ACLU Fights Wiretapping Approved by Obama, McCain and Bush When Pres. George W. Bush and Sen.

I try to answer these questions with some clips from a Barack Obama news conference and from spokespeople for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) You can see the full July 1, 2008, Barack Obama news conference from which I took a short clip for my video at http://cbs2chicago.com/video/?id=46212@wbbm.dayport.com You can see ACLU Legislative Counsel Michelle Richardson's full June 21, 2008, appearance on C-SPAN's Washington Journal at http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=product_video_info&products_id=205571-2 You can see more about the ACLU's fight against the FISA Amendments Act (including the ACLU video from which I took a short clip) at http://www.aclu.org/safefree/nsaspying/faachallenge.html And, you can see Sen.

McCain, Republicans Want Welfare for Anti-Evolutionists? When Republican governor and possible John McCain Vice Presidential running mate Bobby Jindal came out in favor of teaching "Intelligent Design" in Louisiana's science classrooms on CBS's "Face The Nation" last Sunday, it reminded me of John McCain's similar nonsensical position on teaching "Intelligent Design" which I criticize using clips from biologist Kenneth Miller appearing this last week with Stephen Colbert and on NPR.

Fox News Creates Obama Contradiction That Isn't There? A lot of people complained about the bias at last week's ABC debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton but it was the same bias you can find at all the major networks, a bias towards controversy, sensationalism, superficiality, and corporatism. Fox News, in contrast, has all those same biases as the other networks, but has, in addition, a clear ideological bias I've documented in dozens of YouTube videos in which Fox distorts the facts to help the right or hurt the left. Fox provided a good example of such bias in its coverage of last week's ABC debate when Fox deliberately misinterpreted an ambiguity in something Obama said, quoted it out of context, and created a contradiction that wasn't there, as I show in this video. You can find the rest of the April 16, 2008, ABC Democratic debate from which I took a clip for this video on the ABC website at: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=4669713 You can find more of Obama's April 17, 2008, statement about the debate from which I took a clip for this video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlR9DNfqGD4 And, you can find DOZENS of more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D Tags: barack obama abc debate fox news media bias rev jeremiah wright disown George Stephanopoulos us president election 2008 |

White America Victimized by Black Anger About Racism? When Barack Obama spoke in Philadelphia, PA at Constitution Center, on matters not just of race and recent remarks but on the fundamental path by which America can work together to pursue a better future, I shouldn't have been surprised to see some on the right and in the corporate media continue to focus on what divides us as I show in this video.

Bush Bashing Obama Bogus? As Pres. George W. Bush's term finally comes to an end (!), you might expect him to play the statesman, staying above the fray in the upcoming election.

Fair to Ignore Murder Victims' Family Against Death Penalty? When the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice held hearings last week on the fairness of the death penalty, I didn't expect all the details of more than 6 hours of hearings to be covered in my local newspaper, the Sacramento Bee. I was surprised, however, to see the Sacramento Bee article covering the hearings did not even mention the many murder victim family members who oppose the death penalty who spent all day at that hearing to share the stories I excerpt in my video. Instead, the Sacramento Bee only quoted a murder victim family member supporting the death penalty who did not even speak at the hearing. The online version of the Sacramento Bee article I am criticizing is available at: http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/626308.html And, video of the entire January 10, 2008, hearing is available from the California Channel at: http://www.calchannel.com/MEDIA/0110A.asx Also, more information about the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice is available at: http://www.ccfaj.org/ Finally, a lot more testimonials from victims of crimes seeking alternatives to the death penalty are available at: http://www.californiacrimevictims.org/ Tags: Death Penalty Victims Families Sacramento Bee California Commission Fair Administration Justice commentary analysis acl |

Atheist Newdow PWNs Fox News' Cavuto over Huckabee Cross Ad? As nice as it was to see Fox News host Neil Cavuto even question the recent political ad from Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee in which the image of a cross floats behind the head of the former Baptist Minister as he talks about Jesus, I quickly found it was all just an opportunity to invite on atheist Michael Newdow and strawman Newdow's arguments. In these clips from the December 18 Fox News broadcast, I show how Michael Newdow PWNs Neil Cavuto as Cavuto shows his bias by attacking Newdow and failing to address Newdow's argument.
