calfoxwc Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 1. It's stupid to judge an entire network over one dumbass, like this dumbass. It's like deciding all Browns fans are garbage because one drunk runs out onto the field streaking during a big game. 2. This guy is just as much a jerk as Bob Beckel sp? and Alan Colmes and a few others. I guess it wouldn't be "fair and balanced" if they didn't have these pieces of crap on the network, but I'd still send them packing. 3. It wasn't "they", it was a dumbass who works for Fox. NFL - not for long, in my opinion. His "jokes" were really offensive and disrespectful. 4. CNN, MSNBC have their share of really bad jerks saying really stupid stuff.

Which is why I quite like BBC - no advertising because it's funded by the government. Not in a chinese way, it's just the 'national' broadcaster, and TV licenses, about £100 p/a, go to pay for it.

WSS Except the government doesn't get a say in anything. Like I said, the TV license is a thing, the rate goes up a little every year, everyone who has a TV or watches live online needs to have a license, and that money goes wholly to the BBC. No input from the government. In fact there have been many times where the government doesn't like what the BBC is saying about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htownbrown Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 In July 1987, North was summoned to testify before televised hearings of a joint congressional committee that was formed to investigate Iran–Contra. During the hearings, North admitted that he had lied to Congress previously, for which and other actions he was later charged. He defended his actions by stating that he believed in the goal of aiding the Contras, whom he saw as freedom fighters, against the Sandinistas and said that he viewed the Iran–Contra scheme as a “neat idea.”[19] North admitted shredding government documents related to his Contra and Iranian activities, at William Casey’s suggestion, when the Iran–Contra scandal became public. He also testified that Robert McFarlane had asked him to alter official records to delete references to direct assistance to the Contras and that he had helped.[20] North was tried in 1988. He was indicted on 16 felony counts, and on May 4, 1989, he was initially convicted of three: accepting an illegal gratuity, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and ordering the destruction of documents through his secretary, Fawn Hall. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell on July 5, 1989, to a three-year suspended prison term, two years probation, $150,000 in fines, and 1,200 hours of community service. North performed some of his community service within Potomac Gardens, a public housing project in Southeast Washington, D.C.[21] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htownbrown Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Allegations were made, most notably by the Kerry subcommittee, that North and other senior officials created a privatized Contra network that attracted drug traffickers looking for cover for their operations, then turned a blind eye to repeated reports of drug smuggling related to the Contras, and actively worked with known drug smugglers such as Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega to assist the Contras.[24] Journalist Gary Webb asserted in his journalistic series and book Dark Alliance, that North developed the idea of using drug money to support the resistance movement.[25] Most Contra associates found guilty of trafficking by the Kerry committee were involved in the supply chain (ostensibly for “humanitarian goods,” though the supply chain was later found to have serviced the transport of arms), which had been set up by North. Organizations and individuals involved in the supply chain under investigation for trafficking included the company SETCO (operated by large-scale trafficker Juan Matta-Ballesteros), the fruit company Frigorificos de Puntarenas, rancher John Hull, and several Cuban exiles; North and other U.S. government officials were criticized by the Kerry Report for their practice of “ticket punching” for these parties, whereby people under active investigation for drug trafficking were given cover and pay by joining in the Contra supply chain. Notably, cocaine trafficker and Contra Oscar Danilo Blandon was granted political asylum in the U.S. despite knowledge of him running a drug ring.[26] In addition to the Kerry committee’s investigation, the Costa Rican government of Óscar Arias conducted an investigation of Contra-related drug trafficking, and as a result of this investigation, North and several other U.S. government officials were permanently banned from entering Costa Rica.

That also means that the youngsters who watch MSNBC will eventually grow up and be replaced by todays adolescents. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
