9. Too late the republicans, drudge, rush and the posters will

have picked it up from Fox and in three days it will be the TRUTH. Or so says Fox.

3. Oh noes! I just posted a duplicate thread!

[Pirate Smile]

4. Yeah! Jon just corrected it at the end of the show.

[Gregorian]

5. Jon always has to correct Newt's lies. I'm so glad he followed up.

I was pissed!

[liberal N proud]

6. His lips were moving

7. They'll just use any lie to bring his Presidency down and trying to reinforce their argument by

pretending a trial like this did not occur under Bush. I think sometimes Jon Stewart is so stunned by their lies he doesn't know how to respond. They say it with such conviction sometimes, they can even make a person who knows better doubt themselves. I think it might also be down to what Hartmann said, he only has Sanders on as Sanders will take touch questions, all others will tend not to return if pushed on any issue. With the imbalance of media it is time for a government funded news channel and that's not as bad as it sounds if the news is run independently. Something similar to a cspan channel that reports the news and does neutral journalism. It's how the BBC news is funded in the UK. Fairer news would give everyone a fairer shot. I heard the idea on the Jeff Farias radio show, sounded lie a workable idea to me, good journalism calls them out.

8. I thought Reid was a British citizen?

[Mortos]

10. Richard Reid IS British

Reid, also known as Abdul Raheem and Tariq Raja, was born a British citizen in Bromley, South London,<1> to Leslie Hughes, who was of white English descent, and Colvin Robin Reid, whose father was a Jamaican immigrant of African descent.

How hard is it to Google his name and find out?
