Those who want to believe that what the media says about which stories are real stories and can be reported by them seem to me to be wanting to cover up everything they don't like or want to deal with.

I think that we can see some real coverups of the year just passed in this article.

What was the most covered-up story of 2010?

This is one from the link you posted

'Don't give up! Get aboard the Stop Kagan Express'

And added to that

Kagan was representing Obama in all the petitions to prove his citizenship. Now she may help rule on them.

This is really ugly. Chicago Politics; and the beat goes on and on and on...
Once again the US Senate sold us out! Well, someone figured out why Obama nominated Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court.... Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the docket and search for Obama. She was the Solicitor General for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural born citizenship. He owed her big time. All of the requests were denied of course. They were never heard. It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it? The American people mean nothing any longer. It's all about payback time for those who compromised themselves to elect someone that really has no true right to even be there.

Here are some websites of the Supreme Court Docket:
You can look up some of these hearings and guess what?? Elana Kagan is the attorney representing Obama!!!

Check out these examples:

Another one you won't see by the media for people
who can not think for themselves

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.

Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

U.S. 65%

England 46%

Canada 42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:

U.S. 93%

England 15%

Canada 43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:

U.S. 90%

England 15%

Canada 43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:

U.S. 77%

England 40%

Canada 43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:

U.S. 71%

England 14%

Canada 18%

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":

U.S. 12%

England 2%

Canada 6%


I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare"
comparable to England or Canada .

Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans
must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."

SHIP HIM TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !

He is "elderly" himself but - remember his health insurance
is different from yours as Congress has their own high-end coverage!
He will never have to learn to accept "inconveniences"!!!

AND THE WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in
the private business sector prior to their appointment to the
cabinet. You know what the private business sector is... a real
life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt........ 38%

Taft.....................40%

Wilson .....................52%

Harding.................49%

Coolidge................ 48%

Hoover................. 42%

F. Roosevelt......... 50%

Truman..................50%

Eisenhower............. 57%

Kennedy.............. 30%

Johnson.................47%

Nixon................... 53%

Ford..................... 42%

Carter.................. 32%

Reagan...................56%

GH Bush................. 51%

Clinton ................. 39%

GW Bush................ 55%

And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is:


Obama................ 8% ! !

This alone can explain the incompetence of this administration! ! ! !


Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent!!! - the least by far of
the last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our
big corporations how to run their business? They know what's
best for GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me?

How can the president of a major nation and society...the one
with the most successful economic system in world history -
stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?
or about jobs when he has never really had one??! And neither
has 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers! They've spent
most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit
jobs - or as "community organizers" when they should have been in an employment line.

Gasp! You men to tell us that a Solicitor General is acting on behalf of the Federal Government in the Supreme court? Shocking! Unprecedented! Oh, wait - I'm informed that it's the job description. It's pretty much what a Solicitor General does.

Of course, none of your cases has anything to do with eligibility, something that even WND found out, but not before the email-forwards went out.

Birthers.

Jolly interesting, particularly as the United Nations have no such thing as an "International Health Organization" anywhere. There's the World Health Organization (WHO), and if you can find any of their statistics to match the drivel in that email forward you've posted, you'd be the first. None the less, I suggest you have a go at it.

In matters of health care debate, the "Investor's Business Daily" have won their fame by postulating (On June 31st, 2010) that

Of course, their experts failed to notice that Stephen Hawking

  1. Lives in England
  2. Has been treated extensively under the NHS
  3. - and has in fact himself credited the NHS with keeping him alive.
Not a publication of record in this area.

(Those email forwards? They lie to you. Deliberately. Somebody thinks you're easy to deceive. Doesn't that annoy you?)

The biggest media coverups of 2010 would have to be:

- Obama's radical far left friends and appointees
- the undeclared border war with Mexico
- the negative side effects of illegal immigration/excessive legal immigration

Well, yes, her name appears on those cases but it had some to do with her job at the time. It looks worse than it really is because of that, however, we all know how she is going to rule on anything coming up so send her back to that "old" job.

You have listed too much truth in that post. I wonder if there is any chance that a lib can disprove any of those statistics. Surely one of them will try.
