what is this? Why does NovaM feature a proven liar news agency like AP? I cannot listen to "Obama flipped his position on offshore drilling" when he's being railroaded by the mugger media (their victim was Uncle Sam, fyi) and is trying to chess move john Mcsameasbush, the war hero candidate who once sank an enemy ship ie the USS Forrestal....so Obama's feint to offset Mcsame's thrust suddenly becomes AP 's "Obama flipping on offshore drilling'? NovaM is great, but the news is corporate swill that would make freepers feel informed!

1. Good question - it's been my pet peeve about Air America Radio as well. |

They take a credibility hit by choosing AP Radio News, IMO.

2. maybe that's the cost of doing biz, the protection racket idea(?) |

limbah and all those rightwing talkradio dopes don't make any money, they're loss leaders for the kleptocracy/corporations ie military, oil, drugs, law enforcment, prisons industries etc. Is there an unbiased, leftwing news org that, for example, assumes lihop at the very least? Notice, if you visit GCN (genesis comm. network) which is far right anti government etc how they accept the criminal aspects of the busheviki and MIC etc they always seem to wind up saying it's space aliens, or 'illuminatti' or some such nonsense- human nature isn't corrupt enough for them to explain societal corruption, so they can avoid supporting Obama while happily mocking mcsame! Yet their news is also AP! same crap. and they don't listen to it anymore then we do!

3. You could be right. I am very much in favor of the protection racket theory |

It explains a lot in a many otherwise incomprehensible acts IMO.

4. I know what you mean - AM760 in Denver uses CBS news |

What a horrible crock of spin that is at the top of each hour. Remarks are so sly, the wording made to sound so objective but always has a dig on Obama and never a legitimate question about McCain. Totally sucks. Even on our "liberal" media stations we are subjected to that crap. So now the news "tone" at the top of the hour signals to me to turn off the radio. My mother taught me to not to listen to people who lie, to not trust them. Well MSM news has proven themselves to be just that - liars. If only more people could turn the TV off, we'd be a far better nation.
