Leftist network.
The Guardian? What about the Tory Telegraph?
In Europe there's a broadsheet for every political stripe.by contrast, the tabloidization (and perhaps i should say re-tabloidization) of the American media is in its infancy.
In the old world, it is already in full swing.
and however that may be, propositional truth bears no strict relation to its emcee.
Obama and the New Democrats are not Left in any meaningful sense. But MSNBC is all-in for the Democrats, without doubt.
Exactly. Gibbs is the s bag that said we killed an innocent 16 year old American boy without due process simply because they didn't like his father. Even Scarborough was livid about this just days before they hired Gibbs, and then he appears on Scarboroughs show and we haven't heard a peep since on the subject of the 16 year old
The Obama Era:
Liberal Fascism in America
Liberal fascism is an elusive historical formation; instead of goosestepping automatons, gas chambers, Stuka dive bombers, the bombastic Leader, all is normality on display, although, to be sure, some traces of the nonliberal variety of fascism remain.
For goosesteppers subs ute the seemingly more innocuous militarization of the total culture, under constant reinforcement, with Second-Amendment gun-rights zealots rubbing their hardware in our noses.
For gas chambers subs ute the structural reinforcement of gun violence, incarceration of an underclass, surveillance—admittedly far less painful, but expeditious in its social-control consequences.
For the Stukas, we actually go one better, with armed drones for targeted assassination, directed to terrorizing, as did the Stukas along with the closer analogue, buzz bombs, whole populations.
And for the bombastic Leader, we have the reformer manque, blithely at work in planning and executing assassination, smiling all the while and, now, advertising his “Fireplace Hangouts” in a phony effort to imitate FDR’s Fireside Chats.
Obama can begin from where the long-term formation of a dissipative consciousness leaves off, extolling “change” as the formula for acquiescence—submission to authority, war, assassination, bank bailouts, military budgets, false either-or alternatives in social policy, whatever it takes to keep the ship of, not state, but monopoly capitalism, on course. Why liberal? Because rhetoric trumps reality, and the attachment of leader and led is bound up in an apolitical moral vacuum, affecting each, altogether resistant to critical thinking and analysis.
Yet more, liberalism has itself demonstrated its bankruptcy, as when, for example, a majority of the American people support the armed drone program. Assassination is cost-effective in protecting America from the Nefarious Other.
Whether we had created the conditions of international hostility to the US, is unthinkable. Better to plod ahead. Draw together in classless harmony. Celebrate America as the Land of Opportunity, as societal dislocation proceeds apace, whether unemployment, foreclosures, renditions, torture, nonregulation, crumbling infrastructure, gun rampages, or presidential unctiousness papering over war crimes, wealth concentration, and destruction of the environment.

Equating political opposition to the Nazi's. How novel.
--LOVE THE PUN--
didnt bush inherited a surplus, then somehow made it the biggest deficit
dubya triple the deficit, St Ronnie doubled it.
No, but that is the liberal rumor.
You Lie
the dotcom bubble and huge increase in jobs created under Clinton (jobs = spending and tax revenue) crashed just as extreme right wing SCOTUS voted in dubya and head. head was obsessed with repeating, before he took office, "the economy is gonna suck" so as to make sure dubya and he didn't get blamed.
For the first time ever, dubya and head started a war without raising taxes to pay for it. Deficit exploded, even as they tricked the accounting to keep the war off the books.
Don't forget Medicare Part D and tax cuts...all that plus a global war...on our kids credit card...Conservatives sure didn't seem to care to much about the budget then...For the first time ever, dubya and head started a war without raising taxes to pay for it. Deficit exploded, even as they tricked the accounting to keep the war off the books.
Not quite a disaster...

Nice slanted article comrade.

White House Wants Everyone to Know Obama Supports Cutting Social Security Benefits
Obama wasn’t forced to reluctantly accept cutting Social Security by Republicans. It is something Obama has always wanted to do and he is actively trying to use it to entice Republicans to support a grand bargain.
The primary thing that has protected your Social Security benefits from being cut under Obama has been House Republicans unwillingness to accept any tax increases.

Not quite honest, either. Particularly fixing the deficit.Not quite a disaster...
Economy?Not quite a disaster...
Jobs?
These are the two priorities for Americans in nearly all polls, but nobody in DC are prioritizing the REAL concerns of most Americans. DC can hear or see past the Beltway or Wall St.
