they mask opinion as news
re: foley/potential congressional elections upset.

soledad o'brien just said that ABC news has many democratic operatives and that george soros has his hands in abc news. i'm not sure if she was relating a quote from someone, because the way she said it, made it seem like it was her opinion.

weird . . .

1. If Soros had influence there, he would have nixed "Path to 911"

2. They have been masquerading opinion as news for a long time
I think that when FOX hit the airwaves is when we started to see the changes in the way they commentated vs reporting.

4. true
lately, i've been watching news clips from the 60s and 70s.

a typical newsbroadcast in that time rarely broke from "news reader" mode.

the news was actually kinda dry and boring. utilitarian backdrops.

5. So George Soros sent the instant messages??
What is wrong with these people? Their guy screwed up and when you screw up, what happens next is out of your hands. Sorry but that's the nature of this. Don't blame me when you send disgusting IMs to underage pages and something bad happens. I'm really sure they would be looking for republican conspiracies if it had been Nancy Pelosi sending sexually charged messages to 16 year old pages.

6. I am sick of these liars.
They never let the facts interfere with a good story, er, line of bullshit. Propaganda masquerading as news. Remember, "We create our own reality now and while you study it, judiciously as you will..."
