It's pretty easy to see that the media is corrupted.
Just look at all the environmental issues that they leave out of their broadcasts.
If people knew about the environmental issues we face with deforestation, fossil water, fossil fuels, food system instability, food system control(monsanto), untested and unverified chemical releases, it would be far more obvious to the skeptics.
However, that being said, it is just their government given right. They are after all, a corporation which as made law by the supreme court, has the right to freedom expression and the capacity to distort, hide, scapegoat and flat leave pertinent facts out of their programming.
Still my problems with the Iranian regime, as well and the chinese regime, stem out of their lack of sovreign rule and their authoritatve stances that can be easily verified in their constitutions, etc.

I read the title: FOX news deceptively edits video from (sounds normal) 2011 CPAC (WHAT?!?!?!? )
This reminds me of an article I recently read about a recent fox news insider who came out and said that they just lie. http://mediamatters.org/blog/201102100007 http://www.truth-out.org/fox-news-insider-stuff-just-made-up67706 I haven't found the original media source this guy went to, but to quote the insider and bring this back to the OP topic.
Quote:
“For the first few years it was let’s take the conservative take on things. And then after a few years it evolved into, well it’s not just the conservative take on things, we’re going to take the Republican take on things which is not necessarily in lock step with the conservative point of view.
“And then two, three, five years into that it was, we’re taking the Bush line on things, which was different than the GOP. We were a Stalin-esque mouthpiece. It was just what Bush says goes on our channel. And by that point it was just totally dangerous. Hopefully most people understand how dangerous it is for a media outfit to be a straight, unfiltered mouthpiece for an unchecked president.”
I think what we see here is the continuity of that narrative, some of the things that make RP popular are in opposition to a lot of the bush era policies that FOX news has gotten staunchly behind. So it's no surprise that they are treating him like a political opponent. It is also possible that Fox news is looking at RP as a person who will drift the republicans from the direction that Fox would prefer them to be heading. I'm not sure what RP says other than his stance on militarism that could cause Fox to give him (what used to be) the liberal treatment.

What you see there is Media Matters playing funny. Name the source. Hell, they didn't even identify what was supposedly made up. Which seems to me a rather suspicious case of neglect. Media Matters is a joke.

This really angered me and made me even sadder about the state of politics in the US. I don't affiliate with 'sides', repub and dems have both lost their way. I'm gonna hold back from ranting on that and stay on topic though.
With the bleak future that either democrat or republican potential leaders display, I have always been excited for Ron Paul. Whether or not people payed more attentional to him was okay by me, I figured if his views resonanted with the people that he would rise up on people's radars.
So it just sickens me that a political entertainment channel (a by-product of our joke of a political atmosphere, fox and msnbc being the big ones for each side) would do something like this.
This shows media perhaps at its worst. Its one thing to point fingers and bad mouth the other side but to tarnish ones image on national TV for the sake of political interests is disgusting.
Say what you will about fox but to me this shows that their interest isnt in what is best for the country. The vote shows that republicans think Paul is the best choice. Fox wants you to think he's a joke.
Disgusting.

Quoted. For posterity. Fossil water?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_water
Fossil water or paleowater is groundwater that has remained sealed in an aquifer for a long period of time. Water can rest underground in "fossil aquifers" for thousands or even millions of years. When changes in the surrounding geology seal the aquifer off from further replenishing from precipitation, the water becomes trapped within, and is known as fossil water.
The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System is among the most notable of fossil water reserves. Fossil aquifers also exist in the Sahara, the Kalahari, and the Great Artesian Basin. A further potential store of ancient water is Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake in Antarctica.
Fossil water is a non-renewable resource.[1] Whereas most aquifers are naturally replenished by infiltration of water from precipitation, fossil aquifers get very little recharge.[2] The extraction of water from such non-replenishing groundwater reserves (known as low safe-yield reserves) is known in hydrology as "water mining".[3] If water is pumped from a well at a withdrawal rate that exceeds the natural recharge rate (which is very low or zero for a fossil aquifer), the water table drops, forming a depression in the water levels around the well.[2] Water mining has been blamed for contributing to rising sea levels.[4]

Enviro dingbats sure do come up with a buncha shit, don't they? Why would anybody give a shit about losing fossil water? If anything it would be a good thing to deplete it. Gets more water in the cycle. Did you know that water isn't used? It's true. 100% of it just passes through and falls back as rain again. 100%

Yeah? What's that? Your pool? Guess what happens to 100% of the water in it? It evaporates and falls back as clean rain. Amazing. Water does not get used up. It may become polluted but eventually 100% of it evaporates and falls back as clean rain. Even if we didn't do one single thing to clean it.Quote:

Acid rain has nothing to do with what was in the water when it evaporated, child. Did you take one single chemistry class? And that pond with a pipe into it? Are you telling me that's rainfall?

Never said it did. Above pic is from the Alberta tar sands, where the tailing pools are proving nearly impossible to process back into usable water.

This statement is obviously wrong. Acid rain is not falling back to earth as "clean rain".

 Acid rain is a function of air pollution.
Water does not get used up. Every fucking drop of it evaporates and is recirculated. We don't use up water. We rent it. Briefly.
And by the way, acid rain is barely acidic and safe to drink.

Chemicals in water evaporate, just like water does, zappa.
I think the proper term may be 'volatilize' but I could be incorrect. It's some fancy term.
But the shit in polluted waters have the ability to get into the air, just like water does.
And if not in the air, the stuff flushes with water into the rivers and streams and fuck up the liveability of the water for aquatic animals and the terrestrial animals that drink out of them.
You're no scientist so don't pretend to be.

Let's try this again. So what? It never fucking ends. If it was fossil water that just means it had been isolated from the normal water cycle of evaporation/precipitation. Sequestered. Buried. Hidden. Untouched. If it becomes part of the system that is a good thing. Or not, actually. It is a "no" thing. Fossil water does not become "notwater". It's still fucking water. It still exists. Tap it and you don't have fossil water anymore you have water. It isn't less water. If it had been of any use it wouldn't have become fossil water.
Do you really think that it is important to preserve "fossil water"? If so, why? So we can think about water that is invisible? Enviroweenies. 
What a complete jerkoff concept.
