If you ask them if they bother to verify it, they either say no, they don't have to, or they say the sources you suggest are socialist sympathizers who distort the news!!! I put many of Media Matters on my FB but I suspect no one reads any of it.

I spent a great deal of time on this post because the oil spill is a story so big in scope, I felt it important that this very thorough fact-check be brought to readers’ attention and get as much exposure as possible.<br /><br />I would like to answer airth10’s and Sue’s question:<br /><br />“With all the lies and myths Fox News has been rolling out about the B.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004309077511856506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173973315363181140.post-62310131834648704062010-06-27T23:00:37.027-04:002010-06-27T23:00:37.027-04:00It's late on the SoCal Coast, where I am visit...It's late on the SoCal Coast, where I am visiting away from my SC Coastal home. I'm bookmarking the MMFA article for tomorrow morning's reading. Meanwhile, as always, it is so good to find a new Demwit post; I count the SC liberals I know on the fingers of one hand. It helps to know I am not alone. Thank you for link. (Bondwooley turned up on my site once, too.

With some conservatives crying and complaining about an Obama shakedown how could those Gulf coast conservatives vote for people who don't give a damn about their livelihoods and defend BP??<br /><br />BJ I am a Media Matters reader as well as Think Progress and Alternet, great sites for sure!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303260031729868857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173973315363181140.post-28189828232229542842010-06-27T15:21:52.448-04:002010-06-27T15:21:52.448-04:00Tiny watched the video and read the MMFA.

I think we all would agree that the nation needs a grassroots, concerted effort to end our “addiction to fossil fuels.” I continually place the ultimate blame of the consumer.<br /><br />But, this post is an effort to clear the air for my readers regarding certain media lies.<br /><br />I hope you B.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004309077511856506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173973315363181140.post-14854844227541266962010-06-27T11:42:49.231-04:002010-06-27T11:42:49.231-04:00As Obama tackles the Gulf crisis, he's told Am...As Obama tackles the Gulf crisis, he's told America that if we can win WWII and put a man on the moon, we can solve our dependency on fossil fuels. <br /><br />But there's a missing piece: the soldiers in WWII had the Pentagon and Neil Armstrong had NASA. What's the man on the street supposed to do to solve the fossil fuel problem? Is it time for an organized, funded effort? <br /><brbondwooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207905100428445925noreply@blogger.com
