Obama Advisor Tells CNN Fox Is Biased, Won't Comment On MSNBC
A senior White House advisor on Tuesday told Campbell Brown that Fox News is biased, but refused to comment when the CNN host asked her, "Well, then do you also think that MSNBC is biased?"
During a taped interview at the Woman's Conference in California later broadcast on CNN's "Campbell Brown," Valerie Jarrett sidestepped this marvelous question and instead haplessly said, "I don't want to just generalize all Fox is biased or that another station is biased."
Bonus vid (H/T HotAir): Krauthammer "speaks truth to power". Of course, it's on FOX News, so take it with a grain of salt. /

Attorney General Eric Holder tries to kill a TV ad supporting D.C. school vouchers.
President Obama isn't taking kindly to a television ad that criticizes his opposition to a popular scholarship program for poor children, and his administration wants the ad pulled.
Former D.C. Councilmember Kevin Chavous of D.C. Children First said October 16 that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder had recently approached him and told him to kill the ad.
The 30-second ad, which has been airing on FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, and News Channel 8 to viewers in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, urges the president to reauthorize the federally-funded D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program that provides vouchers of up to $7,500 for D.C. students to attend private schools.
The most powerful writer since Julius Ceasar was Ulysses S. Grant.

Have you guys been hearing about the Wellpoint Study? I've included the article in the WSJ about it in the next thread - a snip:
ReplyDeleteIn fact, what distinguishes the Wellpoint study is its detailed rigor. Take Ohio, where a young, healthy 25-year-old living in Columbus can purchase insurance from WellPoint today for about $52 per month in the individual market. WellPoint's actuaries calculate the bill will rise to $79 because Democrats are going to require it to issue policies to anyone who applies, even if they've waited until they're sick to buy insurance. Then they'll also require the company to charge everyone nearly the same rate, bringing the premium to $134. Add in an extra $17, since Democrats will require higher benefit levels, and a share of the new health industry taxes ($6), and monthly premiums have risen to $157, a 199% boost.
I wish I could get audio at work so I could hear these two vids.

ReplyDeleteI wish I could get audio at work so I could hear these two vids.
ReplyDeleteJarrett basically accuses FOX News of bias, then when Campbell Brown asks her directly if MSNBC is biased also, she says she doesn't want to accuse networks of bias. It's a little more nuanced than that, but not much.
HotAir has a transcript of part of what Krauthammer said:
I want to point out one thing about what Obama had said when he talked about “the long years of drift.” There is something truly disgusting about the way he cannot refrain from attacking Bush when he’s being defensive about himself. I mean, it’s beyond disgraceful here. He won election a year ago. He became the Commander [in] Chief two months later. He announced his own strategy — not the Bush strategy, his strategy — six months ago, and it wasn’t off-handed, it was in a major address, with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense standing with him. And now he’s still talking about “the drift” in the Bush years. What’s happening today is not a result of the drift, so-called, of the Bush years, it’s because of the drift in his years. It’s because of the flaws in his own strategy, which is what he’s actively examining.
He just NAILS him. It's worth watching when you get home.

ReplyDeleteMore from the Wellpoint findings:
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, a 40-year-old husband and wife with two kids would see their premiums jump by 122%—to $737 from $332—while a small business with eight employees in Franklin County would see premiums climb by 86%. It's true that the family or the individual might qualify for subsidies if their incomes are low enough, but the business wouldn't qualify under the Senate Finance bill WellPoint examined. And even if there are subsidies, the new costs the bill creates don't vaporize. They're merely transferred to taxpayers nationwide—or financed with deficits, which will be financed eventually with higher taxes.
This is better than what we have now. Trust them. /

Speaking of (gag) justice. Here's my response to the pali-lovin' idiot on my denomination's "social justice" blog-
ReplyDeleteAgain, you save your anger for the wrong enemy. Israel took in every immigrant jew that needed safe haven after they were kicked out of their homes in the countries of the middle east and europe. On the other hand, the countries that declared war on them would not take the arab immigrants into their countries and in fact, ignore or use them. Jordan itself massacred them and kicked them out (Black September) and Egypt has strict border crossings to keep them out also. Why don't you post day after day about their "brothers and sisters" who live in luxury in the area, awash in wealth from oil? For the cost of one more palace, these countries could build a water system for the palestinians. I know you know this, but you mention them as an aside, when they have far more wealth than Israel and they share a culture and religion with those we are speaking of who are suffering daily.

Just saw this on msn.com - they're trying to argue that the current system is unfair to women, because companies dominated by female employees pay more. They admit that females use their insurance more for a variety of reasons, but it is not "fair" to charge them more because it is "discriminatory". The "industry" says that if nearly everyone is forced to buy insurance, they'll end the practice of taking gender into consideration:
ReplyDeleteGender rating is the norm today, part of a complex formula of risk factors — including health history and age — insurers say has been necessary to fairly price policies. But advocacy groups for women argue that charging more for women than men is discriminatory and should be illegal.
The battle is playing out on Capitol Hill through the debate on health overhaul legislation. If a new law results in nearly all Americans having to carry insurance, the industry has said it would agree to end rating based on gender and health status in sales of policies to individuals and small groups.
Link.

There seems to me to be a disconnect there. How does the issue of gender cease to exist if everyone is forced to buy insurance?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sound like every person will be paying exactly the same rate - the rates will still be risk factor based - so how does the gender issue just go away? Are they just planning to stick men with more of the costs?

This issue was addressed years ago by the life insurance/annuity industry. People thought they were getting screwed because annuities cost women more and life insurance cost men more than the opposite gender.
This was handled with 'unisex' rates which, in essence, charged men more to subsidize women for annuities and charged women more to subsidize men for life insurance.

ReplyDeletePresident Obama delivers remarks at signing of National Defense Authorization Act
ReplyDeleteBut I have always rejected the notion that we have to waste billions of dollars of taxpayer money to keep this nation secure. In fact, I think that wasting these dollars makes us less secure. And that's why we have passed a defense bill that eliminates some of the waste and inefficiency in our defense process, reforms that will better protect our nation, better protect our troops, and save taxpayers tens of billions of dollars.
I agree waste and inefficency is a problem.
But what does Obama included in "waste and inefficency."
This bill also terminates troubled and massively over-budget programs such as the Future Combat Systems, the airborne lasers, the combat search and rescue helicopter, and a new presidential helicopter that costs nearly as much as Air Force One.

ReplyDeleteWe can't repatriate Quebec woman from Saudi Arabia: Ottawa
The Canadian government says it cannot bring home a Quebec woman who claims her husband is refusing to allow her and her three children to leave Saudi Arabia.
Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon discussed the case of Nathalie Morin with his Saudi counterpart during a visit to Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
After his return from Riyadh, Cannon said he considered the case to be a private matter that must be resolved by Saudi officials.
Saudi law allows a husband to prevent his spouse and children from leaving the country without his permission, Cannon said.
"It is important to remember that when Canadians leave Canadian territory, they are subject to the laws and conventions governing the country where they are," Cannon's press secretary Natalie Sarafian said in an email.
In an interview with the French-language arm of the CBC, Morin said she has been trying to return home for 2½ years.
"He doesn’t keep me in Saudi Arabia because he loves me and wants to keep me — it is just that he wants to get money, or one day have a chance to travel," Morin told Radio-Canada.
Morin alleges she is regularly abused by her husband.
"I cry, he hits me. I laugh, he hits me. I talk, he hits me. I get angry and he beats me," she said.
In other words, since forcible confinement and wife beating are legal in Saudi Arabia, there is nothing the Canadian gov't will do for her.
