Those in the American Pravda are busy as beavers covering up stories which are completely newsworthy, but don't support their leftist agenda. It's shameful! Thankfully, we now have alternative news outlets where we can hear the truth.
First, after making a huge fuss over Levi Johnston's attacks on Sarah Palin and her family, he has now come out and admitted that he lied. Not a word from most in the press. It seeems it is their goal for people to continue to believe Levi's lies.
Secondly, the corrupt media is mum when it comes to Obama's new mission for NASA: to make Muslims feel good about their contributions to science. What exactly have Muslims contributed to science? Again, no coverage from ABC, NBC, CBS, the Washington Post, or the New York Times.
Thirdly, the government-run media refuses to run the racist video of the Black Panther dude, the same one who was intimidating voters in Philadelphia with his night stick on Election Day 2008, as he's loving on us whites. Well, not really. Actually, he wants to kill those of us who have white skin.
And last, but not least, the American Pravda forgot to mention that Obama's recess appointment to head Medicare and Medicaid, Donald Berwick, is a supporter of redistribution of wealth and healthcare rationing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but last I've heard, not a peep from ABC, NBC, or CBS. No wonder these corrupt news organizations are moving closer and closer to extinction. Americans want to hear the news--ALL of the news.
And I've noticed that you, Diogenes, one who typically has a gift for gab, have not bothered to comment on the Berwick appointment. What say you? Do you have living parents? Would you support the rationing of their healthcare? Are you man enough to oppose your beloved president on this subject, or would you throw your parents under the bus in support of Obama and his agenda?

Top 10 Things Obama Doesn't Want You to Know About Donald Berwick
by Michelle Oddis
"President Obama bypassed Congress Wednesday and through a 'recess appointment' put Donald Berwick -- a leading advocate of rationing healthcare -- in charge of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Berwick will now spear head efforts to cut $500 billion in Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Obama claims that he issued this executive order because Republicans were wasting time and playing games for 'political purposes.'
But the truth is -- as HUMAN EVENTS has been reporting -- Berwick is America's worst nightmare when it comes to healthcare reform.
Obama’s recess appointment was clearly an effort to avoid public hearings on Berwick’s controversial views.
Here are the TopTen things the Obama Administration didn’t want you to know about Berwick:
1. Donald Berwick, President Obama's nominee to administer Medicare and Medicare, has stated openly that he favors rationing healthcare 'with our eyes open.' He wants the government to be able to decide how much healthcare you and your family are entitled to.
2. Berwick believes for that healthcare to be effective we must redistribute wealth. 'Any healthcare funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition redistributional,' said Berwick.
3. Berwick is 'in love' with Britain’s National Heath Service. He called the British system -- that many here in the U.S. refer to as 'free for all, but worthless to many' -- a 'seductress' about which he is 'romantic.'
In an op-ed published in the Washington Post in 1992 Berwick stated about Britain: 'At last, a nation where healthcare is a right and carrying a semi-automatic machine gun is a privilege. Berwick also described a 'utopian' future in which the government is in complete control of the healthcare system.
4. Berwick believes that ultrasounds in normal pregnancies and cesarean sections amount to an 'assault' and wants to cut prenatal care programs.
'As many as 80% of hysterectomies are scientifically unnecessary, so are more than a quarter of the drugs used for ear infections, most of the ultrasounds done in normal pregnancies, and half of cesarean sections in the United States. Isn’t this, with all do respect, some form of assault and battery, however unintended,' said Berwick
5. Berwick has repeatedly expressed his support for a single-payer healthcare system. Berwick has stated that if he could 'wave a wand…
* Healthcare is a common good – single payer, speaking and buying for the common good;
* Healthcare is a human right – universality is a non-negotiable starting place;
* Justice is a prerequisite to health –equity is a primary quality goal.'
6. Berwick will cut the number of cardiac centers, cancer-care centers, neonatal intensive-care units, and high-level trama centers.
7. Berwick doesn’t trust the free market. 'Don't trust market forces,' instructs Berwick. Trust 'leaders with plans.'
'When you rely on incentives, market forces, competition, and upward reporting for excellence you are playing with fire. I believe it is better to rely instead whenever possible on spirit, purpose, learning cooperation and joy in work.'
8. Berwick will cut preventative care in cases such as mammograms and ultrasounds. 'One over demanding service is prevention; annual physicals, screening tests, and other measures that supposedly help catch disease early,' said Berwick in a 1998 Institute for Healthcare Improvement publication.
9. On 'End of Life Care,' Berwick stated in a 1993 speech that “only a minority of patients, families, and clinicians support prolonged use of life-sustaining procedures and dramatic interventions in the terminal states of illness, yet substantial use of these procedures continue.”
10. Berwick, highlights race as a factor in healthcare reform. 'It’s still true that race, minority race, especially being black in our country, is the strongest critique that we have about health,' said Berwick.

Johnston said that he said some things thot completely true",.. but he never stated what those "not completely true" things were, did he? So you make the equally incorrect assertion that everything he said was a lie.
Do you really have this much trouble understanding what's trie and what's false, or do you just adopt this ignorant attitude when discussing things that you really don't understand?
The whole NASA thing is overblown. The NASA chief was being interviewed by Al Jezeera and he was gilding the lily for their benefit.Is it really all that important? And are you really that ignorant to think that all Muslims have done is make bombs? How sad to be you, then.
As for the racist New Black Panther party member, who cares? It might have been "news" a year and a half ago, but not now. Does every racist in America get on TV? (I mean, of course, with the obvious exception of Faux Moise.)
As for the recess appointment of Berwick, I heard it on ABC (radio) Nws and saw it on NBC. What's your point, that MSM should have condemned Obama for his action? See, that's where you get it so screwed up again: you rightwingnuts are so used to getting "news" from opinion sources like Faux Noise and rightwingnut blogs, you don't understand teh difference between "news" and "opinion".
As far as rationing healthcare, the fact of the matter is that it's already being rationed. It always as, and it always will, unless and until EVERYONE receives the best medical care possible. Today, we ration it with the Almighty Dollar: if you can pay for it, you get tye best medical care. If you can't pay for it, you take what you can get. Don't pretend that that isn't rationing. It is. It's just rationing you feel comfortable with, because the odds are that you will be able to afford the medical care you might need.
And a liar like you challenging my manhood? That one really made me laugh! Does that work with your husband, Ms. MoreLies, 'cause it sure has no effect on me!
Diogenes, if you think what we have today is rationed healthcare, you ain't seen nothing yet.
From what I've gathered, you are not exactly a spring chicken. In the eyes of the Obama Administration, your life will not have that much value, despite your Obama lovefest. Prepare to wait months for medical treatment and as you grow in age, denial of medical treatment.
Welcome to an Obama nation. Can't say you weren't warned. Just suck up that pain and suffering. Do it for Obama.
I think blogger.com just ate my response, so here's the Readers' Digest bersion:
You've got no evidence AT ALL to show that there will be massive waits and even denials of care. None.
You extrapolate from foreign countries... countries that you'd not cite for ANYTHING else!
We're not required to make the mistakes they've made with their systems.
The American medical system is starting at a higher level of competence than many of those other countries. We're ahead of the game, so to speak.
The fear tactics of the ultraright don't work anymore. Your REAL fear is anything that might upset your comfortable status quo.
"What do you mean, my money can't buy me special privileges? How DARE you to suggest that I be treated like... like..... everyone else!"
Get over yourself, Chicken Little. It's a whole new world out there. The Luddites became extinct; learn a lesson.
You're right, Diogenes. I shouldn't have made that comment about Muslims. I took it off. But, for the life of me, I can't think of any their accomplishments. Even Arabic numerals originated in India.
Once again, everyone must be equal, whether or not a person has ever worked a day in their life or not. Typical socialist gov't employee response. Oh, i forgot, you will probably be exempt for this idiotic mess. If not, then you can always protest with your union thug buddies. Careful breathing that magic marker scent.
If you don't know, ask your kids. They would have learned about it in school.
Oh....
wait.....
never mind.
"There were no death panels in the (healthcare) bill … and to encourage that kind of fear is just the lowest form of political leadership. It’s not leadership. It’s demagoguery," said Inglis, one of three Republican incumbents who have lost their seats in Congress to primary and state party convention challengers this year.
Inglis said voters eventually will discover that you’re "preying on their fears" and turn away.
"I think we have a lot of leaders that are following those (television and talk radio) personalities and not leading," he said. "What it takes to lead is to say, 'You know, that’s just not right.' "
Bob Inglis, Republican congressman from South Carolina

That says it al in a nutshell. But, since Inglis was honest about it, the rightwingnuts in his state shot him down.
Diogenes, I am a product of the public school system, except for 3 years of school in the Middle East.
It's funny that when I homeschool my children, I've come across materials which I have no memory of learning. I've learned far more teaching my own children than I ever learned in high school or college.
Then continue your education.
