		<description>&lt;i&gt;Manufactured outrage. &lt;/i&gt;

One of the best and honest comments uttered recently by Obama is the declaration that while cable TV may be on a 24 hour news cycle, he is not. The previous administration tried to spin cable news to their advanatage. The current administration is trying to gets its work done while tuning out the annoying cable news chatter.</description>

		<description>Joel
&lt;i&gt;reality is by definition what is real. ... Reality is simply what it is.&lt;/i?

&lt;i&gt;And, in my view, what the reality is is that the mainstream media is worshipful to all things Obama and to the left. &lt;/i&gt;

So reality is simply what it is and, in your view,  it is

Do you realize within three sentences you went from asserting the existence of empirical objective reality to admitting reality depends on a person&#039;s viewpoint?</description>

		<description>Actually a think book of plan options have nothing to do with competition especially if the different options are all offered by the same company. Or if different companies offer wildly different policy options that defy comparison. True competition in the Adam Smith sense is not possible when services are bundled beyond comparison. 

And a true lefty disagrees with almost everything that comes out of Obama&#039;s mouth since he like most Democratic politicians is prone to compromise and/or appeasing the hyper-critical and sensitive right of America.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s remember these words for the future:  &quot;manufactured outrage.&quot;  Because I know I will having listened to the manufactured outrage of the left for the past eight years. 

And then there&#039;s Obama who says he wants competition in healthcare and that&#039;s why we need the government.  I wonder -- did he not look over that THICK book when he became a government employee listing ALL the DIFFERENT plans available to him as a federal government employee?  Yet with a straight face he says there is no competition.

And the leftys believe everything that comes out of this man&#039;s mouth without ever questioning him.</description>

		<description>Joel, the undying outrage in the media when Pres. Bush let go a few presidential appointee positions in the justice dept was because they refused to go after or otherwise failed to cooperate with the political agenda of the Bush administration. The Bush administration was the most egregious in history when it came to partisan political appointments.

It&#039;s called the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party. Ye who whines mightily when you see Democrats &quot;name calling&quot; seems to have no problem slurring the name of the Democratic Party. You sir are a hypocrite.

As far as reality being in between, look ay the two partisan media watch dog sites, Media Matters for America on the left, and News Busters on the right. One, Media Matters, almost always provide links to primary sources and background material to document the bias. It&#039;s very professionally done despite it&#039;s partisan leaning. News Busters on the other hand is full of allegations of bias that don&#039;t link to any primary sources, and contains a significant number of stories that criticize democrats, but have nothing to do with media bias. News Busters prominently features the &quot;News Busted&quot; video that does little more than insult Democrats. One side does a thorough and professional job of exposing bias, the other is little more than hateful smears. 

It&#039;s like that all over, compare Democracy Now or Bill Moyers Journal on PBS to any of the Fox Prime time programming. It&#039;s the difference between journalism and hateful propaganda. See for yourself. The truth has a well known liberal bias.</description>

		<description>SteveG, reality is by definition what is real.   It may have little to do with being &quot;in between&quot;, in front of, or behind other things.  Reality is simply what it is. 

And, in my view, what the reality is is that the mainstream media is worshipful to all things Obama and to the left.  You disagree with that.  Okay, I get that.  But there is no basis, necessarily, for saying it is &quot;in between.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Actually, “the reality” has nothing to do with “liberal sites.” &lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s what I said. It also has nothing to do with your far-right declarations. 

It is in between.</description>

		<description>Politics is the religion of Secular Progressives. &quot;Ethics&quot; is defined as &quot;political morality&quot; or &quot;politically correctness&quot;.  Those who disagree are heretics.

Obama would like to redefine bioethics in order to fit in with his sweeping health care changes.  Abortion, Euthanasia, Cloning, stem cell research, embryo farming and matters of health and race will all better suit Obama&#039;s brave new world view.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s really sad how hyper-partisanship distorts a person&#039;s view of everything. 

Joel Mark says: &lt;i&gt;There is no such thing as “press coverage” anymore; only press worship.&lt;/i&gt;

On liberal sites, I read hundreds of complaints about how &lt;i&gt;anti&lt;/i&gt; Obama the media is.
