Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.Second, the RNC plans to ask for an audit of possible excessive contributions to the Democratic nominee.

This is predictable but oh... so much BS!

All the while... NeoConMSM are pumping $BILLION$ everyday into the GOP cause... and not one frigging ¢ EVER reported!

I have filed dozens of complaints about this to the FCC and FEC... and gotten polite responses from both for each: "Thank you for your vigilance, and while your complaint may have merits, you have no standing (not being the offended or aggrieved candidate) so therefore your filing has been rejected and will not be pursued."

Could not sleep last night and flipped through the news channels to see if there were reports of earthquakes*.. and was SHOCKED to discover Hannity's America. What a horrible f**king piece of propaganda! THIS is why garbage like this... whether from the right or left... MUST be reported as "in kind" campaign contributions. It is a loop hole that must be closed.

Even under an Obama/Biden administration, there will be no restoration of the Fairness Doctrine... less from political perssure but more to do with business interests. The BEST we can hope for are rules to make sure this bastardization of the electoral process STOPS. IF political interests are going to be unrestricted from media control, it MUST be reported so the public can determine how much of their flow of information is really PROPAGANDA... disguised as news - and not bound by any commitment or even any hint of truth or factuality!

It will never happen under a Republican administration.... so here we have one more reason to elect Obama-Biden: A media accountable to the people!

29-days and counting.

*I have been feeling sickly for a few days.. with the kinds of aches and disorientation problems I always seem to get a day or two before major seismic activity - anywhere in the world. Been happening ever since I was a member of the Salvation Army relief team.. the first foreign crew to arrive in Mexico City after the 8.0 temblor in 1985. This time... it was a pair of quakes in Tibet!
