Gimme a break!!

what's the name of the song in the beginning?

[BelvasDaughter]

It's called "Scandalize My Name." It's an old spiritual, sung by one of America's greatest basses, Paul Robeson. You can buy it as a single on iTunes or buy the whole album, Ballad for Americans, which features other wonderful songs, including the magnificent Ol' Man River, which became Robeson's signature song.

Robeson, an African-American, was treated abominably by Hollywood and was finally blacklisted for his connections to the Communist party. See Wikipedia for more info.

Bret Baire, the same guy at Fox (Fixed) "news" who snarled about "Global Warming" while citing a few nights of "colder temps". So typical of Fox "news", who lies that it's "fair & balanced" but hires Reagan's Oliver North & Bush's Karl Rove.

1.) Warming theory PREDICTS both COLDER & WARMER imbalances..

2.) Thousands of scientist confirmed global warming.

3.) NASA confirmed Greenland & Arctic ice sheets are shrinking.

4.) Glacier National Park is down from about 150 glaciers in 1910 to 27 now.

This is like sending Sean Hannity to investigate racism.

biaskinquestion,

neocons. strategically prepared their soil, so that what they do became is considered mainstream. u can say there is bias everywhere, but there is also sometimes somebody who disqualifies with his.

Everybody has a bias in some way or another. I think you need to get out of your owndenial because CNN also spreads lies. Face reality.  You're living in a bubble of your own ideals friend.
