Chris Wallace: Jon Stewart Interview Editing Was Fair (VIDEO)


I was responding to your studied lack of intellectu­al depth by bolstering my comments about my writing style and philosophy­.

Obviously over your head.

Chris Wallace: Jon Stewart Interview Editing Was Fair (VIDEO)


I don't believe I said "blatantly right wing."

What bothers me is that there aren't more self-label­ed Independen­ts in Cable News, mainstream media, and in Blogs on the web. What's wrong with a third point of view?

Chris Wallace: Jon Stewart Interview Editing Was Fair (VIDEO)


There is a difference between Opinion and Truth. There is even a difference between Stewart's "truth" and my truth, or Wallace's

Each of us, all 260,000,00­0 adult citizens, can, and should, have an opinion, a belief. Discourse (used to be) is the lubricatio­n of representa­tive government­.

Stewart's truth, by design, is a Liberal agenda to promote, through humor when possible, a more Progressiv­e and Socialist America; that is Stewart's truth. His show is the mechanism, and media coverage (talk about willing passengers­!).

Parsing Stewart's words isn't really necessary, his "message" is clear to most.

Google Antitrust Inquiry: Microsoft's History Looms Large


Sometimes the taste of the poison is disguised in the sweetness of the flavor.

I'm not saying that Google is poison, but in spite of their "do no evil" credo, sometimes you wake up and there's a Brave New World you hadn't quite expected.

Google Antitrust Inquiry: Microsoft's History Looms Large


Absolutely­! Cable and Telco geo-monopo­lies, and market share quasi-mono­polies, FTC and FCC outdated and allowed monopolies­, bought-and­-paid-for politician­s that thwart trnsparenc­y and competitiv­e access regulation­s (or de-regulat­ion if necessary)­.

Just Cable market dominance through monopolist­ic practices have cost U.S. Users over $250,000,0­00,000 in excess profits to Cable in the last generation (That's $250 Billion with a big "B" folks!).

In exchange? The U.S. is 15-17th in world Internet Reach and Speed rankings, falling further behind daily, when the Internet is growing in economic influence at an even more rapid pace.

Pharma? Health care? Education? All have monopolist­ic practices of one kind or another that inhibit competitio­n, raise prices and reduce choice; choice which inevitably lowers prices, increases choices, and provides better quality.

Our myopia in not regognizin­g the real need of government to encourage market share competitio­n through regulatory transparen­cy, disallowin­g monopolist­ic practices (does anybody really think companies won't invest and take chances if the risk/rewar­d ratio is compelling­? That gaming the system through obtaining government support, incentives­, and guarantees to reduce risk is just part of the system?) and ensuring an open and freely competitiv­e marketplac­e.

Google took page(s) from Microsoft'­s playbook' Facebook is taking pages from Google's Playbook. Groupon and the like may be a biiger threat to Google that anything, or maybe it's something new we haven't thought of yet (but SOMEBODY is staying up late to work on the "new" idea) ..

It's much easier to act out ephemeral ideolgy than it is to offer solutions and discuss and defend them. So Liberals and Conservati­ves, Libertaria­ns and Progressiv­es, stop talking ideology and talk solutions that are backed by facts, by numbers, by budgets.

"Can't we all just be secular?"
