Focusing on the Big Lies...

Here is a video that got to me because of its clear headed-ness.  For the low information voter it is the Big Lie that has been bludgeoned by the talking heads with the repetitiveness of the message to keep them (the voters) ill informed.  Here is someone who KNOWS whereof he speaks.  The old Trickle Down nonsense is proven to be total crap.  Why would anyone believe what has already been shown to be false?  It is in the repetition that the weaker mind is captured and held captive.

 

Now, before you watch this you need a very good internet connection and to realize it is almost an hour long.  Robert Reich is a giant in the field of economics.  There is no question but that he has a thorough understanding of how the economy works.  I was about a quarter of the way through this when I figured I better start over with a pen and notepad in hand.

There are so many right winger ideas that are bankrupt out there that this is but one aspect of what has to be corrected. 

Faux Nooz

This is a post to get past what could turn into a very, very long rant but I will try to keep it simple and short.  For Fox (S0-called) News to say that this speech was Hate Talk is to raise my blood pressure several notches.  Watch the whole speech to see just how doctored this is.

Firstly, the entire speech shows what the doctored snippet does not show.  What Faux Nooz fails to get is just how pissed off the people of the country really are.  It is not exactly Hate but rather a lot of total disgust at the tactics and aim of the Repuglican/TeaBaggers and most of all the Lying SOB's saying anything they think will get their viewers outraged and mobilized.  To add that what the unions mean by, "taking the SOB's out" is something other than reporting the news.  It IS a political statement to get the Crazy Factor out of the government.  Facing the electorate this time around (in 2012) will take them by surprise if this is the level of the juvenile, idiotic and baseless B. eff-ing S. that this organization (thank you very much Rupert Murdock... a$$wipe) gives us.

Faux Nooz Strikes AGAIN!!

Read the comments to get a real sense of how pissed off the ground swell is.

The secondly is, we need some sort of fairness in media.  Unfortunately what the old Fairness Doctrine was turned into something that was anything but fair.  There is a NEW solution out there to guarantee fair REPORTING instead of money tweeked Koch brother rhetoric and (again, so-called) opinion.

Long, short and idiotic...

Here it comes; the idea is that I would ever write this blog is shaking me up.  It is about the level of frustration I am feeling about the propagation of lies in the political arena.  The slant on each bit of nonsense from the politicians is grating on my every nerve.  It's time to say something and to act.  That is the essence of why I would start this.  It will be hard to maintain during the times that I am out of the country but I will continue to try.  I do not have resources to become a political version of Snopes.com but I will feel better if something is said from time to time to set things straight.
