There’s a social media site whose glitzy videos populate your newsfeed. Its content overflows with typical leftist tropes. No, it’s not CNN or MSNBC. You should know what it is and the nefarious people backing it. Raheem Kassam, author of No Go Zones, explains why, when you come across these videos, you should swipe left. More from PragerU.
A memo uncovered in China is warning the country’s Communist Party to stay away from Western ideas. And President Obama passed out the same memo to Democrats last week! Jodi Miller also discusses the antics of Hillary Clinton, Anthony Wiener and Chloe Kardashian on this week’s edition of Newsbusted.
The Al Jazeera America network made its long-anticipated debut in the U.S. last week. Says Jodi Miller, “It’s the perfect choice for people who hate America, but can’t stand watching MSNBC!” Miller also weighs in on WikiLeaks whistleblower Bradley Manning’s recent announcement to get a sex change and Anthony Wiener’s response, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner’s resignation and the impending government shutdown in this edition of NewsBusted.
Watch out for the Flying Monkeys as the Obama Administration takes aim against guns. You can hear the cackling. “I’ll get you my pretty…and your Bill of Rights, too.” Meanwhile, the staffers at Current TV are scrambling to find new jobs now that Al “Jazeera” Gore has sold the network. Hear all this and about Bill Clinton living out his Oedipal fantasies in this edition of The Great Eight with Ben Crystal.
Dick Morris, who used to work for Al Gore, lays into his old boss for selling Current TV to Al Jazeera for $500 million. Al Jazeera wants a platform to promote Islamic jihad right smack in the United States, Morris warns. But already some powerful opposition is materializing to the deal. Time Warner cable carried Current TV but says it won’t carry Al Jazeera’s broadcasts. Will other cable and satellite systems follow suit and snub the Arab propagandists? Stay tuned.
Obama leaves the real work to the “professionals.” They’re certainly scraping the barrel for heroes these days. And — THAT is CNN? All this, plus: Al Gore cashes in with Al Jazeera as Ben Crystal presents The Great Eight from the Personal Liberty Digest.
It’s official: Al Gore’s bumbling, laughably low-rated Current TV network will now become an arm of Arab propagandists. Qatari-owned news network Al Jazeera has finalized a deal to buy the American liberal cable channel and transform it into Al Jazeera America. Now that Al Gore has become Al “Jazeera” Gore, how long before MSNBC sells out to the Russians?
Sunday’s Presidential election in Venezuela pits Socialist strongman Hugo Chavez against the most formidable opponent he has faced in his 14 years in office. Coalition opposition leader Henrique Capriles has gained ground by waging an aggressive door-to-door campaign. But even Capriles describes himself as a David facing a Goliath, and recent polls show him trailing by about 10 percent. Chavez enjoys clearcut advantages, including billions of dollars in oil-funded handouts to court key voter blocs. Al Jazeera reports from Venezuela on the run-up to the election.
Richard Beales and Raul Gallegos with Reuters discuss how Chavez raids the treasury of PDVSA, the Venezuelan state oil company, to bankroll his political and social programs. As a result, PDVSA is now a debt-ridden enterprise, forced to pay its suppliers with IOUs.
