Kulturkampf Fox is one news agency with a right lean.

Can you now name countless newspapers and broadcast corporations that are left?

I can.

Kulturkampf I really think i tis, Chojin.

Are Republicans supposed to call their bills 'HR504.12' or should they try to make it sound remotely appealing?

The media, on the other hand, generally should have a pretense of objectivity.

Chojin You're right, that's way better.

Kulturkampf The difference is that the right wing is trying to make their own ideas sound appealing, and the MEDIA is trying to make the left wings ideas sound appealing, plus

those are the names of actual acts and bills, and rather, not the act of renaming an illegal alien to sound less criminal.

You're my favorite poet.

Dr. Boogie Was Santa Claus considered a Communist? I mean, he did wear red, and he did give presents to kids the world over. On the other hand, he seems to promote materialism, and he seems to endorse child labor. It's a delicate conundrum.

Congress Vs. "Undocumented Immigrants"

Quote:
May 17 (Bloomberg) -- The Senate today agreed to exclude as many as 500,000 criminal aliens from a plan that would offer undocumented immigrants legal status, while approving the construction of 350 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Senate also rejected an amendment that would have completely eliminated the plan to offer a path to citizenship to undocumented immigrants, as lawmakers debate the largest overhaul of U.S. immigration policies since 1986.
Thankfully some conclusions have been made, but being that it is Congress I have a feeling thatin the end no one is actually going to be truly happy with the results. Here are soome odd points:

(1) Interestingly, it took an act of Congress to bar felon illegal aliens from gaining citizenship (!?). I am rather impressed how it was even considered that illegal aliens would get citizenship, let alone criminal illegal aliens (though the phrase actually becomes redundant).

(2) We are building a fence that is not adequately guarded, and probably will not be adequately guarded, until Congress makes further conclusions. There is a good chance that the fence will not stop illegal immigrants but merely force them to bring more iron cutters.

(3) Bloomberg is looking pretty liberal in its' disguise of words. It has chosen to refer to illegal aliens, illegal immigrants or whatever word you prefer as 'undocumented immigrants.'

As if to say that there are 'documented immigrants' who just so happen to have their papers in order, and then these poor 'undocumented immigrants.' It sounds like they forgot their passport on the way over, or somebody wasn't working the border that day and they just accidentally slipped in and forgot to register later.

It is amazing that we live in a world where we can come up with such comfortable, pleasing titles as 'undocumented immigrants' for people who illegally trespassed in our nation. It is like calling vandals 'unlicensed artists' or thieves 'undocumented purchasers.'

It helps show us how inane the PC can get. Frankly, when I see such word-play as that, I am almost impressed that somebody went out of their way to think of more pleasant titles for them.

Leftists always make the best poets -- they have ways of manipulating words until "illegal" becomes the equivalent of "undocumented."

But, there never has been a liberal bias or an agenda amongst leftists to use the media to manipulate public opinion -- not even once. It is not as if Antonio Gramsci proposed that leftists concentrate on establising themselves deep in the educational, journalistic, and cultural centers of the nation to slowly influence people towards adoption of progressive socialist policies which would climax into scientific socialism, the great word coined by V. I. Lenin when he wanted to scientifically demonstrate the truths of Communism (another great idea from the men in red).
