On one hand, I wish reporters would just report the news, but on the other hand, who cares?

What a jackass.

What a terrible reporter. I find CNN highly unreliable for watching the news; their reporters and interviewers do their best to belittle things they don't agree with.

Lol, well not surprising I've never seen that reporter before, and probably never will again.

Maybe if the NBC, CBS, ABC, & FOX execs had the balls to get fat, ugly reporters, we'd actually get straightforward reporting.

But then again, the reporter in that video is about as hot as the boil on my ass.

slamming fox is good. actually, its even righteous. doesnt mean cnn is perfect, but fox is far worse.

Who cares?

Liberals and conservatives, they're all the same.
They're all corrupt and arrogant.

Why do these Arguments about the American news coverage always come up on these boards? People in the UK don't give a shit about what station their news is on...You never get people saying "I'm only watching BBC news cos channel 4 news is liberal bullshit"

Nobody cares....nobody gives a shit. Not to mention that most of the more talk orientated "news" shows aren't about news at all.

Exactly! Could not have said it better myself.

What major bullshit. U.S. citizens have a right to complain about the use of current tax dollars and future tax obligations.

Like I said before, let those pieces of shit companies fail...don't bail them out. Let people be poor so others can work to be rich (I'm talking about...out with the old, in with the new), let other companies get a chance to be created. Where did the roots of capitalism go?

I don't think she was harassing him. I think she was just pissed he was ignorant like most the other people there and didn't really know what he was protesting against. People get fed up with ignorance, which is apparently plentiful. I also love how you only bash the liberal media and are all about the conservative media. Go watch the Daily Show from last night, if it doesn't make you think twice then you really shouldn't be allowed to talk about politics.

Wasn't harassing him? She goes completely O'Riely on his ass.

On the Daily Show Jon Stewart played that clip and then commented that when Bush was pres, Fox news did stuff like that. Now that Obama's in, CNN has become "the Man" and is harassing protesters while Fox calls them "Patriots".

MSNBC used it as an excuse to make tea-bagging jokes.

Actually the Daily Show did that too.

Way to go for the guy that has the baby in his arms. The guy couldn't even lose his temper if he wanted.

question is, why are republicans screaming RAPE! when cnn for once in forever uses a tactic that is used on a regular basis and with more extremism on fox all the time?

Well there does need to be Government regulation or else this will happen again. But yeah, Flat Tax needs to be implemented but America will never amend the constitution.


So much for freedom of speech. Goddamn reporter wouldnt even let the dude give his say. just because you have a different view than what the President believes in, that makes you ANTI government and ANTI american? Bullshit. That is what America is ho. not family viewing...,that should be family viewing 101. A parent who doesnt teach their child to question everything is another parent who doesn't know what they're doing. Cnn suuucks. But so does fox. I hate brain washing propaganda.

I disagree. I think it's the exact opposite. She didn't know what he was there. He had a legit reason. I think he was even about to start into classical republican beliefs... (small government, etc.)

There is a really good book which explains the impact of news/newspapers on general public. It's called 'Power without Responsibility' by James Curran.
Around the world, regardless of what country you're in papers and news broadcasts act like some kind of unofficial government PR.

Riiiiiight, because he was impeached and got his vetos overwritten with 2/3 congressional vote (everytime), didn't appoint any Supreme Court Justices, didn't take a dump with civil libertie0s, and wipe his butt with the constituion. Oh, and he also knows what the female version of "dude" is.


Now lets go back to talking about your privates...much more entertaining than the US's first dictator.

Hey, had he been a dictator, the chances of him being mocked and ridiculed by anyone who wanted to do so would have been zero.
Bush knew nothing, he did as he was told. This is a man that had trouble putting a coherent sentence together!

Dictators are charming, well spoken, (mostly)well educated men with impeccable ability to convince people that their ideas are superior and correct, through systematic silencing of any opposition.
Dictator is not controled nor directed by anyone, he directs everyone and controls everything.

Bush, on all points above - failed. Being a horrid statesman doesn't make him a dictator. Just incompetent for the job.

My poli sci professor (of American Government) believes his speaking like that was to appeal to a broader demographic...being another form of manipulation.

He most certainly did that.

That's not true in any real system of dictatorship. It is impossible to achieve that.

Bush certainly did a remarkable job at controlling, though.

Really?

Who mocked Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot? Stalin murdered any opposition or anyone he thought might be opposition.

There are even photos which he ordered altering as he kept killing off people. He was known for being extreamly paranoid individual who thought everyone was out to get him.

But no, seriously, who mocked and ridiculed Hitler and Stalin? Which groups, individuals, newspapers...?

Oh, you're looking for official publications and other forms of public opposition? In that case, look no further than other countries.


And you honestly think that no one, relative to each country, mocked their respective dictators? Not even lil' old Olga?

he said he was protesting them raising taxes, the reporter then points out that he would be getting something like 400 dollars back b/c of it, and the only people who would be paying are the top 8% or fewer of Americans who are rich.

How does he factor in News organization that criticize the government? I mean, there's always both sides, at least in the US and to a lesser extent Germany (the only places I really know a bit about).

No, dude. You almost missed his entire point. Nowhere did you mention Lincoln in your post. No where did you mention the people getting to keep what they make (sounded very much like he was going to get into classical republicanisms). Nowhere does your post mention why those taxpayers are upset about the appropriation of the Fed money at the expense of tax dollars.

Just admit it, you're a commie or a socialist. AHA!

BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!




I've said, before, that I didn't want Mr. top 1%'s money. Sure, the tax system is not fair, as it is and he probably benefits a lot more from the system than I do, but redistribution is redistribution.

Eliminate income tax, badda boom, income redistribution problem resolved.

I think we are confusing what "he" I am referring to. You seem to think I mean the guy that was harrassed by the CNN reporter, actually I meant James Curran, the guy that wrote the book that lil b, who I quoted, was referring to. Otherwise I can't explain your reply to me, it seems out of context.

I'm almost certain she meant "within the nations they ruled".

I'm almost certain I was doing it for a laugh.

But if you insist, Hitler had plenty of opposition, and not just the odd and failed anti-Nazi group in Germany. The Blomberg-Fritsch scandal was Hitler's move against the German army's opposition of him/Nazi Party wanting complete control.

Opposition and open mockery are hardly the same thing.
Anyone with little history knows all dictators had opposition. Regardless how big or small.

Curran uses the British model, by the way.

You should get hold of the book since there are number of issues covered, but one of the main points is that the true censorship lies in that newspapers have not yet attained the complete financial freedom, but depend on different parties and/or individuals to finance them.

Curran does not say that there is one government controlling everything - on the contrary - parties control certain news broadcasts and newspapers, depending on funding provided for each.

So in that retrospect, they are unofficial PR for the parties that fund them...if that makes sense.

It is a really interesting book - if you like that kind of thing. You may not agree with it, but it is a great read. I'd recommend it.

But you seem to have taken them from failed, third-world countries that have repatedly failed on the world stage to represent every failed government model. What you really do is promote the failure of a given system on the world stage, rather than considering why it failed on that stage. You're blaming the stage and not the country. We all appreciate what Marx wrote, while totally abandoning it in favor of what it was professed to be by the "winners" of the war, but we've all seen that those two dynamics are failures. You blast any and everything America does as brainwashed stupidity, but fail to recognize that very aspect in your own opinon. Russia is not a third world country, it only chooses to be one. It chooses to be one because people like kasparov are mocked and held down by the same system you support. America's system has failed it's people just as much as Lenin's model has failed the Russians.

Look at the reporting of the events in the middle east as an example. People in the US are force fed the stupidity that the cold war is over. But what is happening now in the middle east is the last front of the cold war. We professed victory when the Berlin Wall fell and the Pope finally folded completely in half and another was elected, but the cold war is far from over. It was a victory in propoganda only. The US government told it's people that we had won a war and secured a victory, but the rest of the world didn't get to enjoy the reality of that proclaimation. The cold war never ended and everything we're dealing with now are the side effects of that conflict. We left the middle east in a state of premature ejaculation and the two sides unresolved. We built the middle east out of the segments of it's own past, and in our own image. Sadly, it wasn't the image they wanted. It's come back to bite us in our ass.

Why shouldn't the Russian people be pissed? They have been the negotiable variant of their rulers for the last 100 years. But their position is no less a result of American actions than they are of Russian actions. Don't hate America for their lot in life, any more than you should for being left in that position by your own leaders. America hasn't robbed the USSR of their rights and position. They've been robbed of those rights by their own leaders. And these are leadres you are now professing to support. Don't blame me for what happens in Russia until you've managed to accept responsability for it yourself.

Take a 'world history' class.

Dictators fail all the time.
