Fox News, the station that argued in court that they have the right to purposely lie, that gives far more airtime to Republicans than to Democrats, and even gives money to the Republican party, is advertising its new special report “Behind The Bias: The Liberal Media Bias”. It will be hypocritically hosted by Sean Hannity. […]
GE reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue. Their total earnings were $3.4 billion, but over half that came from the company’s banking division, whose earnings tripled from just a year ago. GE has recently faced criticisms because it paid no US taxes last year, and because it designed all six failed nuclear reactors at Japan’s Fukushima […]
Ezra Klein points out that the Republicans are continuing their run as the Party of No. Even policies they used to support, they now unanimously oppose apparently for the simple reason that Obama supports them: A few years ago, cap-and-trade was, if not a consensus position in the Republican Party, then at least one with […]
The Tea Party movement was largely funded and promoted by large corporations like the Koch brothers and Fox News, and one of their main goals is tax cuts.

What did we ever do before the Innertubes allowed us to instantly figure out when someone was lying to us. Here’s a case in point. Last week, Donald Trump appeared on Fox News and praised Reagan as one of the presidents he admired most. HANNITY: Who are our past presidents that you admire most? TRUMP: […]
If you think the Republican budget proposal written by Paul Ryan was bad — gutting Medicare and giving tax breaks to the rich — consider that it could have been worse. The Republican Study Committee (RSC) wrote an alternative budget that was Ryan on steroids, all but destroying the social contract and giving even larger […]

“President Obama wants to raise taxes on the country’s richest people. And you thought Donald Trump hated him before.” – Jay Leno “Donald Trump said he will not decide about a possible run for the presidency until after the current season of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ wraps up.

“It’s starting to look like Donald Trump may be a serious presidential candidate. If you’re in my line of work, Trump running for president for real is the greatest thing that has ever happened.” – Conan O’Brien “The White House is saying Donald Trump has ‘zero percent chance’ of being elected.
