Some facts...
In April of this year Fox News Channel's average number of primetime viewers was 445,000. Outside of prime that number plummets. The New York Times daily circulation nationwide in March was 1,136,433.
As of July this year there were 295,734,134 people in America.
State controlled media? They sure aren't doing a very good job.

I have to say, I'm a little tired of people who do damage to other people their entire lives and then, two weeks before the grave, admit they were wrong. And I'm tired of the people who admire them for it.

The difference between Jesse Helms and Roy Cohn is that Roy Cohn was gay but they are (were) evil.

Liberal Server got it right about the video: It's basically propoganda.
I say this in spite of the fact that one party rule from the right seems to be moving toward a sort of "fascism lite". Bush is not another Hitler, but he has this folksy demogoguery to him that gets people to ignore the tough questions we should be asking him.
