The Big Bang Treaty: Fox News no longer feels the need to accurately report on President Obama’s nuclear arms treaty with Russia.
The Fox ‘News’ Network a.k.a The Republican Propaganda Network, constantly and misleadingly disparages Obama and his administration in its supposedly straight reporting. Comedian Jon Stewart incisively, exposes the LYING IDIOTS at Fox News. [ VIDEO BELOW ]

Republicans and Medicare: “……Don’t cut Medicare. The reform bills passed by the House and Senate cut Medicare by approximately $500 billion. This is wrong.” So declared Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, in a recent op-ed article written with John Goodman, the president of the National Center for Policy Analysis.
And irony died.
Now, Mr. Gingrich was just repeating the current party line. Furious denunciations of any effort to seek cost savings in Medicare — death panels! — have been central to Republican efforts to demonize health reform. What’s amazing, however, is that they’re getting away with it.
Why is this amazing? It’s not just the fact that Republicans are now posing as staunch defenders of a program they have hated ever since the days when Ronald Reagan warned that Medicare would destroy America’s freedom. Nor is it even the fact that, as House speaker, Mr. Gingrich personally tried to ram through deep cuts in Medicare — and, in 1995, went so far as to shut down the federal government in an attempt to bully Bill Clinton into accepting those cuts.
“……The bottom line, then, is that the crusade against health reform has relied, crucially, on utter hypocrisy: Republicans who hate Medicare, tried to slash Medicare in the past, and still aim to dismantle the program over time, have been scoring political points by denouncing Obama’s proposals for modest cost savings — savings that are substantially smaller than the spending cuts buried in their own proposals.” And if Democrats don’t get their act together and push the almost-completed reform across the goal line, this breathtaking act of staggering hypocrisy will succeed.” [ READ MORE ]
