TVNL Editor's Comments: A Word About the News “Business!”

Let’s get one thing clear when we discuss the news media: journalism is not a business; it is a requirement of democracy! The press is the only “business” that is protected by the U.S. Constitution because the framers knew that a free and legitimate press needs to be in place in order to protect our democracy. When we speak about the media, bias, ratings etc. keep in mind that news is not a business; it is a staple of democracy. Without it we do not have a democracy. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

· White House Upbeat About GOP Prospects - Amid widespread panic in the Republican establishment about the coming midterm elections, there are two people whose confidence about GOP prospects strikes even their closest allies as almost inexplicably upbeat: President Bush and his top political adviser, Karl Rove.
TVNL Comment: This is probably because the elections get fixed in the White House, not at the local level.

· Displease a Lobbyist, Get Fired - E-mails show Jack Abramoff's ability to influence White House staffing decisions through his highly placed friends.

· Ripping the mask off of Bush's 'faith-based' initiative - Perhaps the biggest scandal was the way in which the Faith-Based Office was used in the 2002 campaigns.

· Americans Question Bush on 9/11 Intelligence - Only 16 per cent of respondents say the government headed by U.S. president George W. Bush is telling the truth on what it knew prior to the terrorist attacks, down five points since May 2002.
TVNL Comment: That's putting it mildly!

· Lost in the Dust of 9/11 - From society's margins, janitors were drafted for an epic cleanup around ground zero. Then 'the cough' racked their lives.

CONGRESS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#congress

· Our monopoly government - If the Sherman Antitrust Act applied to government, almost every member of the U.S. Congress would face millions in fines and possibly jail time. That’s because the U.S. Congress is a monopolist par excellence.

The report, compiled by the Police Executive Research Forum, says violent crime across America is "accelerating at an alarming pace."

· Govt. reports 788 cases of lost data - Federal workers at 19 agencies have lost personal information affecting thousands of employees and the public, raising fresh concerns about the government's ability to protect sensitive information.

ENVIRONMENT : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#environment

· Democrats challenge EPA pesticide rule - The group is suing EPA to end pesticide testing on pregnant women and infants. The lawmakers say a new rule from EPA fails to implement the ban required by Congress last year to protect vulnerable people from harmful pesticide testing.

INTERNATIONAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#international

· Israeli President Skips Parliament Open - Israel's president canceled his appearance at the opening session of parliament Monday, succumbing to intense pressure after police recommended indicting him on rape charges.

And I would say this is the victor's complex," Gorbachev was quoted as saying in an interview with the Netzzeitung.

MILITARY & VETERANS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#military

· U.S. Firing Plans for Great Lakes Raise Concerns - And, for the first time in memory, Coast Guard members plan to use a stretch of water at least five miles off this Michigan shore — and 33 other offshore spots near cities like Cleveland; Rochester; Milwaukee; Duluth, Minn.; and Gary, Ind. — as permanent, live fire shooting zones for training on their new 7.62 mm weapons, which can blast as many as 650 rounds a minute and send fire more than 4,000 yards.

· 2 ordered not to discuss Gitmo claims - A paralegal and a military lawyer who brought forward allegations about prisoner abuse at the Guantanamo Bay detention center have been ordered not to speak with the press, lawyers and a military spokeswoman said Saturday.

EDITORIAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#editorial

· TVNL REPLAY: You Approve of Domestic Spying? Then Start With Skull & Bones! - Heck, if you’re going to spy, why not go after the bad guys.

· The real menace to American kids - We demonize Mark Foley but ignore the industries medicating children and making them fat, and even open our schools to people trying to kill them -- military recruiters.

· Guilty Until Confirmed Guilty - The new law leaves this mockery of justice stronger. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 makes it virtually impossible to contest a status tribunal’s decision. It prohibits claims of habeas corpus — the ancient right of prisoners in just societies to have their detentions reviewed — or any case based directly or indirectly on the Geneva Conventions. Even if an appeal got to the single appeals court now authorized to hear it, the administration would very likely argue that it cannot be heard without jeopardizing secrets, as it has done repeatedly.

· If Only George Bush Had Been Amish - The Amish response to the brutal slaying of five of their own offspring in an old fashioned, one-roomed school house was a blueprint for how President George Walker Bush should have responded to the slaughter of nearly 3,000 of our own citizens in the tragedy of September 11, 2001.
TVNL Comment: The only problem with this notion is that it was Bush & his people who did the slaughtering; but the editorial makes a good point if you ignore the reality of the situation.

Now, he is reinventing it yet again, by breaking away from the briefing room to raise money for Republicans.

· Reporter abducted in Afghanistan - An Italian photojournalist has been abducted in south Afghanistan while travelling on a bus between the restive provinces of Helmand and Kandahar.

· FoxNews Does It Again - Corker (D-TN)!! Screenshot
TVNL Comment: This is the third time in one week that FOX News labled a Republican as a Democrat. Are we to believe that this is not calculated?

· They Control the Media. How Do We Fight Back? - Let Mark C. Miller, Bev Harris & Bob Fitrakis Explain How.

· NPR’s News Chief Resigns After 9 Months - He becomes the first major casualty of the two-week-old tenure of Ken Stern, NPR’s new chief executive, who replaced Kevin Klose, the chief executive who had hired Mr. Marimow from the Baltimore Sun.

In promoting Mr. Marimow to vice president of news in February, Mr. Klose had overruled an internal search committee that included Mr. Stern and Mr. Kernis and had not recommended Mr. Marimow.

· Reuters Israel war crime charge roils Canada politics - The leading candidate to head the Liberal Party was defiant on Friday after opening a political can of worms with the charge that Israel committed war crimes during its Lebanon campaign this summer.

But when some truly independent science comes along to threaten that agenda, the administration often ignores or minimizes it.

HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#rights

· Universities urged to spy on Muslims - Lecturers and university staff across Britain are to be asked to spy on "Asian-looking" and Muslim students they suspect of involvement in Islamic extremism and supporting terrorist violence, the Guardian has learned.

· More are hungry despite world leaders' pledge - More than 850 million are still hungry - some 18 million more than in 1996. And while issues such as debt forgiveness, a better trade deal for Africa and climate change have grabbed the headlines, food has been left off the menu.

· Muslims are the new Jews - Especially since July 7, it has become acceptable to say the most ignorant, degrading things about Islam. And then we all sit around wondering why young Muslim men appear to be getting angrier and more politicised, or why “westernised” young Muslim women whose mothers go bare-headed are suddenly, defiantly, opting for the full-on niqab-style veil that leaves only a slit for the eyes.

· Fashion’s dirty secret: 3p-an-hour child labour - THE fashion world called it “boho chic”. Sienna Miller, the model and actress, was credited with creating the retro hippie look that swept Britain’s high streets last spring, but according to human rights campaigners many of the clothes were made in India by children as young as seven.

· Human rights concerns fail to staunch flow of UK arms - China tops list with £70m of exports in one year as military sales soar to blacklisted regimes

· Bush Buys Land in Northern Paraguay - He said that "it is a bad signal that the Bush family is doing business with natural resources linked to the future of MERCOSUR."
