Fort Hood Massacre: A Day of Courage and Cowardice A self-described "devout Muslim" who praised suicide bombers opens fire on brave American soldiers — and most people in the mainstream media insist there is no sign of terror. November 6, 2009 - by Bruce Bawer The brave soldiers who were massacred at Fort Hood had trained to fight the jihadist enemy abroad. But they seem to have ended up being murdered by the same enemy on American soil, in a place where they thought they were safe — murdered, apparently, because a series of military and medical officials recognized what was going on with this major and chose to do nothing about it.Orlando office building locked down after shooting

Even before Barack Obama was elected to the presidency, Rupert Murdoch had declared war on him via the personalities of Fox News Channel, a subsidiary of Murdoch's media conglomerate, News Corp.
Since Obama's election, the cable channel's hosts and paid analysts have launched a full frontal assault on the president, smearing his nominees, calling him a racist and suggesting that his administration was trying to persuade disabled veterans to off themselves.
Now the fearmongers at Fox are crying foul since the president and his aides declared Fox not to be a news organization.

Out-Fox the Democrats
The following is a copy of an email I received this week from the Obama camp. Apparently Fox is one of the few media outlets which is dispensing REAL information and it is making Obama and his minions nervous. Seems they have forgotten our country has "FREE SPEECH" which includes the ability to have opinions which may not agree with those of our lofty leader.
The democrats are SO scared that they actually are spending a great deal of money to attempt to thwart FOX NEWS and their ability to perhaps share some inconvenient information that Obama is really uncomfortable about ANY of us reading. Interesting isn't it! A president of the United States is advocating limiting our free speech and fair information! That smells like a rat. NOTE: I did not change this email except removing their links. I refuse to help them in this goal.
Dear MoveOn member,
All year, FOX has worked 24/7 to block President Obama's agenda—repeating lies about "death panels," promoting Tea Party protests, and whipping up fake political scandals.1
Now, President Obama is fighting back.
