    You need to know this.  The mainstream media has been taken over by Conservative ideology.  A new Pew Research Center Survey studied the media exposure of politicians during the recent midterm elections.  What they found was – out of the ten most covered candidates during the election season – the top 3 were all Republicans.  And most surprising – Sarah Palin – who essentially has no job and was not running for one – received three times more coverage to spew her talking points than the sitting Vice President Joe Biden.  Also – conservative commentators like

    You need to know this.  President Obama is preparing to sign an executive order that will affirm the White House’s policy of indefinite detention for suspected terrorists.  In other words – President Obama is following the same path as President Bush when it comes to throwing the legal rights of a suspected criminal out the window.  48 detainees at Guantanamo Bay have been selected for indefinite detention and will remain incarcerated with no charges brought against them for as long as the White House deems necessary.  That number is likely to grow over the comin
