Why is FOX funding research to discredit an American minister?
If Fox is about opinion, then let Beck have his opinion and make his case for it in a sane, civil manner – to say nothing of in a “fair and balanced” manner.Beck always dictates the conditions, persons and rules of his debates. Could it be that he is so afraid of those with more knowledge of social policy and U.S. history - combined with his personal insecurities - that he is incapable of having a debate where he has to adhere to proper rules of debate (no ad hominem attacks for instance).
Contrary to what Fox apologists like to claim, the channel’s advertising has always strongly implied that their “Fair and Balanced” slogan applies to the channel as a whole – not to the “hard news” alone. Would it not be fair, then, to allow Pastor Jim Wallis to appear on Beck’s program to discuss Beck’s charges against him, and against the churches who preach the gospel of social justice? Would it not provide balance? Can any of the staunchest defenders of Fox News come up with one good reason why Beck should not debate Wallis?
Obama health overhaul cuts US deficit: Congress
President Barack Obama's historic health overhaul legislation would cut 130 billion dollars from the US budget deficit through 2019, according to figures provided by Democratic lawmakers.So much for those blatant lies espoused by Republicans and their tea bagger dorks that health care reform will bankrupt the country.
The independent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicts that the bill, Obama's top domestic priority, will cost about 940 billion dollars over the same period, but cut 1.2 trillion in its second ten years, they said.
