People may claim something on surveys, but that has little to do with reality and mostly a result of what they think is expected of them. The 39% didn't even say that they PREFER international news, just that they follow it closely (which is less likely the less coverage there is!). She didn't give any support for her claim that people are less informed than a generation ago either.TGGPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017651009634767649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513679299375736828.post-90128667084391606402008-06-04T21:33:00.000-07:002008-06-04T21:33:00.000-07:00"It is in my humble opinion, that businesses are n..."It is in my humble opinion, that businesses are not human beings, and should not be able to give a DIME of their money to a political campaign.

A 'good old boys club', or, if you prefer the Italian expression, the American Mafia"<BR/><BR/><BR/>Yup, that pretty much hits the nail on the head.........<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>I'll remind the Democratic-leaning AG that William Jefferson Blythe Clinton signed off on some of the rules that has allowed for so much media to be owned by so few entities.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>BTW----ON CNN the other day, they were detailing (This was on Lou Dobbs, who doesn't care who hates him), just how much various corporations had given in the campain thus far. Many large companies like Citibank, ChaseManhattan, Citicorp, Bank of America, etc. had given either Hillary or Obama or McCain half a million dollars or more.........................................<BR/><BR/>It is in my humble opinion, that businesses are not human beings, and should not be able to give a DIME of their money to a political campaign. If their EMPLOYEES want to contribute as individuals, then that is their business. However, if even one employee can prove that it was "suggested" by the employer that they donate to any politician, that company ought to be fined in the millions and the employee in question should be the beneficiary. Politics should be about individual human beings, not the giant stores of wealth, power, and money we call corporations of which Adam Smith would have never dreamed of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513679299375736828.post-82761447958183070802008-06-04T19:37:00.000-07:002008-06-04T19:37:00.000-07:00Well....I try to be very meticulous in my research...Well....<BR/><BR/>I try to be very meticulous in my research and have a zillion sources to prove my point.<BR/><BR/>Also, I approach this from a non religious perspective.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.AmericanGoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865892490752172185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513679299375736828.post-16080911868085029742008-06-04T18:13:00.000-07:002008-06-04T18:13:00.000-07:00I don't really see much difference between the con...I don't really see much difference between the content of the two sites.
