Does anyone actually watch these shows on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox? Everyone I know only watches CSPAN's Washington Journal on Sunday mornings.

I used to watch Meet the Press but stopped about 10 years ago or so. I don't even watch evening broadcast news anymore. Watch Olbermann and Maddow and sometimes Stewart and Colbert for news. Also check out many net sites for my daily fix of news.

Any chance we are going to hear about the 128 gay people scheduled to start being executed in Iraq this week?

Can you tell us more? God knows our mainstream media won't tell us about it.
I haven't found out anything much beyond that yet. I was overgeneralizing it as 128 gay people but the spin I've seen has all slanted it in a gay angle. Since it does have that feel to it, I figured I'd see something on it here.
I'm done linking. Sorry I didn't just save them all for one reply.

MSM sites are horrible and not informative.
I swear, I've been coming here for years, and even when I was on dialup this site didn't load as slowly as it does now. What's the problem? (And the new tab for every post is a total loser.) Other sites don't seem to have this problem, and even trying to close up AB and log off is crawl-time.
I may have to start smoking again to have something to do while I wait...

MNCampaignReport speculates on Coleman's end game:
A U.S. Senator's salary is $169,300 and the Minnesota Governor's salary is $120,303. At the same time, we know that, over the years, Coleman treated his home like an ATM, refinancing or otherwise altering the terms of his mortgage a dozen times in thirteen years, culminating in a $775,000 mortgage two years ago. Add to it Coleman's massive legal fees, including legal fees that can't legally (at this point) be paid for by campaign funds, and we see that Norm Coleman has a mountain of personal debt. Sure, Coleman did not pay for a lot of things himself over the years, but he still has this enormous pile of debt. And Coleman is not a millionaire.
Coleman turns 60 years old this August. There is no way that Coleman can pay off his debts (including that 30-year mortgage for $775,000 that Coleman took out just two years ago) on a Senator's or Governor's salary.
There you have Coleman's real end game. It's not to win back his Senate seat or serve the public in any way. Norm Coleman's end game is to intentionally force Minnesotans to be underrepresented in the U.S. Senate for as long as possible through endless appeals of the election result and subsequently secure a high paying lobbyist job for a special interest that could care less what the average Minnesota family needs. However cynical this may sound, it is, quite frankly, the most logical conclusion based on Coleman's actions. We'll see.
Stephie's alleged interview with UN Ambassador Dr. Susan Rice was as pitiful as it was unsupported by fact and so was little David's auto focus on the Meat Press...only difference??? One was broadcast from a new mausoleum and the other from a haunted crypt.

And what he said was, well, actually, when I have a conversation with the government official, I consider that conversation presumptively confidential. And I will disclose it only if they authorize me to do so. And it was it was an extraordinary revelation, because if you talk to government officials, and you only disclose to the public things that you know, when they allow you or give you permission to do so, what you're really describing is the role of a propagandist, not of a journalist. And yet, that was what you know, Tim Russert in many ways was. That's what his celebrity was based in. http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/bil...

HAVANA (AP) -- A summit of leaders from across the Americas won't start for almost two weeks. But Fidel Castro is already complaining about its closing statement. In an article published Sunday by official news media, the former Cuban leader said that visiting Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega had showed him a draft of the agreement the summit leaders are supposed to approve at the end of the April 17-19 summit in Trinidad and Tobago. It ''contains a great number of inadmissible concepts,'' Castro wrote.
Cuba is the only country in the region not invited -- an exclusion based on decades of U.S. attempts to isolate the communist government. Castro expressed irritation that the proposed statement does not mention the calls by many Latin American leaders for an end to such boycotts and for better ties between the United States and Cuba. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/04/05/worl...
We practically have Vietnam in one of our treaty organizations, and we are celebrating talking to someone from Tehran... I don't live in Israel. What's with still dissing the one-foot-in-the-grave Fidel???
