operational control
* How many barrels of degraded chemical agents were found? Wasn’t it like 60+ or something?
* World opinion–I’ll probably have to give them that one, since China and India alone constitute a majority of the world’s population, and I think that most of them, if asked, would probably have been against it. Oh, and the leaders of France and Germany were against it, too, and that’s all that really mattered, even if they *were* bought off by Saddam…
All you need is Madeline “My Gosh She is Rurn’t” Albright declaring to the WORLD that we can’t let Saddam get nukes. If I had been the Bush PR I would have played that day and night. And world opinion: hell, 50% of China doesn’t believe or know we landed a man on the moon in 1969. How is that for an informed listening body?
Sorry, ran’t out. In-laws came over and I was forced – forced I tell you – into a second bottle of Pinot Noir.
Rurn’t?
Oooh! Did you see the high road they took after the tables turned!! LOL!
Obama refuses to concede. It seems that the ATLA, David Boies and ACORN guaranteed that the Dem election officials in Dade County can find 1,643,287 uncounted votes for Obama and 236 for Fox. Gleaning intent.
That might be true, but, Obama had a Judge throw out 2,875,611 military absentee ballots. He promised the Judge a spot on the Supreme Court.
They’re holding out for a re-count.
I just see the larger picture as a man at war with America: The culture, the history and business. This story (the actual NPR one) just cements where President Obama is.
Case in point: First meeting in the Oval Office with Republican leadership: “I won!” The entire TARP and HC deliberations: Republicans locked out, any opposing voices ridiculed by the Press Secretary and the President himself. Then, he attendeds a Republican meeting, says he wants to see them become more bi-partisan and a day (I think, may have been 2) stands and says he will get his HC bill pushed through (the only opposition left is the Republicans…so…what he really said was “You’re Number 1! (display Hawaiian good luck hand signal) to the Republicans.
“Words, just words” – Candidate Barack Obama, when addressing his plagiarism efforts I believe it was a window into his base line philosophy of life.
