The “quasi-hypnotic influence” of television in America has fostered a complacent nation that is a danger to democracy, says Al Gore.
So Gore’s solution to this undue influence?
Creating another liberal TV network.
CBS, NBC ABC and CNN weren’t enough “quasi-hypnotic influence”, apparently.
By way of Sullivan:
Churchill’s doctor, Lord Moran, favored continuing the BBC monopoly. When he questioned Churchill about it, the great man exploded. “For eleven years they kept me off the air. They prevented me from expressing views which have proved to be right. Their behavior has been tyrannical. They are honeycombed with Socialists – probably with Communists.”
True again today. They no longer have a monopoly – but they still force Brits to pay for propaganda. This nugget can be found in “Diaries of Lord Moran: The Struggle for Survival, 1940-1965,” page 417.
Hmmm. Perhaps we should be taking a cue from Churchill with regards to our own CPB/NPR.
I’ve been hearing mumbing about this one all day, but this may evolve into a real scream fest. I’ll see what else I can find.
Looks to me like Judge Moore has some interesting allies, and the Moore ruling solved nothing for the Anti-God brigade.
“This isn’t about passing editorial judgment one way or another on [the Gore team’s plans],” says Diller, a long-time supporter of Democratic candidates. “There is simply a lot that still needs to be sorted out.”
I wonder about that one….
This is of interest to me because the columns I wrote from Fostoria were pretty much around the corner from this place.
I’ve forgotten my rebot had Fostria in the search list, to be honest…
Published in Toledo Blade –
A 115-year-old Fostoria business has become the latest printing firm in the region to drown in red ink. Gray Printing Co., which is among the nation’s largest printing firms, informed its 85 employees this week that it will pull the plug on its presses Nov. 26. The announcement was made after striking members of Local 566-M of the Graphic Communications International Union rejected a final offer to extend the current contract for a year. Charlotte Reffner, who represents 60 hourly employees on picket lines since Oct. 30, could not be reached for comment. Two longtime Toledo printers closed this year: Rad-Mar Press, Inc.
Don’t these union thugs get the message, yet?
Kerry isn’t going to take public money?
Kerry to opt out of Public Financing
Well, so much for the statement about how he won’t use his wife’s money.
Of course the other option is George Soros….
I know, the headline’s silly. I couldn’t resist.
I couldn’t care less about the show, frankly, but I found the pic of Boy George and O’Donnel together amusing. Since they’re both funding this nonsense, I wonder, if these two rather confused people are getting the message, yet; Nobody wants to hear from them.
I doubt it they’re getting the message.
If you’re wondering why these candidates are opting out of the public financing process, look no farther for proof than George Soros.

More proof Hitlery is running for President…
Looks like the idiot contractor that Time Warner hired finally got it’s act together, asnd the web page is back online.
I’ll be doing some updating this weekend, but other than another new BIT, don’t expect miricles…. I’m also instaling a server here on the home LAN which will about triple my capacity, once I get it working right.
More news from the Iraqi Frontier you won’t hear from the Mainstream press.
kerry lied.
Remember that ‘Rock the Vote” nonsense MTV put up the other night?
Apparently, i was laughing hard enough that I missed an onbious lie Kerry put forward.
A question posed in an e-mail from someone watching the debate on television asked Kerry what he thought about Clinton polling ahead of the current crop of Democrat candidates.
Kerry responded, “Well, it all depends on which poll you look at. I saw a poll the other day that showed me about 15 points ahead of her.”
However, when Kerry’s campaign office was asked the next day about the poll their candidate was referring to, his staff was speechless.
New Scientist goes a little further on the subject of memory, and CD’s and whatnot.
I'[m sitting and watching the ‘debate’ going on in the Senate and wondering if the real message is getting out here… that being how shalow the Democrats really have been. The subject is the stonewalling of President Bush’s judicial nominations. What the Democrats don’t want you to know is that nobody else in the history of the country has used the tactics the Democrats are to keep these people from coming to a vote.
Nobody.
So what are the Democrats complaining about? Jobs, and the supposed lack thereof. Thing is, the jobs claim isn ‘t true, either.
So what do we learn?
THe Demofrats are willing to lie to cover their underhandedness.
