Take for example the big three car makers - even if their workers worked for free, they would not be cutting much (less than 20%) of their expenses. <BR/><BR/>I opposed the bailout. Paulson at the time effectively asked for $700 billion with no accountability and may have loaned $4 trillion more clandestinely (ex: away from the mainstream media). Yes we do need a large cash infusion (I'm guessing over $10 trillion may be realistic), but we need that money to be accountable. <BR/><BR/>As for our media, I feel that there should be some standards on ethics and accuracy. They have an obligation to provide the most accurate news to the public possible - that is what they get their advertising revenues for. They have broken this social contract so much that the people should no longer, in my opinion, trust what they see on the MSM.AltandMainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014823246265859953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-34536024484926733862008-12-10T13:24:00.000-06:002008-12-10T13:24:00.000-06:00In response to the previous post: There IS no "lib...In response to the previous post: There IS no "liberal media," moron. The MSM is owned by giant, profit-hungry corporations. If you think that these corporations are more interested in spreading liberal propaganda than maximizing profits, you're a fool.<BR/><BR/>Also, if there really was a "liberal media," then the shareholders of these giant corporations would have to be in on the conspiracy, as well.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I'm sure these shareholders are more interested in liberal propaganda than they are in earning the maximum return on their money. Oh, and they've all been sworn to secrecy, too---otherwise, the "liberal media bias" plot would fail.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and right-wingers are, of course, forbidden from buying stock in these corporations, so they can't air their "liberal media bias" charges at the annual shareholder's meetings. Why, I know a Rush Limbaugh fan who just the other day was prevented from buying some shares in Time Warner, because he was planning to expose the Great Liberal Media Conspiracy.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, right.<BR/><BR/>You retards need to take off your tin foil hats (after you remove your head from Bush's ass).Marc McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105754072842852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-83718816626393146182008-12-10T07:29:00.000-06:002008-12-10T07:29:00.000-06:00No matter how you Liberals try to spin this, it's ...No matter how you Liberals try to spin this, it's clear that Obama is now tainted by the Blagojivich scandal.<BR/>Questions remain: what did Obama know about this and when did he know it?<BR/>It's time that we Conservatives take the gloves off and DEMAND that the liberal media thoroughly and completely examine this important bombshell of a story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-62451578921198228432008-12-10T06:22:00.000-06:002008-12-10T06:22:00.000-06:00An educated worker is a dangerous worker.Now we kn...An educated worker is a dangerous worker.<BR/><BR/>Now we know why the Powers That Be have worked to dumb down our nation's media and education systems increasingly over the past 3 decades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
