Romney Fundraising Scandal Ignored By Liberal Media* - Clinton Gets Hammered Over Hsu

August was a disastrous month for Republicans and the Romney campaign took a huge hit when it’s national finance committee co-chairman, Alan B. Fabian was charged in a 23 count indictment, including charges of money laundering, mail fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice. It’s reported Fabian, a former Bush Pioneer, allegedly ran a scheme that netted him millions of dollars which were used to purchase beach front property and travel. The Romney campaign said they would return Fabian’s $2,300 campaign donation, but not funds donated by others through him. Fabian stepped down from Romney’s campaign shortly after his August 9th indictment — but you may not have heard much about this scandal.

Another thought to ponder ...

We suffer, yet again, another dose of the Republicans bringing more honesty and integrity to American government. I wish they'd stop. I don't know how much more honesty and integrity we can take.

* That would be the media with a Liberal bias. Of course, the idea of Liberal bias ignores the fact that on the order of 90% of all media (Newspapers, TV Networks, Radio stations and other news outlets) are owned by 6 major multinational corporations:

• Time Werner
• The Walt Disney Company
• Bertelsman
• Viacom
• News Corporation (Rupert Murdock's media conglomerate which includes FOXNoise)
• and a newcomer, Vivendi Universal

(Check out just what these five corporations control here.)

These five corporations control just about every opinion you have if you get your news and information from TV, Radio or the newspapers ... including your opinion that the news has a Liberal bias. If you buy into it, they've gotten away with telling you black is white ... and you believe it!

These corporations are major contributors to political campaigns (particularly Republican campaigns) and they employ some pretty heavy hitter lobbyists.

Since being deregulated, competition in the communications industry has all but vanished. If competition is a good thing then the deregulation that allowed these giants to absorb everything in their paths and eliminate virtually all competition is not. You can't have it both ways.
