More and more it looks like the News Corp phone hacking scandal is the
new Watergate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_hacking_scandal_comparisons_with_Watergate

While it is early for broad historical perspective, many commentators
have pointed out similarities between the "UK phone hacking scandal of
2011", involving illegal acquisition of confidential information by
news media companies, and the scandal over bugging the Democratic
National Committee headquarters in 1972, commonly referred to as the
"Watergate Scandal."

So when will the FCC pull Faux News licenses?

Not soon enough.

Fox News doesn't have licenses, dumbass.

Individual broadcast stations have licenses. Unless Murdoch's name is on
the license, they can't be pulled for anything he did.

Cable networks are not licensed.

Fox Broadcasting Company, a subsidiary of News Corp., owns 27 TV
stations in the US. News Corp. is publicly traded but Murdoch owns
most of the voting shares. He also is Chairman and CEO.

So, in theory, the licenses could all be pulled on a "character"
decision against Murdoch. But the FCC very rarely has used that
provision of the Communications Act of 1934 to actually revoke a
license.

A simple new law could solve all these problems:

Whenever a media mogul testifies that he "can't figger out how he made
billions by not knowing what was going on" his assets are immediately
seized and liquidated and used to pay off public debt.

It's 100% certain that he never did any honest work for his money.

Actually, the one thing that the author of the below article
_conveniently_ missed is a connection to the current presidential
candidate and the scandal, as existed in the real "Watergate scandal."

Did you, and he, _conveniently_ forget that?

However, the _current_ presidential candidate _does_ have a direct
connection to a "Watergate-type" scandal; multiple, actually:

"Fast & Furious", "White Gun," "SolarGate" and "CronyGate:" the ones
we _do_ know about. Maybe even "NBPP in Philly-gate:" that was caused
by an Obama minion: Eric "The Red" Holder.

Yet all you Liberals want to ignore _that_ "Inconvenient Truth."

http://thetrenches.us/2012/05/10000-to-anyone-who-provides-the-

You’ve failed, media.

You’ve had over three years to vet President Barack Obama. Yet
in three years in office and over a year of campaigning
beforehand, you have either been oddly uninterested or
purposefully ignorant of Barack Obama’s educational history. You
were, however, quite interested in George Bush’s transcripts.

This uncharacteristic absence of curiosity about an American
president alarms us. At $15 trillion, our nation’s debt is the
highest it has ever been – and it keeps growing. We’re not
convinced that Barack is as smart as you media elitists keep
insisting he is.

We therefore offer in reward $10,000 to anyone who provides the
college transcripts of President Barack Obama. Occidental,
Harvard, Columbia…any would represent more intellectual
curiosity about the leader of the free world than the media has
demonstrated since Obama won the Democrat primary.

Upon obtaining any of these transcripts, please contact
war[at]thetrenches[dot]us for verification and payment. This
offer goes into effect immediately.

Media, your stranglehold on the truth ends NOW. Let the vetting
begin.

Well, the FCC doesn't have jurisdiction in the UK.
And, I haven't heard about much of this phone message
hacking in the US, so far.

The FCC is a spineless fuck .. Now .. if FOX had shown
a woman's titty on TV .. or let the word FUCK out on the
airwaves, it would be a major issue. But federal offensives
like fraudulent advertisers over public airwaves go completely unnoticed.
.. go figure.

True story ..

Staying down in Big Ben Park,TX -- ran into a guy who use to
run a outlaw radio station for the community - a multi-disk
CD player that plugged into a FM transmitter - home brew gear .
( Big Ben is so large - bigger than RI, and away from
*anything* there is absolutely no broadcast radio for *miles* ...)
- FCC sent down radio tracking trucks, found && arrested this guy .. he is banned from owning anything that transits !

I agree Ed...and so the FCC does have a historical hook into Murdoch.

And this is a never say never case....Murdoch had to shut down the 168
year old paper he had (a very profitable paper) to try to save his
cable deal...which has not defused the situation. I expect when it
hits the American shores, it will be like sh*t hitting the fan.

Bribing foreign officials is illegal in the United States and we have
yet to see those charges bought.

What I am really interested in seeing is what the FBI
uncovers...within a large company it is common to do stuff in a common
way...do you really think that the American side of News Corp is any
different from the British counterpart when they are joined at the
head by Murdoch?

The other really damning point is that Murdoch is an on hands guy...he
was involved in the editorial content of the British press and you can
damn well bet that he has his fingers in it here in the United States.

One only needs to see the increase of Pro-Murdoch articles by right
wing hacks that are poured into the news stream now to see that News
Corp is very worried about what is coming their way in the United
States.

Well, David Cameron is Prime Minister of the UK (no such title as
President of the UK, Petey-boi), and he seems to think Murdoch had
influence:
http://articles.cnn.com/2012-04-25/world/world_europe_uk-phone-hacking_1_james-murdoch-rupert-murdoch-media-baron?_s=PM:EUROPE
"At the same time, Cameron was saying politicians from across the
political spectrum had been too close to the powerful media baron.
"I think we all, on both sides of this house, did a bit too much
cozying up to Mr. Murdoch," he told the House of Commons as his
government was battered over testimony Murdoch's son had given the day
before.

I understand your opinion but as I have said this is a "Never Say
Never" case.

No one ever expected the closure of the168 year old News of the World
newspaper either.

Or the arrests of dozens of News Corp employees.

Or Murdoch's BSkyB bid of $12 billion to be cancelled.

Or...well you get the trend...the list is long...

Murdoch is in damage control mode...and after the Brits get done with
him, the United States Government will start in and there is no reason
to doubt that News Corp is any cleaner here than in England.

And Disciplinary Committee. It's the official arm of lawyer discipline

Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and [current] U.S. President Makes Up
Constitutional Quotes during State of The Union (SOTU) Address. Big
surprise.

Consider these:

1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review , is
no longer a "lawyer". He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order
to escape charges he lied on his bar application. A "Voluntary
Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not
really something I need anymore, is it?" and forget to renew your
license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've
been accused of something, and you 'voluntarily surrender" your license
five seconds before the state suspends you.
2. Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993,
after a Federal Judge gave her the choice between surrendering her
license or standing trial for Insurance fraud!
3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady [trained
lawyers, but] who don't actually have licenses to practice law - Facts.
Source:http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/
4. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law Professor at the University
of Chicago . A senior lecturer is one thing; a fully ranked law
professor is another.
5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March 2008 saying
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school -
but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never
held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008. "He did not hold the
title of Professor of Law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant
Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago
School of Law . Source:
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html
6. The former Constitutional Senior Lecturer (Obama) cited the U.S.
Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address .
Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of
Independence ... not the Constitution (the B-Cast posted the video:
http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/).
7. Free Republic : In the State of the Union Address, President Obama
said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise
enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal.
Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr.
President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named
them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence
and it reads: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit

People keep saying that, but they never provide any examples.

All the criticisms I see of Snopes boil down to either "they didn't cover
my pet peeve, so they're biased" or "they say X isn't true but I believe
that it is, so they're liars".

So put up: post some examples of Snopes actually lying.

Their agenda is simply to ferret out the truth and counter the lies.
This is, however, very galling to those who's agenda is the opposite.

Fawning leftists during the 2008 campaign and since have shit themselves
over Obama supposedly having been a "Constitutional Law" [sic] professor
at Chicago, and take this to be a measure of his brilliance. First of
all, he wasn't a professor, he was a lecturer. He was not a scholar.
Professors do original research in their fields; Obama did not. Anyone
who has graduated law school apparently can lecture in law - Obama is
the proof. He never did post graduate study in the law, never did any
original research. Obama teaching in law school is akin to someone who
just graduated with a BS in chemistry teaching first year college chemistry.

Second, the fawning leftists keep gushing incoherently over the fact it
was "Constitutional Law" [sic], as if that's the only intellectually
worthy dimension to law school. Typically for leftists, they imagine
torts, civil procedure, contracts, intellectual property, and all the
other areas of study in law school are just grubby trash. That's a
silly and almost juvenile belief - but as I said, it's typical for leftists.

They don't take sides. They simply post what facts they can and reach
a logical conclusion.

I don't think Snopes lies. What they do is shade things.

There is an unmistakable left-wing tilt to the site and to the
Mikkelsons. Barbara Mikkelson, who does most of the writing for the
Snopes site, used to be a regular poster on a number of Usenet groups,
including alt.support.childfree, where her comments gave not terribly
subtle clues to her liberal orientation.

Can you show any actual EVIDENCE from a credible source for ANY of these
claims, i.e., for their supposed "left wing tilt," or "liberal
orientation" or how they "shade things"?

Moreover, even if there is some suggestion that Barbara Mikkelson once
had what others label a "liberal orientation" in her PERSONAL opinions
or politics, which they allegedly gleaned from her past comments in
presumably not primarily political Usenet groups like
"alt.support.childfree," that does not even raise a slight inference
that she must have gone on later to "shade things" with a supposedly
"left-wing tilt" in her work on Snopes. Far from it.

It appears to me that Snopes is simply in the business of examining
online myths, smears and lies, and then ferreting out and publishing the
truth of the matter, usually with their verifiable source material
included. Therefore, the more myths you spread, the more smears you
engage in, and the more lies you tell, or worse, the more myths, smears
and lies you want to believe, the more you are going to dislike or even
hate Snopes. It's as simple as that.

People who are more committed to facts, truth, openness and honesty than
they are driven by partisan ideology, political dogma or personal animus
seldom seem to have a problem with fact-checking sites like Snopes or
Politifact. Why do you suppose that is?

Here's what Snopes has to say about Snopes:

About snopes.com

The snopes.com website was founded by Barbara and David Mikkelson, a
husband and wife team who live and work in the Los Angeles area. What
they began in 1995 as an expression of their shared interest in
researching urban legends has since grown into what is widely regarded
by folklorists, journalists, and laypersons alike as one of the World
Wide Web's essential resources. Snopes.com is routinely included in
annual "Best of the Web" lists and has been the recipient of two Webby
awards. The Mikkelsons have made multiple appearances as guests on
national news programs such as 20/20, ABC World News, CNN Sunday
Morning, and NPR's All Things Considered, and they and their work have
been profiled in numerous major news publications, including The New
York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Wall
Street Journal, and an April 2009 Reader's Digest feature ("The Rumor
Detectives") published as part of that magazine's "Your America:
Inspiring People and Stories" series.

With over 15 years' experience as professional researchers and
writers, the Mikkelsons have created in snopes.com what has come to be
regarded as an online touchstone of rumor research. Their work has
been described as painstaking, scholarly, and reliable, and has been
lauded by the world's top folklorists, including Jan Harold Brunvand,
Gary Alan Fine, and Patricia Turner. The couple has been approached by
many publishers and publisher's agents about doing a series of books,
but they remain uncommitted at this time, preferring instead to
continue focusing their efforts on their web site. Nevertheless,
hundreds of the Mikkelsons' articles have been cited by authors in a
variety of disciplines (an October 2011 search of Google Books for
such citations netted 6,230 results for Barbara Mikkelson alone), and
various of their articles have been published in textbooks currently
in use in the U.S. and Canadian school systems.

Because snopes.com is all about rumors, it was only a matter of time
before rumors began to circulate about it and its operators, such as
the following:

Snopes receives funding from an undisclosed source.
The source is undisclosed because Snopes refuses to
disclose that source. The Democratic Alliance, a funding
channel for uber-Leftist (Marxist) Billionaires (George Soros
etc.), direct funds to an "Internet Propaganda Arm" pushing
these views. The Democratic Alliance has been reported to
instruct Fundees to not disclose their funding source.

The snopes.com web site is (and always has been) a completely
independent, self-sufficient entity wholly owned by its operators,
Barbara and David Mikkelson, and funded through advertising revenues.
Neither the site nor its operators has ever received monies from (or
been engaged in any business or editorial relationship with), any
sponsor, investor, partner, political party, religious group, business

Barbara Mikkelson is a Canadian citizen and as such cannot vote in
U.S. elections, register an affiliation with a U.S. political party,
or donate to any U.S. political campaign or candidate. David Mikkelson
is an American citizen whose participation in U.S. politics has never
extended beyond periodically exercising his civic duty at the ballot
box. As FactCheck confirmed in April 2009, David is a registered
independent who has never donated to, or worked on behalf of, any
political campaign or party. The Mikkelsons are wholly apolitical,
vastly preferring their quiet scholarly lives in the company of their
five cats to any political considerations.

Oh, now there's a wise use of your time. Goat, are you trying to
demonstrate that you never left adolescence? You're going a good job.

Snopes is now part of the right-wing hate narrative because most of
the b.s. propogated on the Web is right-wing b.s., so they have so
many more targets. They probably find the right to be particularly
obnoxious, as I do -- childish, churlish, and foul-mouthed.

We discussed a while back how almost all of the "letters from an
officer in Afghanistan," and the faux quotes from the founders, and
the rest of the e-mail and Web-legend b.s. was coming from the right.
That's why Snopes, and Politifact, and FactCheck.org have been beating
the crap out of the right for years now. It's not that they ignore the
crap from the left; it's just that so much more of it comes from the
right. We used to see it here all the time.

The reaction from the right has been to accuse Snopes et al. of lying,
which is just another case of the right accusing the other side of
their own most egregious behavior -- another one of your tricks,
picked up from Karl Rove. Snopes has missed the mark a few times but
they hit the target so many more.

Now you're descending into the lowest form of pre-adolescent
mud-slinging, and you look like an ass.

Well said Ed.

And we still see it here on Usenet...

A little experiment anyone can do...for a month count how many
rightwing spams are posted in a newsgroup versus the leftwing ones.

The number of Right wing spams will be greater...far greater.

Birther blog reporting that Obama Sr. did not move to Connecticut as Snopes
reports. It looks like Snopes confused Boston with Connecticut. Mistake,
not a lie. Also not particularly important.

>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2307857/posts

Previously covered: Snopes classifies a story of a particularly
difficult school test as 'false', stating "What nearly all
these pundits fail to grasp is "I can't answer these questions" is not
the same thing as "These questions demonstrate that students in earlier
days were better educated than today's students." Just about <I>any</I>
test looks difficult to those who haven't recently been steeped in the
material it covers."


>http://tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/911-facts/48-911-commentary/5365-snopescom-lies-continues-the-911-cover-up.html

9/11 conspiracy theory stuff that falls squarely in the "Snopes said X
is false, but I believe X so Snopes must be lying." Note also, that if
Snopes *were* lying in this case, it would be in defense of the Bush
administration; not exactly an example of left-wing bias.

It is because the left has reached the point where to call
something a "lie"is to be judgmental, which only evil republicans do.
(Be judgmental). Lefties only make mistakes. You know, like how
Corizon (Obama's big bundler of contributions) made a little
accounting mistake with MF Global, and billions of client dollars
disappeared. "Mistakes happen", you know. But only for liberals.

TMT just has reading comprehension problems. None of what I wrote had
anything to do with whether or not Fox News tapped phones. It had
everything to do with the fact that the FCC has no control over Fox News
as it is a cable entity and does not broadcast over the air where the FCC
holds sway.

Romney will win 2012, he'll appoint a new AG and probably issue an
order to cease any and all frivolous claim investigations of NewsCorp.

A Censored Race War?

Thomas Sowell

A Censored Race War?

When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving
through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks
-- beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work -- that
might seem to have been news that should have been reported, at least by
their own newspaper. But it wasn't.

"The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel was the first major television
program to report this incident. Yet this story is not just a Norfolk
story, either in what happened or in how the media and the authorities
have tried to sweep it under the rug.

Similar episodes of unprovoked violence by young black gangs against
white people chosen at random on beaches, in shopping malls or in other
public places have occurred in Philadelphia, New York, Denver, Chicago,
Cleveland, Washington, Los Angeles and other places across the country.
Both the authorities and the media tend to try to sweep these episodes
under the rug as well.

In Milwaukee, for example, an attack on whites at a public park a few
years ago left many of the victims battered to the ground and bloody.
But, when the police arrived on the scene, it became clear that the
authorities wanted to keep this quiet.

One 22-year-old woman, who had been robbed of her cell phone and debit
card, and had blood streaming down her face said: "About 20 of us stayed
to give statements and make sure everyone was accounted for. The police
wouldn't listen to us, they wouldn't take our names or statements. They
told us to leave. It was completely infuriating."

The police chief seemed determined to head off any suggestion that this
was a racially motivated attack by saying that crime is colorblind.
Other officials elsewhere have said similar things.

A wave of such attacks in Chicago were reported, but not the race of the
attackers or victims. Media outlets that do not report the race of
people committing crimes nevertheless report racial disparities in
imprisonment and write heated editorials blaming the criminal justice
system.

What the authorities and the media seem determined to suppress is that
the hoodlum elements in many ghettoes launch coordinated attacks on
whites in public places. If there is anything worse than a one-sided
race war, it is a two-sided race war, especially when one of the races
outnumbers the other several times over.

It may be understandable that some people want to head off such a
catastrophe, either by not reporting the attacks in this race war, or
not identifying the race of those attacking, or by insisting that the
attacks were not racially motivated -- even when the attackers
themselves voice anti-white invective as they laugh at their bleeding
victims.

Dallas police: Katy Trail robbery suspects may be tied to more than a
dozen area attacks
By Scott Goldstein / Reporter
sgold...@dallasnews.com
1:39 pm on May 14, 2012

Dallas police now say the same men are likely behind more than a dozen
attacks, including three armed robberies on or near the Katy Trail
over the weekend.

In a statement released minutes ago, Dallas police said that on Friday
they first identified at least 11 attacks in the city’s Central Patrol
Division that were likely connected. Four of those attacks were
reported to be near the Katy Trail.

But police officials did not alert the public to those attacks until
after three more armed attacks were reported on or near the popular
trail over the weekend.

Dallas police said they have leads. They provided this description of
the two suspects:

The first suspect is described as a black male, approximately
20 to 30 years old. He is 5’8 – 6’2 tall and weighs 150-160
pounds.
He has been armed with a blue steel semi-automatic handgun.

The second suspect is described as a black male, approximately
20 to 22 years old. His is 5’8 -5’10 tall and weighs
approximately
160 pounds. He may have a gold tooth and moles near his eyes.
He has been armed with a silver colored semi-automatic handgun.

The suspect vehicle is gray/silver 4-door sedan.
The vehicle may be a Chrysler or Chevy Impala.

As for why Dallas police opted not to alert the public about this
series of linked crimes until after three more people were attacked
over the weekend, police said they didn’t want to compromise the
ongoing investigation.

“The Police Department must continually balance the need to inform the
public against releasing information that could jeopardize the
investigation and potential suspect identification,” the statement
said. “Future apprehension could be made more difficult and dangerous
if suspects are alerted to the details of the police investigation.”

Tell us, you Useful Idiot of the DNC; since you constantly demonstrate
that you are Too_Stupid_To_Post_To_Usenet, seeing as how you _still_
haven't figured out how to deal with something as simple as that pesky
"Hide quoted text-Show quoted text" thingy, why in the wide wide world
of sports do you think that anyone here would believe you are "smart"
enough to discuss politics, finance, government policy _or_ (T.P.G.-
relevance) GUNS???

Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans 45%, Democrats 38%
Monday, May 14, 2012

Republicans hold a seven-point lead on the Generic Congressional
Ballot for the week ending Sunday, May 12.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% of
Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican in their district’s
congressional race if the election were held today, while 38% would
choose the Democrat instead. This gap is much larger than it has been
for the past three weeks when Republicans led by three but is
consistent with the level of support the GOP has been earning since
early March.
