This is a few weeks old but yet it makes a valid point. The fact that there is no accountability as to how the bailout money is spent is blatantly obvious here.

As much as I dislike Fox News they are no less credible than CNN, or the rest. Just because you don't like them doesn't make them a invalid source.

I do apologize for using foxnews as a source of accurate information; i didn't know that wasn't allowed.

Hopefully these links will help you find something credible.

You mean ONN, the Obama News Network. They can finally take "C" Clinton off the name now. That network can't stop with the Obama feel good stories that have nothing to do with his Presidency, but have more to do with flattering his ego.

Here is a better source of news

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3096434/

The New York Times is also a good source as well as anything else Bill O'Reilly hates

Keep in mind that it was Fox news that tried to convince the American people that GWB was doing a great job.

Fox is Unfair, unbalanced and mostly bulls#it.

And MSNBC + NY Times are all well known left-wing support news sites. Just check with the MSNBC anchors who said Obamas election gave them tingles.

At least I will admit that some of the FNC stuff is crap but I don't listen to them for their perspectives (or those of Hannity, O'Reiley) but for the news. Unfortunately it seems the other news channels make their perspectives the news.

Yeah, Cake gets his news from a secret source, untouched by human hands and unsullied by biases.

He also would prefer to attack the source, than actually put any thought into a functional rebuttal, but we've come to expect that from him.

Nisangirl, stick around. Dont mind Teleco or cake, their opinions and posts dont really hold much if any water around here.

Attacking the OP based on her source, ESPECIALLY for this subject shows that your a retard. You'v been discredited enough to know that your opinions arnt welcome here because they are fallacious, you dont back them up, and you are generally well, retarded. So you jump all over someone who has displayed intellect and is trying to get involved in our community over bull ****. You. FAIL. hard. again, and again, and again.

This was a bone headed idea for Chrysler. I understand the desire to want to thank the American people and try to build some PR, but ffs, dont do it with a large sum of the money we just gave you. Didnt they learn anything from flying private jets into Washington? These companies are showing more and more mismanagement by the day.

Sidenote.. The BBC is probably the best, most unbiased news source thats available to us.

Instead of name calling... why dont you focus on the original post and that 2 weeks old Chrystler talk. x2

... and Ms.Nissan, please do not feel attacked. There isn't anything said on this political side of the forum worth feeling attacked.... trust me and tell these boys to let you speak for yourself. I seriously doubt if you even feel "attacked" These wanna be foot soilders for the right can be sensitive 98% of the time, but I still say FoxNews is

Now, for the rest of you using the CakeDaddys name in vain.....stick to the original post and get off my jock!

I think most here would agree with you. The problem is, almost all the US media is equally as BS, just in a different direction. The sewers run under everyone's house.

If your original post is worst thing that is said about me or to me, i think i will make it through the rest of my life just fine. I'm pretty tough, i don't offend easily. But i do find it amusing that you told the others "stick to the original post and get off my jock!" If you had done this, there probably wouldn't have been but three posts in this entire thread.

Destroy and rebuild.

There is no treadmill big enough to handle this government, not enough attorneys with the balls to do what is needed and reroot ourselves back into constitutional law. Doubtful any demowhos and republiwhats are going to fix our problem. The party lines are so blurred its absurd, the parties are polarized on issues that boarder line on being religiously based.

The population of America doesnt trust its government, and has been detached for a while it seems. During the time of The One, it was as if the American populous suddenly woke up from a political slumber of sorts. B.O has shown what kind of potential the population of America has to unite under the 'power of change'. Americas ready for a revolution, we are however, acephalous and seemingly unmotivated.

I still want to give B.O a chance. I just think the problem is rooted far to deep for any one man formed in an archaic political institution to deliver the kind of change this country truly needs.

Let me tell you a little story about CNN and Fox News.

I was talking with my grandmother a few weeks ago. She loves to watch the news and I found out that day how much she likes politics and what not. All she watched for the longest time was CNN, but she started to get depressed from all of the news. My dad told her prior to me talking with her to try watching Fox News. So she did. She was no longer depressed from the news, and this was probably right around election time when she made the switch. Now all she watches is Fox News. She knows they may be slightly biased and that she doesn't have to agree with everything that is said on the channel, but she also has a good mind and can tell BS from real stuff.

Just because Fox News has a right-wing bias doesn't mean that anytime it is used, it should automatically be discredited. There's a lot of good information on Fox News. Same can be said of CNN or any news source. Just because one person says something on a TV channel doesn't mean everyone who watched it believes it.

Yep..... And so much for them taking direction on sticking to the original post huh. These boys are easily distracted as you can see. It didn’t take long before they start talking about the dems, the left, Wal-Mart, Obama, name calling, Rasmussen hates Obama, NY times being lefties, CNN vs. Fox and not to mention the Fox News love/hate chatter that I misguidedly imitated The vide is the same in almost every thread. I think you got 1/2 a hit on that Chrysler business. Better luck next time.

A political discussion often times strays into other areas. Its all interconnected. Its how threads stay alive, you cant beat the same point up again and again unless you have two people debating it. In this case, most of us are in agreement that this was stupid on behalf of Chrysler and thats that.

Just because you cant keep up with the discussion and would rather troll this forum at the moment doesnt mean you should.

Y'nkow, as often as I disagree on the ISSUES with 480, he's as right as rain on this point.

That kinda tells you it's more about logical thought and full comprehension than ideologies or political motivations.

Fancy that.
