In Reply to: Well, Obama picked her? - Nuff said. scary bunch, huh?nm
Just to show you how absolutely fascists this administration is, they have taken on Rosa Brooks. They have put this woman at the Pentagon.....what the heck is going on with this bunch of crooks at Pennsylvania Avenue? This alone should make EVERYONE wake up and smell the coffee before it's too late!
Now for those that aren't familiar with her sick radical ideology, here is an article she wrote.....
"If newspapers become mostly infotainment websites — if the number of well-trained investigative journalists dwindles still further — and if we’re soon left with nothing but the yapping heads who dominate cable “news” and talk radio, how will we recognize, or hope to forestall, impending national and global crises? How will we know if government officials have made terrible mistakes, as even the best will sometimes do? How will we know if government officials have told us terrible lies, as the worst have sometimes done? A decimated, demoralized and under-resourced press corps hardly questioned the Bush administration’s flimsy case for war in Iraq — and the price for that failure will be paid for generations.
It’s time for a government bailout of journalism.
If we’re willing to use taxpayer money to build roads, pay teachers and maintain a military; if we’re willing to bail out banks and insurance companies and failing automakers, we should be willing to part with some public funds to keep journalism alive too. In an article in the April 6 Nation, John Nichols and Robert McChesney offer some ideas on how to bail out the news industry. They suggest, for instance, eliminating postal rates for periodicals that get less than 20% of their revenues from advertising, a tax credit for the first $200 taxpayers spend on newspaper subscriptions and a substantial expansion of funding for public broadcasting. Meanwhile, Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) has introduced legislation to allow many existing newspapers to restructure as tax-exempt nonprofit educational institutions. And these ideas are just a start."
You can look it up; it's an article that the LA Times actually published. She actually thinks it's a good idea for the govt to bailout (own) journalism as well, so you will definitely get an unbiased view then! RIGHT!

David Brooks - New York Times - sm
David Brooks is an objective analyst and I believe his column in today's NYT is very interesting. I see him on PBS along with Mark Shields and always find him fair and nonpartisan.
Google David Brooks or New York Times and take a look at his article today.

P.S. about Greg Craig appointment
Greg Craig was appointed by Obama as White House counsel. Craig certainly has Clinton ties, as he represented Bill Clinton in Clinton's impeachment proceedings.
It's official. HC has accepted SOS appointment.
Completed vetting process. I think BC had to agree to withdraw from "day-to-day" involvement in his foundation to avoid conflict of interest.
Make an appointment with a a doctor
