The Boston Tea Party was never correctly reported. The boat that the tea was stored on also had sacks of sugar and a few large cans of cream.
When the Brits saw that the Americans were dumping tea into water but not adding cream and sugar they were so incensed at the impropriety of the scene that they flew into a rage and thus started the revolutionary war.

Wasn't the Spanish-American War started by sensational journalism? I wonder how coverage of the Boston Tea Party in American papers compared to coverage of the same event in British papers. Or even the coverage by a Tory journalist versus a Patriot journalist. We all see through our own eyes. On 11/16/2015 12:44 PM, Rory Conaway wrote: News as a disinterested third party, is pretty much dead. All news organizations have a political leaning including BBC, Al Jazeera, and NPR. In many cases it’s not what they report, it’s what they fail to report that is just as bad or worse. BBC rarely reports anything negative about the British Government and is as bad as the New York Times about not reporting anything negative about a Democrat. Of course both of them do it, but the amount of time or the amount of resources will be far less than the opposite side of the side of the issue. Al Jazeera never reports anything bad about the Muslim or Islamic faith and NPR is almost as bad as the BBC when it comes to never saying anything about a liberal government. I think NBC, CBS, and ABC have the same advisor telling them what negative information not to report on Obama for example. As for NPR, they lost all credibility with me when they fired Juan Williams because he said something their management didn’t like and he is a huge liberal. There is an argument now that Google can pretty much influence an election by a huge amount by pushing positive news information in their search engine about their liberal candidate up while simultaneously doing the same thing in a negative light towards a Conservative candidate. At this point, it’s pretty much up to us to watch news organizations from both sides of the aisle and try to sort out the truth.

Al Jazeera is surprisingly informative and seems to lack spin. I listen to NPR continually. Card carrying GOP but am truly libertarian, cannot vote demo primarily due to guns and the abortion issue. Fox news is like eating a whole bag of halloween candy. After watching fox I have to watch some Rachael Maddow to be able to drive straight again. (In reality, I avoid TV news. Radio and Google News is were most of my disinformation comes from). I don’t like apologists, religious or otherwise. I like the best truths I can find. I really hate partisan politics.

Obama is a jackass. Fox news is far from perfect. As a businessman though I recommend not calling your potential customers dumb though. Fox may be a group of liars, but at this point in time they are the least biased news source in the US (50% biased vs 100%). Pretty much all of the rest of them are brown nosing the left so bad I can't see how they haven't suffocated themselves. When I want news with little BS I tend to lean towards BBC myself. ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick Leary To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 16, 2015 7:24 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG][WISPA] S'il vous plaît priez pour nos amis français The world is such a simple place when everything is Obama’s fault. Somebody smashes a glass to the ground. 12 years later, people blinded by partisanship blame the person who tried to glue some of the pieces back together, but the glass still won’t hold water so it must be his fault. Extremely disordered cognitive functioning. …Never mind the real subtleties all the “informed” people on the Right seem to forget, chief among them that the IRAQI POLITICIANS SAID THE ONLY WAY WE COULD KEEP OUR TROOPS IN COUNTRY WAS TO REMOVE THEIR IMMUNITY AND MAKE THEM SUBJECT TO LIABILITY AND PROSECUTION. No one on this side of the pond wanted that, from the DoD to BOTH parties. Of course, FOX viewers either are too dumb to know this or intentionally pretend that was not the reality, in order to take yet another “it’s Obama’s fault” grade school insult. It’s just way more satisfying or simpler for their juvenile world view to believe “it’s Obama’s fault!” What, are you 10 years old? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/05/world/middleeast/iraqis-say-no-to-immunity-for-remaining-american-troops.html?_r=0 People really need to educate themselves before spewing childish partisan memes.

And you are right, we didn’t do the right bombing in Vietnam to stop that war. And what Ford did at the end is the lesson Obama should have learned which could have prevented much of what happened in the Middle East including ISIS. Apparently they didn’t teach history to at Harvard. Imagine the influence a multi-cultural and stable Iraqi government would have had on the region.

Vietnam had no wholesale bombing like WWII. that is one reason Vietnam, and the rest of these conflicts, last so long. The horror of war has to be brought to everyone, including those making the decisions, to bring it to an end. But having said that, this Muslim extremists movement has been been going on for about 700 years so it may be to much to expect to be out of war again. There may be a lull, but I think the entire world has been drawn into the middle East quagmire. The primary cause damn sure isn't a two degrees warming tend in a couple decades.

That is the problem we have had all along. Door-to-door warfare is all that you can do but it’s also the most dangerous for our soldiers and nobody is going to allow wholesale bombing like Nixon did in Vietnam. We also burned a lot of good will in all the countries we need to do this with when we got the local civilians to act as translators and informants and abandoned them after the war, the highest profile of them the doctor in Pakistan. Even he is still in jail years later but the reality is, nobody trusts us any more in those regions. We are not a reliable ally.
