MSM Completely Silent On NASA’s New Primary Role Of Appeasing Muslims

July 8, 2010 Leave a comment

muslim_nasaAs disgusting as the new role of NASA is, this is worse.  The idea that the entire MSM folded on this…

Readers who get their news from the the mainstream media are remarkably ill informed. Much of what they "know" isn’t true and much of what they don’t know is important. Take the case of what Byron York calls "the NASA (non) feeding frenzy."

You know the story. The guy whom President Obama has put in charge of NASA reports that he has been tasked by President Obama with missions having nothing to do with space exploration. Perhaps the foremost of these missions is to make the Muslim world feel good about itself.

York originally reported the comments made by NASA administrator Charles Bolden to Al Jazeera several days ago. Yesterday York ran a Nexis search to see whether the news had made it into the mainstream media. York’s search produced this (utterly predictable) result:

Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program in the New York Times: 0.

Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program in the Washington Post: 0.

Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program on NBC Nightly News: 0.

Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program on ABC World News: 0.

Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program on CBS Evening News: 0.

Dems New Plan For Growth: Tax All ATM Withdrawals And The Internet

July 8, 2010 Leave a comment

Well, of course.  What better way to make people keep banks healthy than to encourage them to stop using them?  What better way to grow the economy than to make it more expensive to make internet purchases?

Hey Dems.  Growing the economy and growing the government are mutually exclusive.  Just a hint.

You remember Lanny Davis, right? He’s the nice guy you sometimes get confused with Leon Panetta because they both worked for Clinton and their names both start with “L”.

But when Davis speaks and floats ideas, it is more than just your run of the mill Washington personality floating an idea. When Lanny Davis drops an op-ed, there tends to be more to it. So we should take note that he’s got Democrats signing onto a plan to tax your ATM withdrawals.

Why, you ask? Well, to pay down the deficit.

Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.) has introduced Davis’s dream legislation. It would charge a penny for every dollar of your money drawn from an ATM machine. That would then beg the question — why put your money in a bank if you are going to get taxed merely for the right to access your money.

But wait . . . it’s gets better. They’re back to wanting to tax the internet too.
