Businessman tweets that Internet is ‘working,’ government shouldn’t interfere.
The Republican “wave” in the November 4, 2014, midterm elections had many reasons, but at least one was dissatisfaction with the economy. While, the three broadcast networks acknowledged the elections were bad for Democrats, they mostly ignored the economy and its impact on the election.
Instead, now that Republicans hold a majority of seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate, the networks have chosen to preach bipartisanship.
Exit polls showed economy weighing on voters' minds, but networks ignored it in 84 percent of stories.
Climate deniers apparently have a simple, albeit crass, message for the world: “We don’t know what the f*** we’re talking about.”
At least, that’s what Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” and soon-to-be host of CBS’s “Late Show,” said during his show Nov. 6, 2014. Colbert was mocking Senator Jim Inhofe, R-Okla, who will soon become chairman of the Senate U.S. Environment and Public Works Committee.
It’s no surprise that people living in the economically prosperous West told Gallup they were relatively happy. Conversely, those living in the former Soviet Union and sub-Saharan Africa reported being much less happy.
But that was not the first impression BBC gave when it reported Gallup’s findings. The BBC’s Nov. 5, 2014, headline proclaimed, “Happiness ‘dips in midlife in the affluent West.’” Michelle Roberts, Health editor for BBC News online, began the story saying, “Happiness nose dives as you hit middle age - but only if you live in the affluent West, according to experts.”
Add climate alarmists to the list of liberals freaked out by the 2014 midterm election results. If you believe the far-left eco-blog Grist, “the worst is yet to come” for “environmental policy.”
Former Newsweek.com editor Ben Adler warned readers not to mistake conservatives for “rational human beings or patriotic Americans.” Adler said that because conservatives gained control of the U.S. Senate on November 4, they are going to take the economy “hostage” and destroy the planet.
Eco-blogger says Republicans taking Senate will ‘cause climate mayhem.’
Global warming advocates started calling their opponents climate-change deniers. Liberals could add economic-recovery deniers to their phrasebook next.
Despite the “objective reality” of an economic recovery this year, columnist Lynn Vavreck wrote this will not impact the midterm election. Posting on The New York Times’ The Upshot blog on November 3, 2014, Vavreck incorrectly implied that conservatives deny this recovery is occurring because they view the facts through “partisan lenses.”
Conservative ‘mucking up’ facts, won’t vote for liberals because of partisanship.
Watch out, because greedy businessmen might start fracking under your neighborhood, making your drinking water flammable and causing earthquakes.
The popular, animated satire “The Simpsons” made fun of hydraulic fracturing on its November 2 episode. More commonly called fracking, hydraulic fracturing is a process used to extract natural gas from shale buried deep underground. However, the show portrayed it as the dangerous venture of devious capitalists.
Satirical show links capitalism and gas drilling to water pollution and earthquakes.
The American food stamps program has experienced “unprecedented” and “unsustainable” growth under President Barack Obama according to experts, but the broadcast news media have virtually ignored this bad news this election year.
The three broadcast networks would rather not remind voters that a record number of Americans received food stamps under the Obama presidency, or that more than 46 million Americans have been on food stamps for 35 straight months. While Obama has said that “every single one” of his policies is “on the ballot” this fall, the media have worked hard to protect him from bad news, especially if there can be any connection.
Media outlets spent years bashing for-profit colleges and universities, calling for regulation, claiming they provided “woefully inadequate education,” all while ignoring these institutions’ efforts to educate underprivileged students.
On Oct. 30, 2014, the Department of Education announced new regulations on for-profit colleges that would strip them of financial aid unless these institutions proved graduates achieved “gainful employment.”
Administration’s new rules could jeopardize 840,000 students’ education, put 1,400 programs at risk.
Bankers and capitalism are to blame for worldwide economic turmoil. That’s the controversial perspective preached by a reinvented Sherlock Holmes character on CBS’s “Elementary,” played by British actor Jonny Lee Miller.
Miller returns in the third season premiere of “Elementary” October 30, as the world’s most famous detective. But his portrayal is far from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Holmes. The Holmes of “Elementary” made no secret of his political leanings in previous seasons.
Network’s ‘Elementary’ platform for anti-capitalistic rhetoric.
The Obama administration has taken heat during the Ebola crisis as many Americans worry not enough has been done. In response, the administration appointed a lawyer to be the country’s Ebola czar.
But many on the left and in the liberal news media are blaming Senate conservatives and the National Rifle Association (NRA) for halting the confirmation of President Barack Obama’s anti-gun and pro-Obamacare nominee for surgeon general. MSNBC employees editorialized that the NRA was making the Ebola crisis “worse,” and hosts on CNN and other news networks complained that Obama’s nominee had not yet been confirmed.
Liberal billionaire activist George Soros doesn't like the Tea Party. Now a professor at the university he founded has publicly attacked the group via The Washington Post, claiming Tea Party supporters are primarily old, white, upper middle class, and racist.
Erin K. Jenne, an associate professor at Central European University (CEU), wrote an article which appeared in The Washington Post’s Monkey Cage blog on Oct. 19. Jenne painted the tea party as a radical group advancing policies “that would make Barry Goldwater blush.” She claimed that surveys show tea party supporters “have somewhat more negative views of minorities” and are “overwhelmingly white, middle-aged to old, slightly more educated and slightly higher income than the median American voter.”
An NBC journalist has taken to social media to criticize “snarky posts” questioning whether apparently wasteful research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), like the one that spent $3.2 million studying drunken monkeys, was a worthwhile use of taxpayer funds.
Phil Williams, Chief Investigative Reporter at NBC’s Nashville affiliate, defended these NIH studies in a Facebook post, urging his readers to “remember alcoholism kills 88,000 people EVERY YEAR in the U.S.”
Amidst the Ebola crisis, the government’s premier health agencies are burning their taxpayer funded budgets on wasteful programs faster than drunken monkeys. Based on a recent $3.2 million NIH study focused exclusively on getting monkeys drunk, that’s an analogy researchers should readily understand.
That’s not the story that is getting told by journalists. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are busy leveraging the Ebola crisis to demand more taxpayer dollars from Congress with the media's help.
