News organizations covered up the JFK scandals. Is that "objective"?
Apparently, while searching for fruit, YOU missed the point. ALL news organizations covered up the fact that FDR was in a wheelchair... because it wasn't RELEVANT to the news! And few, if any, mentioned the "daliances" of JFK ( unlike the Republican crusades against Clinton ) because his PERSONAL life had no bearing on his "governance." AND because they didn't see a political advantage to demonizing the President of the United States for party political advantage.

I'm not the one comparing apples to oranges. I'm very CLEARLY comparing the biased, hateful, subservient reporting (with the intent of indoctrination) of today with the "civilized" reporting of a time before YOU were born. I STATED that fact and distinction. What part of "things have changed" don't you understand?

Perhaps, it is the part of history that you weren't around to experience! What you weren't here to experience, you can't possibly understand. Not even by READING about it on the Internet. So, don't even TRY! I don't BLAME you for that. I'm just clearly stating that you weren't here to "experience" news reporting as it used to be.

Now, would you like to continue to "school" me on the history you didn't experience... or, would you prefer to question my assertion that the change is the fault of YOUR generation? I don't care if you don't. Only ONE of us has anything to learn here.

Unfortunately, the ones who KNOW it, can't change it. And the ones who could CHANGE it, don't want to "know" about it. Not my problem, really. I'll be dead and gone before YOUR generation wakes up to it. And by then, I suppose, Britney Spears will be the Secretary of State! :hellno::roll:

I left this part in, Rev, because I feel I made a few valid points. But, I want to apologize for the tenor of it. Just a little "post Valentine's Day depression" I guess. That and the way Double L gets me riled up! LOL. Actually, I just don't like being told my comparisons are irrational. Sorry.

Why again are you claiming that this is supposedly a "liberal" bias? Lou Dobbs is actually laughing throughout it at some of the ridiculous provisions.

I guess I just don't see what your beef with CNN is. They're simply reporting on the most ridiculous provisions.

Honestly I'm a conservative republican and we all know CNN is biased towards the democrats and liberals.

I wouldn't know, because I don't watch television.

But from viewing the clip, it certainly didn't seem all that biased.

And with a little bit of effort on google, I found this article about the SOURCE document the video is based on. Note that the bill.... which probably/obviously never got passed in the Senate.... was almost TWO FULL years ago!

http://www.heritage.org/research/Immigration/wm1468.cfm


Oh, and BTW.... I was RIGHT about it being a Lou Dobbs video without even seeing it! :lol2::lol2:

Now.... if you don't MIND, Double L..... can we get back to discussing the PRESENT day catastrophes of our government? I really don't have enough home time / computer time to clean up ALL your youthful impregnations!

:lol2::rofl::thumbsdown::clap:
