Robert Reich Reveals Brutal Health Care Truths; MSM Snores
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2009/10/13/robert-reich-reveals-brutal-health-care-truths-msm-snores
Aha! So it turns out that Grayson was right when he said "Republicans want you to die quickly." Only one "little" problem here. That quote did not come from a Republican. In fact it came from the very liberal former Labor Secretary Robert Reich who is now an economics adviser for Barack Obama.

Dems Lock Out The GOP – Media Laughs
Partisan anger in House brings lockout of committee Republicans
By Ben Pershing
Friday, October 23, 2009
The House of Representatives, ever the rowdier and more populist of the two chambers of Congress, has been the scene of incessant partisan warfare in 2009, as each party appears to be in a near-constant state of outrage over the behavior of the other.
The picture got uglier this week when Democrats on a House committee changed the locks on a hearing room door in retaliation for an embarrassing video posted online by panel Republicans. What started as a dispute over an oversight probe blossomed into a mini-melodrama, with each side accusing the other of petty and childish behavior.
This latest blow to interparty relations started last week in the Rayburn House Office Building.
Last Thursday, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee was set to hold a routine business meeting. Before the session, its ranking Republican, Rep. Darrell Issa (Calif.), made clear that he planned to call for the panel to subpoena Bank of America for documents related to Countrywide Financial Corp.’s infamous "Friends of Angelo" VIP mortgage program…
When Thursday’s committee meeting began, however, the Democrats were absent, and Republican members said they waited for more than half an hour before being told the session had been canceled because of scheduling conflicts. Democrats, meanwhile, were meeting in a private room behind the hearing room.
A Republican aide videotaped Democratic lawmakers leaving that gathering through a back door. The GOP interspersed that tape with footage of empty chairs from the main hearing room, and posted the video on the committee’s minority Web site (and YouTube), set to the tune, "Hit the Road, Jack."
The majority was not pleased.
On Monday, panel Democrats had the lock changed on the door leading from the GOP’s office space into the main hearing room. They did so, Towns’ office said, because Republicans "don’t know how to behave." …
To critics, the scuffle is the latest symptom of the chamber’s poisonous atmosphere.
"It’s been the worst since I started my career on Capitol Hill in 1959," said David Abshire, a former House aide and expert on civility who heads the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress.
Squabbling over committee rooms is not new on Capitol Hill. In 2003, the House Ways and Means Committee erupted into warfare after the panel’s chairman, Rep. Bill Thomas (R-Calif.), summoned the Capitol Police to evict Democrats from a committee room in which they were huddling during a contentious markup of a pension reform bill. (Amid the bickering, one Democratic lawmaker repeatedly called a Republican a "fruitcake.") Thomas ended up delivering a tearful apology on the House floor.
But these days even apologies seem scarce. Democrats wanted — but did not receive — an apology in September from Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), who yelled "You lie!" at President Obama during an address to a joint session of Congress. A few weeks later, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) declined to apologize for saying of the GOP’s health-care plans: "Republicans want you to die quickly." …
As for the latest dispute, tempers have cooled. Issa and Towns met Wednesday to chart a way forward in the Countrywide investigation, and by Thursday, committee Republicans had taken down the offending video.
The hearing room door remained locked.
Note how a story about Democrats locking Republicans out of a hearing room is so concerned about given us a full explanation of the slights on both sides.
Democrats control every branch of government. And yet they are resorting to unprecedented bullying tactics, such as cutting off microphones and lights, jimmying procedural rules to cut Republicans out of the legislative process.
And now they are locking the opposition out of hearing rooms in the House of Representatives.
This should outrage an independent press. But, alas, our watchdog media is owned lock stock and barrel by the Democrat party. So we get watered down accounts like this.
You see, both sides do it.
And after all, partisanship is to blame.

"resorting to unprecedented bullying tactics, such as cutting off microphones and lights"
You mean like Bill O'Reilly on Fox? He is such a trendsetter.
"This should outrage an independent press. But, alas, our watchdog media is owned lock stock and barrel by the Democrat party. "
I'm sure Fox is "outraged"...probably for the 50th time of the day about something.
Independent media is just that...not owned by large corporations nor any political party. There is a difference between independent and corporate media. You really should check out what's there.
The conservative folks at Clear Channel and Sinclair are probably reeling in their chairs upon reading your post and discovering they are owned by Democrats.
"And after all, partisanship is to blame."
Oh, and what is the network that does the most to inflame issues and divide our country...wait....don't tell me....oh yeah, Mainstream Media Fox "News".

RIP, Jack Nelson; Editor Didn't Always Favor Digging Out 'Hidden Facts'
The Washington Post warmly remembered longtime Los Angeles Times reporter and Washington Bureau Chief Jack Nelson in a Thursday obituary headlined "L.A. Times reporter was driven by his conscience." Nelson was hailed by many for courageous reporting of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. The Post’s Patricia Sullivan pulled this tribute from the Associated Press:
"He maintained that the main thing people want from newspapers is facts -- facts they didn't know before, and preferably facts that somebody didn't want them to know. Jack was tolerant of opinion writers; he respected analysis writers, and he even admired one or two feature writers. But he believed the only good reason to be a reporter was to reveal hidden facts and bring them to light."
But that’s not entirely true. Nelson didn’t support revealing hidden facts when his own newspaper dug into Bill Clinton’s use of Arkansas state troopers for sexual conquests. He suggested "right wingers" were wrong to suggest he was so opposed to it that he threatened to resign. But he clearly disliked the story, and had wanted to subject the troopers to polygraph tests:

2% GDP Under Bush Was A Recession
Remember how the press reported the economy’s uptick back in the second quarter of 2008 during the Bush administration?
As we noted at the time, the reports were universal – this growth was all due to the temporary tax rebates that Mr. Bush had mailed out. And, if anything, it just showed that the recession was going to be even worse.

New York Times to lay off news service workers
NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Times News Service, which repackages Times stories for other media outlets, is laying off at least 25 employees.
Those cuts are in addition to the 100 newsroom jobs the Times plans to eliminate by the end of the year, according to New York Times Co. spokeswoman Diane McNulty.
New nonunion jobs will be created at the Times Co.'s Gainesville Sun in Florida to handle editing the wire service.
Bill O'Meara, head of the New York Newspaper Guild, said union contracts give it 60 days to try to persuade the Times to reverse its decision. While the Times will be able to save money by paying nonunion workers less, O'Meara said the news service will be giving up "years of experience and know-how."
The Times Co. will also stop making contributions to the pension plans of nonunion workers throughout the company. Instead the company will contribute an additional amount, equal to 3 percent of their salaries, to their 401(k) plans.
The Times, like newspapers across the country, is cutting costs as advertising revenue falls.
