Rancho Santa Margarita, CA - If you thought that the mainstream media's coverage of the 2008 Presidential Election was fair and balanced, hold that thought. Now consider the mainstream media's coverage of the Tea Party movement, or the smoke-filled back-room deals that resulted in the Sale of Stupack's Soul, the Teachers Union Bribe, the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker's Kickback and so on, that paved the wave for Socialized medicine. Not Convinced? According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website, at least 111 waivers have now been granted to companies, unions and other organizations that offer health insurance or prescription drug coverage with limited benefits. The same organizations, such as the AARP which heavily promoted passage of ObamaCare, now get a pass. What is wrong with this picture? Where is the media's outrage?
What about the $1 billion dollar/year bailout for socialized information going to National Parasitic Radio (NPR) and its parent company? The same NPR George Soros has been purchasing one soul at a time. The same NPR that fired Juan Williams because he makes statements Soros' does not like?
