Why does the CBC dance for FOX Noise?
Ca$h.
In 2002, the CBC Foundation was given an undisclosed amount from Fox News and parent company News Corp.
Between 2003-2005, they gave the CBC somewhere between $47,500 to $98,998 with numbers for 2006 still unavailable.
The CBC needs to come clean and disclose how much ca$h they received from News Corp. for agreeing to dance for FOX Noise.
Posted by Christopher at June 26, 2007 12:07 PMas long as we have politicians beholding to money for their campaign, we will have:
1. lousy politicians, worse public servants
2. corrupt practices involving quid pro quo
3. no effort to change it for the above reasons
4. endless cycle of corruption and the sellout of the public
and I think your answer to that last question is yes. the demo's don't want to appear like they can make a decision. they will let their friends and colleagues, and in reality, co conspirators in the GOP, push the feeble lame duck into having to talk about Iraq. And bet it will only be talk, for they have all ready clearly struck the deal that allows bush to leave office with his war still going strong. the candidates are all viewing themselves in the robes of emperor. Bloomberg saw he could own america, now he wants candy.
but our wishes mean nothing. all the candidates have made that abundantly clear. it isn't even rational after 5 years of this nonsense. there is no concern for anyone to get out in front of anything on Iraq policy. 70% of us want out of the war. 75 or so percent think the entire government is out of control, out of line, worthy of change, etc.. and nothing that government does is in line with public sentiment at all.
what I like is that congress could do a lot. do it now, sure, no problem. but they play only the political time card. put in the session, draw benefits, do everything we can to destroy the republican party prior to the next elections so that they don't have to spend too much to get re elected. they don't even care that bush and cheney get impeached. unbelievable to me.
am I wrong, or am I needlessly crusading for a return to the sanity of even 6 years ago when it was only completely corrupt? back then we dreamed we hadn't been completely sold out
sorry, end rant.
Posted by oldtree at June 26, 2007 01:48 PMSomeone should prepare a highlight reel of the most hateful and outrageous material spewed out by FOX and somehow, somewhere, get it on the air. Get it to where people can see it... get it on youtube, myspace, everywhere.
Have the DNC buy an ad on SportsCenter and show it.
