This rather strange animation makes a good point.

They should teach this interview in journalism schools to show how you stop someone from lying on live TV. pic.twitter.com/VZ6TgjM3wa

There isn't any proof that Assad with, or without backing from Russia launched the chemical attacks.  It doesn't make sense that they would do that. FAIR is a good neuteral news group as is one I began watching Real News Network.

As independent citizens we should support independent news sources.

This is the "Free Press" I keep trying to defend?

Five Top Papers Run 18 Opinion Pieces Praising Syria Strikes–Zero A...

Five major US newspapers—the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and New York Daily News—offered no opinion space to anyone opposed to Donald Trump’s Thursday night airstrikes. By contrast, the five papers ran a total of 18 op-eds, columns or “news analysis” articles (dressed-up opinion pieces) that either praised the strikes or criticized them for not being harsh enough...

Loren, I wonder how much industrial polution such as lead and murcury cause low IQ, and other problems that result in crime.

Trump recently touted "clean coal" while signing an executive order reducing environmental requlations to lower coal powerplants and mining from poluting.

Last I heard his approval rating was 36% while his disapproval rating was 57%.

More people should vote so another kook isn't elected presidents. Many congress members are also ignorant.

James Inholf's snowball http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/26/jim-inhofe-climate-snow_n_... is an example of lack of science knowledge. 

Who keeps him and others like him in office?

Big money probably has a lot to do with it.

Media such as broadcast national news - ABC, CBS, and NBC  seems similar to the National Enquirer and other entertainment programs.  The big three may had 8 minutes of news in a half hour broadcast.

Sadly, or unfortunately many reports I've read indicate that Americans don't mind being surveilled.  Do people think that providing their life history to corporations is benificial?

I read an article in a 1984 USA Today newspaper saying that most people wouldn't mind having video cameras throughout their house for the government and corporations to watch their daily activities.

I just sent my congressman an email complaining about the legislation allowing ISP's to sell their browsing history. Many, if not most email service providers digitally read emails to provide clients to marketers.

ISP's, telephone, and TV access is monopolized.

I find it difficult to beleive that people subscribe to video surveillance of their house over the internet. The news media's portrayal of crime puts some people in unjustified fear.

Crowdfunding campaign seeks to purchase search history of lawmakers who killed internet privacy

[Resistance Report]

Republicans in Congress just voted to allow Americans’ browser history to be bought and sold. A genius crowdfunding campaign wants to use that against them.

The website searchinternethistory.com is attempting to raise $1 million in order to put in bids to purchase the internet history of leading Republicans and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) members. The first histories the site aims to buy are those of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee), and FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.

“If it takes a million dollars to get real change, I am sure a million people are willing to donate $1 to help ensure their private data stays private,” wrote Adam McElhaney, who launched a GoFundMe campaign for the endeavor.

Thanks, Bertold and Loren!
