TEHRAN, Iran - The lawyer for an Iranian-American student detained in Tehran said his client has been released on bail.

Mohammad Ali Dadkhah said Tuesday that Esha Momeni was released Monday evening on $200,000 bail.

The lawyer said the 28-year-old student at California State University planned to leave for the U.S. as soon as possible.

He said authorities had not imposed a travel ban on Momeni. But, he said, she could still go to trial on unspecified "security charges."

Momeni's father said he put up the deed to the family's Tehran apartment to cover the bail.

Momeni was detained on Oct. 15. Activists believe she was arrested for her involvement in a women's rights campaign.

I'd like opinions of where you get your news, what stations do you find give an equal balance.  Please don't bash other stations because as for as many acronyms as I have heard about one news station, I've heard equal many about the others. 

I don't watch Fox or MSNBC - those two are so blatanly biased.  I used to watch CNN until the Clinton's got in, then they became the Clinton News Network, never reporting the truth about the goings on of that administration.  Today I thought I'd go back to them to see if they calmed it down a bit with the love affair with the Clinton, but sure enough today I heard Wolf Blitzer say "Is the decade of Clinton bashing over".  I'm just flabbergasted and astounded at the complete ignorance of that station.  Ever since the Clinton's came into action the media has fallen over backwards with their love affair for them.  So, this morning I realized that all three stations, Fox, MSNBC, and CNN won't do it for me.

Where do you all get your news and why do you like it.

put together by a private citizen (not the McCain campaign), the same guy who was behind the swift boat ads against Kerry.  They could have run it and they chose not to.  Good for them!  I admit, there is cause for concern about Obama's connection to Ayers, but that kind of ad where it is mean accusation and innuendo with no real proof shouldn't be run, in my opinion.  Good for them for stepping up.   

I was surfing a bit this morning and found this news article from N. Korea. I doubt things will cool off for a long time, if ever. The article headlines state: "Lee Myung-Bak's Group Military Provocations Blasted. From there, it calls him a puppet war monger and states how Myung-Bak outbursts "over the non-existant provocation (my emphasis) by the North."

Very good discussion of the political ramifications of the current governmental failure in this emergency - includes New York Times columnist David Brooks, a Republican with some rather surprisingly accurate statements.

Part of an interesting article on housing market upswing - inflation slowing down. Good news if it stays the course!

A propanganda machine for repubs.  No one is obligated to appear on that network.  There are plenty of other media outlets. Fox's ratings are dropping and MSNC's are climbing.  Fox disguises these facts by including their entertainment ratings in with their "news" ratings.  As far as ALL OTHER MEDIA being liberal, that is a transparent technique to keep viewers from getting opinions from ANY OTHER source than Fox.  I certainly wouldn't fall for that bunko.  I also notice that they concentrate on certain sites such as Media Matters and NY Times specifically because those sites are excellent at presenting the truth about distorted information disseminated by the propaganda machine. To each his own.

Sorry, I'm conservative, but have to ask why you would go down that road when you can find those answers yourself.

Might I suggest worldnetdaily.com, townhall.com, drudgereport.com, breitbart.com, talk radio (and the hosts' web sites, including Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Savage, Levin, Michelle Malkin, Rush, etc.).  There are countless news stories that never make the mainstream media.

Another thing to consider is who a person keeps for company.  When questionable names keep coming up (Pflager, Rezko, Wright, Ayers, Dohrn, etc.), that would concern me if I were considering any kind of relationship with someone, but that's just me.

Those who support Obama get their news from MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and so on.  Those networks alone have been proven repeatedly to be biased.  All the times that McCain went abroad, where were Couric, Gibson, and Williams?  Why would any American think that the Democrats, who are determined to reinstate Fairness Doctrine, think that it won't come back and bite them?  Why should any American be silenced just because one group disagrees with another?

Do you know what is posted on blogs like the DailyKos and HuffingtonPost? 

Lastly, a couple more stats.  The #1 most liberal Senator is Obama.  Kennedy is #2, Biden is #3.  Even the moderate Democrats are distancing themselves from him.  This info is documented and not fiction.

That's rather left of left, I would say.

I'm already looking for my fire extinguisher, but the truth hurts sometimes.

Trust your own gut.

You have more options now than anytime in history to gather information.  You can gather information from both sides of the issue and verify the facts and then make your own decision based on your personal values.

Israel is getting ready to invade Gaza and is already in the process of bombing raids.  Meanwhile the current US administration (aka Bush/Condi/Cheney/etc) is perpetuating the lies about Gaza, such as who is the real terrorist, ignoring a legitimate democratically elected council, etc.  The OP explains all this.  Bottom line is that the US is giving Israel a green light, which to some of us (as well as a large portion of the world) is condoning genocide. 

And Americans wonder why the rest of the world has such a bad opinion of us.

I'm not responsible for that.  Having said that though I do think that as a whole people are more tolerant (I wouldn't go so far as to say accepting).  However, that doesn't diminish the fact that violence against homosexuals is still a prevalent crime.

I actually do wish more people would teach their children as you described above.  If that were happening, none of this would be an issue and there would be no need to take it to the schools. 

Let's take Patty, for example.  She has already said that yes, she does call homosexuals names in front of her kids.  She does this at the same time that she's spouting out references to the Bible.  So what do you think her kids think?  Maybe that it's God's will that they call homosexuals names?  I don't know what they're supposed to think or how they are supposed to act given her example.  Do you think she's teaching tolerance?  If not, who will if not the schools?
