The analogy is priceless, once that monster called News Corp is toppled, there will be no way to put it back together. TV networks and national newspapers and magazines lead American belief systems and values toward a cliff. No party is guilty for lying more, than FOX News. http://salem-news.com/articles/may032012/fox-falling-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may032012/fox-falling-tk.php Thu, 03 May 2012 14:23:00 PDT Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sent a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski asking the FCC to revoke the 27 Fox broadcast licenses News Corp. holds in the United States.

Why? Our government does not like the leader of their government, so for 50 years the strategy of our government has been to punish the Cuban people. Again why? http://salem-news.com/articles/april242012/sanctions-innocence-jc.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april242012/sanctions-innocence-jc.php Tue, 24 Apr 2012 05:21:00 PDT The fact that Ann Romney never worked outside the home is beside the point; bearing and raising five boys probably was work, unless she had help, which the family could well afford. She might have worked outside the home but “chose” to stay home and raise her family; but circumstances of most women do not permit of Ann’s luxury. http://salem-news.com/articles/april202012/romney-wife-kr.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april202012/romney-wife-kr.php Fri, 20 Apr 2012 11:47:00 PDT The seed of the Evangelical Movement in America is the Puritan Sect of old.

Call it retribution. Describe it as “chickens coming home to roost.” Don’t call it terrorism. Call it Blowback - the unintended consequences of our foreign policy.

It is hard to recall how many frustrating political moments have been quelled by Comedy Central's Daily Show; they prove we're not all crazy as the parade of 'news' items are led across U.S. networks. http://salem-news.com/articles/march242012/greek-democracy-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march242012/greek-democracy-tk.php Sat, 24 Mar 2012 14:31:00 PDT If you were a U.S. soldier in a village in South Vietnam murdering children and spraying bullets into the faces of old ladies, you're cool, you are alright, you're William Calley.

There was a sense of loss. A loss of 5,000 soldiers, a million Iraqis, trillions of dollars, and the demolishing of a country’s infrastructure based on a pack of lies by George Bush that Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction. http://salem-news.com/articles/february092012/no-victory-iraq-jm.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february092012/no-victory-iraq-jm.php Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:15:00 PST Pfc.
