Here possibly comes state-controlled media. I don't know what country I'm living in anymore. CNN and MSNBC are already there anyway.

This is the same nutty lady that Bill OReilly was talking about the other night. It's alarming! She's advising the Pentagon and she has top secret clearance to our security!

This country is changing faster than I can keep up with it. My head is spinning at the pace that Obama is bringing in his far-left agenda. God help us!




But "Talking Points" is becoming concerned about Obama's world view, because this week something truly incredible happened that few Americans know about. Radical leftist Rosa Brooks has been appointed to advise Undersecretary of Defense Michele Flournoy at the Pentagon. The action is stunning because Ms. Brooks is so out there.

As a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, Brooks consistently went to extremes.

In October 2007 she wrote: "George W. Bush and Dick Cheney shouldn't be treated like criminals who deserve punishment. They should be treated like psychotics who need treatment."

March 2009: "The Bush administration's big legal lies paved the way for some of the most shameful episodes in our history, including the official authorization of torture."

Ms. Brooks also supported the Iraqi who threw his shoes at President Bush: "He reminded the powerful and powerless alike that a single symbolic gesture can be more effective than a thousand grenades."

And this woman is a top adviser in the Defense Department? Are you kidding me? Is Michael Moore not available? What the hell is going on?

Want more? Rosa Brooks was special counsel to George Soros' Open Society Institute. And now she has access to America's defense secrets at the Pentagon?

Again, what the deuce is going on? This is madness.

We called Undersecretary Flournoy and got zero from her. Then we called other Defense Department officials whom we know. They told us they are shocked.

So let's recap: A confirmed far-left radical is now operating within the Pentagon, a woman who was shockingly irresponsible in her attacks on the Bush administration and who has worked with George Soros. And we have a country, Spain, that may attempt to embarrass America in front of the world.

What say you, President Obama?

All the mainstream media is state-controlled anyway. It's just set up to look like it isn't. Which makes it more effective.

I think it's the other way around. The media controls the state.
The media decides which stories to cover, how to frame those stories, which politicians to investigate and which politicians to cover up for. They are unelected yet they have more influence in this country than any politician.

Well, I actually believe what is going on is that the same handful of elitists control both the state and the media, trying to make sure they appear seperate.

I always find it funny when I read an article on CNN mentioning some other countries "state-controlled media"... like how in this North Korea thing they kept saying "North Korea's state-run media said blah blah blah"... as if ours is free or something... :rolleyes Nope, the system of control we have here is just more elaborate and well-hidden

Ok, did somebody move the United States to Russia while I was sleeping last night? This is what Russia and China do, NOT the United States I know! :doh silly me, I forgot that we don't live in a country where unbiased news is reported anymore, but the news according to king 0...what was I thinking.
