  1. Don't tell Daquixers this!
  2. Obviously because Byrd is the devil, everything revolves around him, or at least in Wacka's obsession it does.
  3. lol, I assumed he was talking more about the original land sales and less about the broad investigation. You are right though - they are the same damn thing. Edit - or, given his post right above me, he doesn't realize that Whitewater investigations was what dug up the whole Liewinski crap.
  4. Ugh, the only thing keeping me from going off on one of my "Reggie Bush is overhyped" rants is the fact that its a good photo. Anyway, another Saints photo for you. This is Adrian McPherson in a pre-season game.
  5. Just like most other businesses, follow the money.
  6. Practice what you preach.
  7. Of course, it also depends on what you call "media coverage" (CNN vs NY Times), whether you include editorials or not, and what time period of the Clinton administration that you are looking at. Its easy to manipulate the data based upon what criteria you are looking at. Generally, the research shows that self-censorship occurs for the two reasons above: A.) For money, or B.) in order to protect whoever is in power as to not alienate them as a source. As they get tons of news from the Administration and take their word on it for a multitude of reasons (goodbye investigative journalism), this causes them to invoke in reason B. Reason A occurs a helluva lot more in the that they tend to not publish negative information about their advertisers, supporters, the media, and company interests. When the "scandal" thats selling newspapers (such as the whole Clinton blow job bull sh-- or Whitewater) is from that source, they don't censor themselves and start being attack dogs. Its a balance for them between self-censorship and printing stuff that is negative toward the person in power (aka one fo their major sources). Case in point: NY Times' news stories in the lead up to the Iraq war. The reason why I say that the majority of Clinton news coverage was negative was that the media was playing as the attack dogs in this one by helping the Republicans drum up a scandal that shouldn't have been news in order to sell papers.
  8. People were joking about this on hornfans. All I can do is laugh at that idiot which sent that in.
  9. Because they aren't wrong.
  10. Any discussion about a playoff system is mute without taking into account University Presidents. They are the ones that are interfering in this - not the ADs.
  11. You're now using anecdotal evidence to attempt to prove that this is true? I would start by reading Sparrow and Kerbel's research on the issue.
  12. And I'm assuming you're basing this on your research of the media during Clinton's presidency?
  13. So your argument is that they are better because instead of crying about voter fraud, they are crying that the terrorists won? No, you're the !@#$ing moron. Both hardcore Republicans and Democrats are !@#$ing stupid, and you're right there with em. "We're better then them because we don't whine about the process, we whine about the people!" Yeah, okay, you dipshit.
  14. Yeah thats it, the media censored everything bad about Clinton. (If you look at the scholarly research, you'll find that the majority of the media was negative toward him)
  15. Moses was proof.
  16. Happens all the time. Its a result of two things: A.) Stories would hurt profits for a variety of reasons. B.) Stories would hurt their ability to get news from certain sources. Most of the time its A as the reason.
  17. We better stop the whole jail program then, it costs each tax payer a lot of money on people BREAKING THE LAW.
  18. You're the !@#$ing dolt. Sure, they aren't saying that. The very first thing that Colbert made fun of, the idea that the terrorists won, is the exact idea that Rush was spewing over and over on his show the next day. Sure, he's the !@#$ing dolt. The Republicans are such graceful losers.
  19. Don't they have to be documented in the hospital records though?
  20. Course, if people were to actually wake up, who the hell would they vote in that wouldn't become corrupt?
  21. You don't for two reasons: A.) Theres no way its good for the players on the team to attempt to lose. This causes players to become disgruntled and leave. B.) Most top-10 picks are overpriced for what you get anyway.
  22. Yeah, because ONE player means that all of them are going to not work out.
  23. The internet is srs business!
