Fox News Women Reporters Deserve Respect

... New York in April; she holds a degree in mass communication from the University of California at Santa Barbara. (RICHARD DREW / ASSOCIATED PRESS). I am fortunate to have readers who enjoy my columns in print editions of The Republican as well as those who read them online at Mass __link__. It keeps me connected with many people who no longer live in this area, like former Holyoke resident Connie Slattery. Connie is among the readers who enhanced what I wrote in an April column about news reporters. Some readers thought I was too lenient about Brian Williams , saying he should be fined and jailed. Others thought I was too harsh and suggested he should be back on the air because he used to do a good job of reporting. Several people said I missed mentioning several women reporters of local news, while one person was very upset that I did not laud a certain male newscaster. However, happily many people were kind in their praise for the column and agreed with me ...

Fox Attacks $15 Min Wage With Falsehoods About Seattle Jobs Again

... Bureau of Labor statistics showing that Seattle gained food service jobs after raising its minimum wage to $15 an hour, Fox keeps telling its viewers jobs were lost there. Fox News “business block” show, Bulls & Bears, was a perfect example over the weekend. The topic was Vice President Joseph Biden’s support for Governor Andrew Cuomo’s call for a $15 an hour minimum wage on top of New York State approving a $15 minimum wage for fast food workers. Conservative panelist Ashley Pratte wasn’t celebrating, she was scaring people. “Careful what you wish for, because this is going to end up costing a serious amount of jobs” she said. “What we have seen in California and Seattle are that businesses are closing their doors, hiring less people because they can’t afford to do it. Or better yet, let’s put kiosks in place of people because they don’t need health care, and they don’t need mandated sick leave.” Pratte called the plan a “political charade.”. Chuck Rocha, the lone liberal on the panel, said, “If you’re me, the first thing you’re going to ...

Modern Media Has Turned The Usa Into The Divided States Of America

... The advent of the Internet further splintered the dissemination of information into thousands of outlets. Today, the very same media which used to unify us (at least with regard to communal experiences and a commonality of basic information), is now the force which most actively divides our country. As someone who lives in the Los Angeles market, where about half the radio and television stations do not even broadcast in English, I can personally attest to how dramatic this change has been. Today, “Broadcasting” (other than the Super Bowl) no longer exists. It has been replaced by “Narrowcasting,” in which outlets are cynically designed to appeal to nothing but a tiny sliver of demographic for the purposes of maximizing advertising efficiency. This is destructive enough in the fantasy ...

Obama Bear Market' Myth Makers Turn To 'trump Rally

... continued its slide below 7,000 in March 2009, the conservative catcalls become a chorus. CNN's  Lou Dobbs , the self-proclaimed "Mr. Independent," announced on March 9, 2009, "This is now the Obama bear market." That same day, the  Wall Street Journal  declared, "The dismaying message here is that President Obama's policies have become part of the economy's problem." House Minority Leader  John Boehner  was among the Republican leaders bemoaning "the Obama economy" and insisted that since Obama's inauguration six weeks earlier, "Certainly the stock market hasn't acted very well." Later that month, the Journal's  Daniel Henninger  blasted Obama's "radical presidency". "A Democratic Party that was always anti-Wall Street is becoming anti- Main Street.". The  drumbeat hardly ended there. On March 8, 2009, Fox ...
