This one point, picked from a list of similar entries, is all that is required to place this website, and anyone who takes it seriously, at the very outer limits of serious political discourse.
This bodes, ill...ill, for a free, civil society if such ever becomes the norm. This is sheer, open hostility to serious thought and the very concept of an educated mind capable of negotiating the issues that confront us without resorting to the infantile, Paleolithic Marxian tropes about the nature of corporations and their influence on society.
That leftists must continually resort to such benighted grasping is all the more evidence that the Right won the intellectual argument with the Left long ago. All that remains for the Left now are their various totems, demons, and ritualistic casting out of evil spirits.

It is not a conspiracy theorist website. This particular site just lists important things going on in the world that are not reported in the mainstream media. You can read about these stories in the foreign press or on the internet - but they are not covered here because - yes, unfortunately our society is a bit Orwellian sometimes.
And don't just trust that website. Google on the individual stories. There is a lot out there on each of them.

I'm not going to be fooled Coke, not one little bit. This is a left wing clearinghouse site for the ideologically motivated creation of "news" The idea that Bin Laden had no connection to 9/11 is, yes, a leftist tin foil hat conspiracy theory that can be easily demolished with only marginal effort (if for no other reason than the easily accessible facts are so obvious).
The idea that George Bush, or anyone in his cabinet, has any desire to impose martial law on the United States is just as fevered and just as preposterous as the idea that the CIA sold Cocaine in Los Angeles to destroy the black community, that AIDs was created to kill black people, that the Iraq war is about Oil, or any of the other histrionic concoctions of the desperate anti-American Left.
This is a site for news concoction, not reporting. I know the difference. I'm sorry that you don't.
Did you read any of the stories or just the captions?
Martial Law:
It doesn’t say that Bush is definitely going to declare martial law – but that the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 now gives the government power to do so (say in the case of a pandemic, natural disaster, or terrorist attack). Also signed into law that day was the Military Commissions Act, which denies habeas corpus to anyone the president wants to label a "terrorist". These are scary laws, and if most Americans understood the laws and their potential implications for our civil liberties they would demand the laws be repealed.
Bin Laden and 9/11
The article (if you read it) says that the reason 9/11 isn’t listed on Bin Laden’s FBI Most Wanted poster is that there is no HARD evidence linking him to 9-11. Sure, we all suspect and believe that he was behind it. But if they had solid evidence, he probably would have been indicted by a grand jury.
Here’s a quote:
Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI responded, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.” Tomb continued, “Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11.” Asked to explain the process, Tomb responded, “The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.”
And if you want to see how many in the mainstream media lie or distort, there are some good watchdog sites that fact check what media figures say – such as Media Matters.
Hello,
Well, I don't really like either Mr. George W. Bush or Keith Oberman. I don't really like Mr. George W. Bush, because he is pretty very a failure as President. Mr. George W. Bush is also very arrogant, and he nearly always does Not listen to his Constituents. I do believe that Mr. George W. Bush has failed as President. (I do think and believe that Senator John McCain, if he gets elected, will make a lot better President than what Mr. George W. Bush has been.) I also don't really like Keith Oberman because he is way too partisan, and he is very ultra-liberal, although I do agree with a few of his criticism of Mr. George W. Bush.

The problem with the leftist old media is precisely that they do not; there is no way to tell where editorial content ends and objective, disinterested reporting of news begins (well, there is, but one must be very intellectually engaged and sensitive to the tricks of the trade of the liberal media to perceive it, on some occasions).
You realize that is pretty much impossible to do? Even by presenting the news one way instead of another shows bias.
Olbermann is a ranting left wing airhead of the Michael Moore variety, who has nothing whatever intelligent to say about anything.
So then answer my question [it's really easy: Y/N with "Y"=yes and "N"=no]:
Do you think Bush giving up a hobby [golf] is a weak sacrifice in comparision to what soldiers sacrifice? Y/N

I see Olberman as one of the very few journalists on the air today that will report on the abuses of power and problems of the Bush/Cheney presidency. I can't think of many others who do, except for the guys on Comedy Central - John Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and they do it through comedy.
