November 21, 2009 Updated Updated birth certificate posts/videos/lawsuits Who knows the truth. I watched Lou Dobbs on Bill O’Reilly and there was no inkling he was fired. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t. It seems a tad odd that a man who was fired walked away with a reported $8M. More curious is who provided the cash. According to the NY Post, [...]

November 20, 2009 Updated birth certificate posts/videos/lawsuits Herr Olbermann is a plain nasty human who spouts lies that no one calls him on.

Arianna Huffington [...]

DOWNLOADS: (1263) PLAYS: (3805) Every time we run a Glenn Beck post, someone trolls into the comments and asks, "Why bother with this guy? We should just ignore him! Post more videos on [insert name of preferred progressive figure here]!"

Want to know how the left really feels about free speech? Look no further than Huffington Post editor and co-founder Arianna Huffington. Huffington appeared on MSNBC's Nov. 19 "Countdown" to discuss a report by the Anti-Defamation League that alleges Fox News host Glenn Beck is "the most important mainstream media figure who has repeatedly helped to stoke fires of anti-government anger"...
Arianna Huffington has been the leader of the anti-Geithner (and Larry Summers) movement and she has a lot of followers at the Huffington Post. She uses the same tactics that the rightwing uses--guilt by association. Conservatives hate Geithner too just because they have an irrational opposition to the Obama administration. Republican theatrics a la Glenn Beck yesterday was par for the course for republicans....

For example, he was one of the first to sound the alarm about the danger of derivatives .. .. warning in 2003 that they were “financial weapons of mass destruction” that could lead [...]
A variety of English media reported today that the Times of London will begin charging its customers for 24-hour access to the Times’ website by spring. The Times, roughly the English equivalent of the New York Times, is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation and will likely be the first major newspaper to adopt a mandatory online payment scheme.
