Comedy Central's impressario out-Foxes, exposes Fox | The News is NowPublic.com
Comedy Central's impressario out-Foxes, exposes Fox | The News is NowPublic.com
Comedy Central's impressario, the venerable Jon Stewart, host of the Daily Show, New York City, has out-foxed the Fox news network, and put a nick in their "fair and balanced" crown.
I think it is clear that if they are willing to deceive on one point, they may be unfaithful in larger matters: Hannity has been showing September footage as proof of last week's huge turnout, and that's not fair and balanced:
In the US, Fox News has been promoting a series of right-wing protestsagainst Obama and the Democrats' health care plan. They urge viewers to attend the protests, then give them huge coverage on the network.
But the network went a step too far this week, as Jon Stewart showed on the Daily Show.
The network's Sean Hannity had a segment in which he and two conservative Republican congressmen crowed about the size of an anti-health care rally held last week. But as The Daily Show discovered, they used video footage from a much larger rally held in September. What tipped them off? Thursday was clear and the leaves on the trees were a beautiful autumn colour. On September 12, the sky was cloudy and the leaves green. Check out the clip for yourself.
This episode shows perfectly why the White House has decided to treat Fox News as a political opponent, not a news organisation like CNN.

Maine Group says "no tolerance for dissent" | The News is NowPublic.com
Maine Called 'Bellwether' State as conflict swirls around QUESTION ONE, to be voted on Tuesday, November 3. The nation watches Maine, not for what we are, but for what we may be. . . .
The story of Don Mendell illustrates exactly what happens when the gay agenda conflicts with freedom. There is no tolerance for dissent. ~Stand for Marriage, Maine
A group called Stand For Marriage in the state of Maine is claiming that within the gay marriage movement, "there is no tolerance for dissent", and no respect for difference of ideology and opinion. They claim that Maine has become the "bellwether" state: That which shows the way national winds are blowing, and what will be.
Because of the treatment of one of it's members, and the likening of those who feel, as free Americans, that they have the right to vote 'Yes' on Question One (which will give gays rights in all except marriage) and not be depicted as Ku Klux Klan members (see picture above left), the group believes that dissent is no longer tolerated as democracy demands.

STATEMENT FROM STAND FOR MARRIAGE MAINE
REGARDING THREAT TO YES ON 1 TV AD SPOKESMAN DON MENDELL
“I want to alert you to a disturbing development that confirms what we have been saying about the larger threat that redefining marriage poses to every Mainer.“Don Mendell, one of our spokesmen who appeared in a television ad for Stand for Marriage Maine, has come under attack by our opponents.
“Don is a high school guidance counselor and licensed social worker. His appearance in the television ad prompted a complaint to the Maine Department of Professional and Financial Regulation – requesting that his license to practice social work in the state of Maine be stripped away – simply because of his personal opinion on marriage.
“It is ironic that those who claim tolerance as their highest value prove themselves to be so intolerant that they would go so far as to threaten a father’s career and put his family’s future at risk. This latest attack highlights the true agenda of those who demand that marriage be redefined.
“No one who opposes Question 1 is in similar danger from those who support marriage between one man and one woman.
“Our opponents want to shut us down. We have no interest in limiting free speech and threatening the right of conscience for those who disagree. So who’s really intolerant?
“This attack proves that a “YES” vote next Tuesday is about much more than protecting marriage. It is also about preserving free speech, religious liberty and right of conscience and about what is taught to children.
“This threat to Don and his family’s livelihood is proof that those who demand marriage be redefined seek to punish and silence those who disagree.
“It is our hope that the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation dismisses this complaint for what it is – nonsense. The Alliance Defense Fund – a legal alliance of attorneys committed to defending the right of people to freely live out their faith – is considering potential action on behalf of Don’s fundamental liberties.
“If the people of Maine vote Yes on Question 1 to protect marriage, we have hope that free speech and religious liberty will be respected. If marriage is not protected, Don will only be the first victim.
Once more, Obama defends DOMA? | The News is NowPublic.com
he Obama administration has consistently asserted that the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is discriminatory ; Moreover, President Obama has vowed to work for its repeal. Nonetheless, the Obama Justice Department has recently again defended the law in a court filing.
In response to a lawsuit by Massachusetts Attorney GeneralMartha M. Coakley, the Justice Department argued yesterday in court papers that states allowing gay marriage can’t force the federal government to provide benefits to those couples.The state of Massachusetts has challenged DOMA, saying it denies federal marriage benefits to same-sex couples that are nonetheless legally married under Massachusetts law. Around 16,000 same-sex couples married in Massachusetts are being unfairly denied federal benefits given to heterosexual couples, according to Coakley’s suit. Those benefits include federal income tax credits, employment benefits, retirement benefits, health insurance coverage and Social Security payments
Massachusetts officials also say the federal law requires them to disregard the legally valid same-sex marriages in their state in relation to carrying out federal Medicaid and Veterans’ benefits programs. Such a requirement, they say, violates state sovereignty and is unconstitutional.
“This administration does not support DOMA as a matter of policy, believes that it is discriminatory, and supports its repeal,” says yesterdays Justice Department brief.
Nevertheless, Obama’s DOJ says, it has “long followed the practice of defending federal statutes as long as reasonable arguments can be made in support of their constitutionality, even if the Department disagrees with a particular statute, as it does here.”
This, from AmericaBlog Gay, to me, sums up what I have intuited from the very start: That Obama, does not want to support the gay movement, but wants to seem as though he is, while he bides his time and puts them off. Sort of like a woman who is being pursued by a man she does not like, but does not want him to know this just yet. . .
How self-deluding are gay activists, then? Is this willful shutting one's eyes, pretending not to see what one really does see - and more importantly, what one knows is headed toward dangerous waters - and all such behavior on the part of gay activists a real deficit in this regard: That seeing, they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear? Obama could not be more obvious if he tried.
States that allow gay marriage can't force the federal government to provide benefits to those couples, the Obama administration argued Friday in court papers in a lawsuit by Massachusetts.
