Neil Cavuto blames recent stock market volatility on uncertainty of Bushs
re-(s)election!

Do you believe the garbage that is being sent over the airwaves? This idiot is actually saying Wall Street likes Bush and the recent selloff is uncertainty that Bush might not win come November.

Sorry, but this free press is not working, call me socialist, I don't care, but we need government intervention and regulation. We need balanced news. Would Americans accept it if KKK style media was what the population wanted and hence dominated the airwaves?

Americans are being brainwashed!

fight back any way: Media emails:
Here are some of the media email addresses I use quite often. If enough people send emails demanding the truth on Bush, they may be compelled to report if they feel their credibility is threatened. SO LETS THREATEN IT!!!!!!

<MTP@NBC.com > Meet the Press
<letters@newsweek.com > Newsweek
<countdown@msnbc.com > Keith Olbermann
<mailto:letters@washpost.com > Washington Post
<viewerservices@msnbc.com > MSNBC Main
<hardball@msnbc.com > Chris Matthews

2. Neil Cavuto and Faux News Are Republican Propagandists
Stop watching them. I use my parental controls to block out that channel entirely. Republicans are going to use fear to win. Fear of terrorism. Fear of stock market crashes, etc. That's the only way they can win. Get Americans scared.

6. Stop watching right-wing propaganda on TV
I stopped watching TV news and canceled my cable subscription out of disgust at Bush's selection several years ago. I don't miss the right-wing propaganda one bit. Why not organize a boycott of the most rabid TV stations/programs and publicize it. If advertisers realize they can't reach us via those programs, they might force change.

No boycotts, No threats
Doesn't matter to them. Useless effort.

3. Using that logic
couldn't you say that the recession that they blame on Clinton could have been caused by the uncertanity of who was going to be President.

7. I would say that bro...
...if I were a graduate of the Wharton School of business. But since my roots are more from the practical side of the mid-west, this last recession was engineered by the federal reserve chair, Alan GreenSPAM, who tightened money during Clinton's last year, claiming inflation was shaking its ugly heads, (when no such threat was imminent at all). Then Bush and his cronies steal the election and squeeze the crap out of fiscal programs, ramming through not one but three tax cuts, prolonging the recession with totally failed and inappropriate 'givernement to the rich' policies. The last two quarters of growth came from not the consumer spending, but from military government fiscal spending, the old "guns and butter" trade-offs. Controlled wars can be good for certain segments of the economy.

The last three and half years under Bush have been total smoke and mirrors, lies, give aways to the corporate big shots. Oh, by the way, small businesses closed by the 1,000's under Bush. The new small businesses that he brags about helping, most of them independent contractors. Managers, former business owners, engineers, professionals, who lost their jobs and are taking anything they can as self employed workers, using whatever skills they have to make ends meet. If Bush really wants to help small businesses grow, he'll set up special tax breaks for this group alone, but they can in no way compete with the tax breaks Bush's policies have set up for the rich and big corporations. :(

4. 95% of wall street types are repug shills
so are majority of small business owners, executives
in large corporations and the military. But we have
majority of the rest of them, including teachers, blacks,
aliens, those on disability, those on social security,
those who believe in right to choose abortion, hispanics,
to name a few. We are the majority. We have the power to
tax away the ill gotten gains of the rich people and help
those who either can not work or do not like working.
