Never heard them complain when Bush was flying around campaigning. Let's see the House pass a bill that will not allow a President to travel on the taxpayers dime during a election year. You won't hear a peep out of them. Republicans are nothing but two faced hypocrites that are just like their present Presidential nominee is.

Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch has partnered with Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal to launch a new 24-hour news network for the Arab world, a move that has drawn mockery from Murdoch's critics and questions from media experts. First and foremost among those questions is whether a news service linked to the famously pro-Israeli Fox News will resonate among Arab viewers.

"Fox News, famous for its uncomplicated, gung-ho and pro-Israel stance whilst maintaining a mocking notion of neutrality, does not seem like a likely partner" for the Middle Eastern news network, writes David Roberts at the Gulf Blog. "Their coverage of Middle Eastern issues is far from renowned or competent."

The new channel, based in Saudi Arabia, "will focus on development in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world on the political, economic and social fronts," Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the world's 19th-wealthiest person according to Forbes, said in a statement. The network will be competing with the two principal international Arabic news services, Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, and "is going to become an addition and an alternative for viewers," bin Talal said.

Last Thursday, popular Fox News host Sean Hannity said the proposed center's leader, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, a U.S. citizen who has spent 25 years working to improve relations between the Muslim world and the U.S., wants to "shred our Constitution" and install "Sharia law as the law of the land in America." Sharia is a body of law derived from the Koran and Islamic teachings.

"Shred the constititution"?

Hopefully Sean's new boss will "shred" his contract.

News Corp.’s (Fox ‘News parent company) 2nd largest individual stockholder is Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. You want to see pure opulence, CHECK OUT THE PRINCE'S GOLD THRONE IN HIS PLANE: http://thinkprogress.org/2010/02/10/right-reb...

“In 2005, just months after Alwaleed acquired his first 5.4 percent stake in News Corp., Fox News covered riots in Paris under a banner saying "Muslim riots." ." ALWALEED ALLEGEDLY CALLED MURDOCH AND HAD HIM CHANGE THE BANNER TO SAY "CIVIL RIOTS."

Investigative journalist Joseph Trento also reported that a comment he recently made on a Fox Network morning news show, Fox and Friends, about Saudi Arabian money still financing Al Qaeda, WAS EDITED OUT OF THE SHOW! Trento also reports that Alwaleed "has personally donated huge amounts of money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers."

The prince also owns a $4.3 billion dollars stake in Citigroup, the massive bank that spent millions lobbying against financial reform last year. Nice to have your own propaganda mouthpiece in the guise of a “news” network.

Once again...no surprise...Republicans making a political issue of something that is done by every president, of either party.

Obama pretty much has this one in the bag. I don't much like a few things Obama has done in the area of welfare expansion, but I can't in good conscience vote for the Republican spinster who would just as soon spit on you as he would dine at Spagos with his ultra billionaire buddies. I can picture them now - laughing at the lesser classes.

And yet there are those people who listen to Rush and get their talking points there who will vote against there own interests. As they say, we deserve the government we get.

That's it? Really? A bunch of people are concerned about the numerous vacations taken by the Obamas. These are tough times and the Obamas are having fun on your dime. Where did you vacation this year?

I said it before and I'll say it again. Fox distorts the truth. CNN is more reliable. I question the patriotism of those who view Fox, knowing that they are owned by the muslims who can, at will, make a phone call to the network and have content changed, because of Mr. Murdoch's and NewsCorp's hypersensitivity to the muslim investment in the company. This is not a free press.

Daily Horoscope for June 19

Sagittarius

Don't be surprised if a member of the family is unpredictable or does things on the spur of the moment today. There's nothing to worry about because they won't do anything too alarming or disruptive. In fact, their actions will be like a breath of fresh air and they may even help you to escape from a current rut. So don't hesitate to be that little bit different yourself, either.
