Reports early today from inside Russia suggest that a link exist between the Obama Administration and the H1N1 Virus.

It has yet to be confirmed, but sources inside several militant Muslim groups throughout the Middle East and as far west as China have been working together in an effort -proposed by the Muslim faction of the Obama adminastration- to bring about this “World Pandemic Scare and Panic”.

“The ends justify the means,” a person close inside the N1H1 Network Scare said yesterday. “We see this as a way for Obama, and all Muslims… to take control of the US government by Executive Order and forgo the whole legislative process,” The source further added, “If you look at the way they (US) handled 9-11, this risk of a Global Pandemic will have legislators hands in cuffs and Obama’s pen running dry,” -With all the Executive Orders he will sign- “By the end of November.”

There is also that little “bone” that they threw Obama for his compliance. HealthCare and the pending legislation. “If you look at it,” -HealthCare Legislation- “He -Obama- could have had a little piece early or right after he was elected, but he -Obama- wanted it all, so we suggested that he use the H1N1 scare we were working on as the hammer, and told him to wrap it all in one nice bundle.”

Reports throughout the world continue to tell us of thousands of deaths as the virus spreads like wildfire across the continent of Eurasia. But here in the US, the death rate does not match the scare rate and that has many US citizens puzzled. “If you look at it, he -Obama- has already got his toes wet with a couple Executive Orders that deal with managing the control of the outbreak, imagine what he will be able to do once we get things to fevered pitch.”

An unnamed source close to the Obama administration added today, “There is no doubt that we as Americans have a mindset that we can fix the world, no doubt. And now with all our efforts coming to fruition, the administration can now pull out the rubber stamp and make America a socialist country.”

Marion Valentine added…

It could very well be true, anything to further the progress towards Global Socialist Government. Isn’t it strange that Ft. Rucker whose labs develop countermeasures to Biochemical warfare, and develop vaccines was missing several “vials” of an undisclosed virus and 3 days later 20 polo ponies from Mexico at a match in Florida dropped dead… and then a few days later, even though it was not flu season, H1N1 broke out…..hmmmmmm

Who Will Police the Media?

Posted by Political Pyro in Media Firestorm May 25, 2008

In the consumer age of federally mandated regulation and transparency, no product can be released to the public without a series of intense evaluations, tests, labels, and warnings.

Make that: Almost no product.

Look on the back of a soda can, or a box of Twinkies, and you will find a federally mandated list of ingredients. In music, check out the latest releases by Lupe Fiasco or Ghostface Killah and you will see a parental advisory warning on the cover. In movies and television, look for a rating flashed before the credits. Video games are rated. Bags come with a suffocation warning. Small items are choking hazards. Coffee is hot. Don’t eat the lead paint. Not intended to be a cure…

So where is the list of ingredients for the television news media? Conservative talk radio is filled with hosts who proudly admit they are entertainers or commentators. They never pretend to be journalists. In fact, they are usually the ones screaming about the likes of CNN and MSNBC hiding behind a journalistic banner.

Almost no unbiased journalism is left in television news today. Political opinions and commentaries literally overwhelm the “news” airwaves 24 hours a day. What little journalism actually gets reported is highly filtered by network CEOs with a political agenda.

What is not reported is even more disturbing. “News networks” chose to ignore the Reverend Wright story until their hand was forced sometime after the Texas and Ohio primaries and the Barack Obama-William Ayers connection was completely ignored until George Stephanopoulos brought Ayers’ name up during a debate — and the media silence is perfectly legal.

Why has the news media been given a regulatory pass?

Another question: What is the standard journalism-to-opinion ratio that a network must live up to in order to call themselves a “news network”? Arguably, the History and Discovery Channels present far more unbiased information than CNN or MSNBC, and yet they do not purport to be “news”.

Maureen Dowd writes for the New York Times underneath the banner ‘Opinion’. There is nothing wrong or deceptive about that. I am not in favor of censorship. However, there is no ‘Opinion’ banner that flashes across the screen before Keith Olbermann launches into his pro-Obama tirade — or before Chris Matthews informs the world of some chills running up his leg. Why not? Are viewers expected to assume these men are merely offering an opinion, yet NOT expected to assume their cup of coffee is hot?

Americans hold the “fourth branch of government” up to a high standard. For decades, the words of Walter Cronkite or Peter Jennings were as sacred as the gospel. However, today’s news media is clearly different. Manipulation of public opinion — under the false banner of journalism — should be monitored by strict FCC guidelines with hefty penalties. Networks should never be allowed to have this amount of power again. Those who refuse to comply with these proposed new FCC standards should be forced to call themselves ‘Opinion’ networks…

In other words, CNN should be forced to call themselves what they really are… CON.

Now… Comments the post received.

Well stated! In essence we have no FREE media left - and this is a very dangerous place for our Country.

Thank you for this articulate discussion of this very real problem with the media’s calculated and biased manipulation of the news. I fully support your suggestion of new FCC standards. Until that happens, I will continue to boycott CNN, NBC and MSNBC. I have switched to FOX news for more fair and balanced coverage. I would have never believed that the network I avoided for the last 8 years has been the most unbiased in their reporting.

I, too, have switched to Fox for the same reason. I avoided it for many years also…but am finding out that it is the only network where one can get real news and not just biased drama!

Wow, I too switched to Fox News, they should run a poll to track this phenonmenon.
Just finished watching Recount on HBO, eerily similar to our current situation with Florida and Michigan, I hope Clinton doesn’t back down.

If this would apply equally to Fox and CNN and MSNBC and all the rest, that would be fine. I don’t think you really want that - you have singled out only the so-called “liberal” media for criticism, but the same can be said about Fox et al.?

***[Yes, equality for all. Not censorship, just accurate labelling. I omitted Fox because they have the best track record so far this year, but things change, so everyone should be included. — Political Pyro]

Excellent perspective. The media’s spite this weekend over the 1968 analogy was illogical and ludicrous. They clearly got ‘played’ by Senator Obama who needed a headline this weekend. The media now looks baited and foolish.
I too have stopped most mainstream TV and their associated internet activity with the exception of foxnews.com. I’m bored by NBC /Newsweek / MSNBC / CNN, I already know what is going to be said. My main source for substantive information now is smaller journals and investigative blogs.

If you’re interested in policing the public airwaves through making accountable the federal agency responsible for regulating such things, you will support Senator Clinton’s run for the White House. Because she will win in the general election. And that will be her job.

The elites in the media, DNC and elsewhere DECIDED who they wanted WITHOUT (public) vetting of THEIR nomineee by the press. The media has thus reduced itself to functioning as propaganda zealots of their owm making for their own agendas of radical leftism and diguised it in a person who is a perfect example of the meaning of the word charalatan; Barack Obama.

CHARLATAN: A flamboyant deceiver; one who attracks sutomers with TRICKS (deception) or (jokes.

Obama=CHARLATAN

the sickening way the media has promoted obama 24/7 is proof that political campaign reforms need to include the media too. even if clinton raised $2 billion if the media still endorsed obama 24/7 and ignored clinton that money would not help her much.

even when the media said it was all over for clinton she still had stunning wins in kentucky and west virginia proving how disconnected and manipulative the media is.

they have too much power and they have abused this power and used it against hillary. there needs to be more federal regulation of the media.

the dnc wants to roll the dice and run a black man at the expense of a more electable woman since everyone is disgusted with the bush years but i will vote for mccain if clinton isn’t running and if mccain wins i will call the dnc and laugh at them for running obama.

mccain’s hands will be tied with a democratic congress and he won’t be able to do anything unless the democrats let him. don’t be fooled into thinking you have ot vote for obama. that is more manipulation by obama and the dnc. punish the DNC by voting for mccain and ridiculing them when obama loses.

Cheney on Colin Powell: “I didn’t know he was still a Republican”

Former Vice President Dick Cheney took an extraordinary public swipe at Colin Powell Sunday, questioning in a TV interview whether the former Bush administration secretary of state was even a Republican anymore.

Cheney, appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation, said he was taking the side of Rush Limbaugh over Powell in the ongoing dispute in the GOP between the conservative talk show host and moderate retired general.

“Well if I had to choose in terms of being a Republican, I’d go with Rush Limbaugh,” Cheney told moderator Bob Schieffer. “My take on it was Colin had already left the party — I didn’t know he was still a Republican.”

A somewhat taken-aback Schieffer asked: “You think he’s not a Republican?”

Cheney responded by pointing out that Powell had endorsed President Barack Obama last fall.

“I assume that that’s some indication of his loyalty and his interest,” Cheney said.

Cheney, a longstanding friend and ally of former Defense Secretary and Powell rival Donald Rumsfeld, butted heads with Powell during the Bush years but usually kept his criticism private.

The comments reflect not just the the former vice president’s lingering dislike for Powell, but his strong preference for keeping the GOP moored to conservatism.

“I think we win elections when we have good, solid conservative principles to run upon and based our policies on those principles,” Cheney said.

And lets not forget what Pastor Manning had to say about all this…
