Well, he could have said, "On my command...Unleash Hell!"

I guess that's coming.

A news organization with a political director.  What is wrong with this picture?
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I suppose I should have written, "A supposed news organization..."  It would have been more accurately descriptive.

Um, I think that means that he is in charge of political news coverage.

I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

YMMV. I have long believed that the true enemy of our liberty isn't so much the politicos. I believe it's the liberal media.

Actually, those liars at the ultraconservative Faux News have been distorting the facts for YEARS to further their agenda - here are some examples:

Think about the time the Faux News anchor, when discussing the original AWB, used footage of machine guns being fired while he did the voice-over talking about semi-automatic firearms; when called on it, they said there was no intent to deceive, the network refused to issue a retraction, and then did the same thing again a couple of weeks later. (Oops, that was Tom Brokaw at NBC.)

Or think back to the time when the GOP took control of the House. The Faux News anchor - then still a foreign national - in a weekend address chided the American public for throwing a "tantrum" by voting out over 60 Democrats. (Just a sec - that was Peter Jennings at ABC.)

Well, you can't deny the bias when the Faux News anchor used forged documents from a dead man in an attempt to influence the results on the eve of an election. (My bad - that was Dan Rather at CBS.)

Hmmm . . . it turns out none of these were from Faux . . . errrr, Fox . . . after all.

Never mind.  ;/

The media are the 800-lb. gorilla run amok.  We're going to need some nets.

At the Dallas Zoo, when the gorilla got out of its cage and menaced folks, Dallas PD shot it.  No nets.
