Radio 90% right wing. Newspapers overwhelmingly publish right wing commentary. Sunday talk shows overwhelmingly invite right wing guests.

You don't know what you are talking about.

Conspiracy theories? Seriously!?! What an utterly weak deflection:

NBC

ABC

CBS

New York Times

Time Magazine


If Obama's prospects of re-election fall, so will the bombs.

Obama is going to lose by a lot no matter what at this point.
Bombing someone wouldn't help.

Are their any more people than the billion or so Catholics worldwide that he could **** off before the election?

U.S. media takes the lead on Iran - Salon.com
Look who owns the media, what their special relationships are, and how they go about selling the "Think Tank" clubs plans.

Indeed. Obama would not be the first Democrat POTUS to use war for re-election.

Clue : Harry Truman

I have been saying for years that the age of journalism is dead and the American media is nothing more than a bunch of driveby, celebrity worshipping softcore porn and non reporting idiots.

Another thing that was better in the "good old days" .... a media that actually reported news from time to time

Sounds like a loser apologist to me.

2. Yes they are, you don't know about foreign affairs do you?
Really? Tell us who NK has invaded lately. And also tell us how they possibly compare to iran.

3. So have we
It IS 3rd grade here, where because hte US did something you don't like or disagree with, then that alone eliminates all political capital the country has. Get a clue.

I call infantile what it is, and stupidity what it is. You just don't like when the mirror is held up.

Just go back to stormfront already. It is tiring to read your garbage posts that blame everything on israel repeatedly. You can not defend a single point, its the same ron paul moronic nonsense over and over: "it's israel's fault!"

Pretend you have a clue instead of a slew of mindless talking points.

Israel isn't bigoted, they believe in the other people's (Muslims) right to exist where as none of the Muslims want peace or to ever acknowledge the Jews right to exist. They only believe in Israel's right to be exterminated and that is a matter of record and why there can be no peace between Islam and the West IMO. Islamic nations need IMO to evolve to a peaceful state before they can be taken for more than mostly just moon god worshipping terrorists. There are lots of nice Muslim folks, but they mostly don't practice their faith all that closely.
You're trying to apply facts and logic towards a poster with no interest in factual or rational debate. It can only rely upon idiotic ron paul foreign policy talking points and "you're an israel firster" as a debate arsenal. Not much to see here.

Really? Iran is hardly front page news. Barely mentioned on CNN or WSJ. Whitney Houston seems a lot more prominent. People seem to care more about wanting to dance with somebody than go to war with somebody. I'm not sure I get your point.

And the White House takes it's talking points from corporate America.

The puppet strings run long.
