Finally, some damn news AP!

It's about time that the FREE press in this Country stop spewing government propaganda. They're all guilty of it, including AP -- but most especially FAUX News (the former Bush propaganda channel).

Thanks AP, I thought you might have been losing yourself to the complex.

Tom Curley,

If anyone should take a listen to any of my original 74 songs that I've thus far posted at my You Site (BertGriffin88), it's you. If you get some time take a listen to my songs: "Tumbled Down Town", "We're The Dominators", "Trust Me Baby, I Can Handle What's Wrong", "Neda's Song (Angels Are Flying, Flying Away) God's Wrath", and "I Am...The Irrelevant American. Because of Associated Press, I am able to post my songs with videos that seem to have like subject matter. Thanks.

It makes sense to me. As of recently, governments around the Planet are using powers that we as constituents give them, to do questionable actions such as: War without end, detain "terrorists", torture.

Anyone that is ok with governments doing this don't really have an answer or a valid opinion because they don't know all of the information by both sides, only what news channels say.

Always question everything, and we'll live more informed, not in ignorance of what is really happening.

Are you kidding me?

Wait for the guys in the USAF right now to come out with declassified info on the latest technology on listening devices alone.

You are in for a surprise.

Maybe our news will be more than a shot from far away of after the conflict?

Why does everyone seem to think that everything is controlled all the time? Do I think they creep their grubby little fingers into stuff all the time, yes, but do they control info all the time? No way. People who own forms of media have way more power than any government. Ad also, only I will die for my sins. Period.

your ramblings don't make sense. please clarify your thoughts also, how old are u?

Obama is a puppet he has already bombed Pakistan and won't prosecute his cousins Bush and Cheney oh and they are cousins literally. CNN is just as controlled and Fox news CNN is just meant to program the shitheads into believing they have to sterilize themselves to save other earth and that an orgy with Obama and Al Gore will save them. Liberalism is controlled opposition Conservativism is controlled opposition your heroes are bought and paid for Bush was meant to be hated so you'd love Obama.
