NPR Rewrites Rathergate History to Cover Up Fraud

The sad thing is that I like NPR.. mainly because there is no other FM news station in my area.
But they do slant their news, mainly by OMITTING a lot of things or just in the choices of stories.

Music Industry to Abandon Mass Suits

Well, it's about time... the lawsuits haven't work..

interesting, this comes just days after Saddam Hussein's spokesman admitted the US did successfully invade Iraq in 2003.

The "One in 10 Jobs Tied to Autos" Lie

This has been soundly discredited, but people keep using it.

It proves the old saying that if you keep saying a lie enough times, people will start to believe it.

Was Choosing Rick Warren a mistake?

Kathryn Kolbert thinks so. but why?

The only objective negative thing that she can say about Warren is that he repeated the "lie" that marriage equality would threaten free speech. Everything else is just differences of opinion and belief. The left is all about UNITY and INCLUSIVENESS expect with people they disagree with. It's pathetic. (Has she condemned the lies and deception used by the pro-gay-marriage advocates in Florida? I doubt it.)

She simply doesn't want Obama to do what he said he would do. Be the President of ALL Americans and try and bring some unity and respect to Washington. She wants the inauguration to be a liberal/progressive party only...and somehow considers that unity.

The Fight Over The Fairness Doctrine

Keep an eye on this one too...liberal radio can't compete so they're going to cut conservative radio off at the knees.

Radio stations will shut down or switch to music or something because there just isn't enough liberal talk shows to run (or so I'm told)!

Church Plans to Make a Memeber's Sins Public

This article makes this sound like a horrible thing the church is doing. But is it?
They are following biblical teaching and apparently it was something the tell every member about.

Now, certainly it is weird that the Church is continuing to deal with this after she's left. But even that has a positive side to it, If a friend cuts off your relationship for the wrong reasons, wouldn't you keep pursuing them at least for awhile?

If this woman had a drug problem and was on a binge, should her friends in the church just forget about her? Well, this isn't a physical problem, but it is sin, and her friends aren't giving up on her.

But even that analogy breaks down, there are good ways and bad ways to deal with many different problems. This seems, from this one-sided slanted article, to be a bad way to deal with this.

Obama's Second Bill or Rights

Keep an eye out for this.. I think they will really try this and it's scary.

The idea that we have a "right to a job" as opposed to a "right to work" is silly.
We have a right to marry according to the rules set by society, but this doesn't mean society will provide me a wife.

Rights are opportunities, not guarantees!

Iowa high court takes on gay marriage - Crime & courts- msnbc.com

Now Iowa's courts think they know better than the people of Iowa.

It's only a matter of time, short time, before voters will approve gay-marriage, why do the courts need to poking us in the eye about it? I can all but guarantee you that the people who approved the Iowa state constitution would have overwhelmingly opposed gay-marriage, yet some judge can magically read into the constitution that gay-marriage is a right.

Regardless of you opinion on marriage, this is NOT how our system is supposed to work.

Atheists Want God Out of Kentucky Homeland Security

FOXNews.com - Atheists Want God Out of Kentucky Homeland Security - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News

This is pretty absurd. I'm all for public and government display of religious concepts like "In God we Trust" and "One Nation, Under God". But this seems to go a little too far.

I don't know why people waste time and effort defending stuff like this. It's one reason this country is becoming less and less religious. [This Post Continues after the jump...]

Disney accused of corrupting children's minds

I tend to agree with this, but I know of no way for Disney to do any better? Does "Veggietales" (a very good animated Christian cartoon) not also have 100's of toys and games and dolls and new DVD's for sale? Don't they make money off being popular with the kids.

Disney is pretty low on my preferred activities for my daughter. Too many of the the stories feature magic or spells or super-beings with no ties to Christianity, and in some cases, opposed to a Christian world view.

I prefer TV on Nogin or Nick Jr. But it's only marginally better.

But at least it's commercial free (at times). It's the commercials more than any of the shows or Movies that get kids to crave items. Limit the commercials and you're 80% better off to begin with.
