Comments on: Kyl’s Earmark Hypocrisy: Requested $118 Million For Earmarks In Budget, But Railed Against Them In Stimulus http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/02/kyl-earmarks-hypocrisy/ Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:39:44 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: chucko33 http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/02/kyl-earmarks-hypocrisy/comment-page-2/#comment-5528345 chucko33 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 07:15:15 +0000 http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/02/kyl-earmarks-hypocrisy/#comment-5528345 I'm not much of a fan of Rove and Fred Barnes' fishing buddy Chris Wallace, but didn't <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/01/fns-gop-dominance/" rel="nofollow">ThinkProgress yesterday declare this segment unbalanced</a> based on the appearance of 2 Republicans? What happened? TP probably watched the segment AFTER its post and found that it wasn't so unbalanced after all, since Chris Wallace can surprise you from time to time with his questioning. Next time, TP should hold back on its claim of unbalanced segments until it actually watches and studies the program in question.

It is quite possible that Rupert Murdoch sees the demise of Fixed News on the horizon if he doesn't do something to make it relevant. And daily spewing lies to the American public is not going to make them relevant. I think that Murdoch's huge losses and President Obama's popularity polling (67% to 71% depending on poll) have both scared the hell out of Murdoch. Teowens Says:

Funny thing, though, the poster was in a red state that receives much more Federal Tax dollars than they put into the Federal government. Maybe we need to pass a law that says that no state can receive more Federal money than what they contribute to the Federal government. Then the blue states would no longer have to support the red states. Let them survive on their own without my tax dollars going to help support them.
