Here is the rest of the story, or should I say non-story:
| Quote: |
An earlier disruption came when a Senate committee found in 2014 that Renaissance Technologies’ use of complex financial structures known as “basket options” had allowed it to save billions by paying taxes at low rates. Then-Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), who helped lead the inquiry, called the approach “a pretty stunning bit of phony and abusive tax machinations.”
The Internal Revenue Service this summer issued a new requirement that anyone who uses the strategy declare it on tax returns.
Renaissance Technologies recently reiterated its past statement that the practice was “appropriate under current law.”

| The Fair Tax solves all 69,000 pages of that crap and much more, puts the IRS and hundreds of thousands of lawyers out of a job, and sends the ECONOMY (not just the artificially inflated stock market) to the moon. |

even to this day the right wing owned media is aiding the corruption to continue of the right wing. Here we have a real criminal but to the average american they have no idea how corrupt Nixon was. again the right wing hero Nixon is glorified. again more papers are being discovered. I wonder is this Nixon guy will be investigated by the benganzi group for taking top secret claisified documents.
Here is the right wing criminal president that really did his polling...
Just wondering how much of the media is going to cover these recently released documents.

| Quote: | | Woodward concludes that while Nixon knew the bombing was militarily futile, he believed it would reap political rewards at home. After Nixon resigned, papers found in his hideaway office in the White House included a GOP polling study, commissioned in 1969, that showed that the American people would favor bombing and blockading North Vietnam for six months. Woodward cites the work of Ken Hughes of the University of Virginia’s Miller Center to show that “the massive bombing did not do the job militarily but it was politically popular. Hughes argues with a great deal of evidence that the bombing was chiefly designed so Nixon would win re-election.” |

CNN won't pit Dems against each other in Tuesday's debate
10/12/15 2:26 PM
CNN's Anderson Cooper will moderate the first Democratic presidential debate this week, and unlike the previous Republican debate hosted by CNN, Cooper said he won't be encouraging confrontations between the candidates.
"I'm always uncomfortable with that notion of setting people up in order to kind of promote some sort of a face off," Cooper said Sunday on CNN's "Reliable Sources." "Look, these are all serious people. This is a serious debate. They want to talk about the issues and I want to give them an opportunity to do that."
Cooper's suggested style is a departure from the GOP debate hosted by CNN and moderated by Jake Tapper in September.
Before that debate, Tapper had said he was "trying to craft questions that, in most cases, pit candidates against the other."
For the rest~

Cooper: "Look, these are all serious people. This is a serious debate.
So I guess he figures that the GOP debates aren't. No bias there, none at all, fair and balanced. |

And while CNN did their best to exclude Fiorina from their GOP debate, they've already set a place at the DNC debate table IN CASE Biden decides to run.
HEY, CNN ... *I* might run. Where's my podium? |

| Quote: | | Butterfield did not know about the specifics of the Watergate break-in, but witnessed how Nixon’s obsessions led to it. At one point, Butterfield was given the assignment to plant a spy in the Secret Service detail of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.). Nixon later mused that the spy — a retired agent who was reactivated — might find information that would “ruin him for ’76,” when Kennedy might be considered a possible presidential candidate. Butterfield knew the plan was illegal, and told Woodward that he was surprised at himself for going along with it. |

| Our Liberal media was busy ripping on Blue Jays fans accidentally getting some beer spray on a baby. Meanwhile, in the sensible world, or the barber shop I was sitting in, voiced a resounding "What the hell! Who brings a baby to a baseball game?" Only that left wing media mind suck PC news reporting could be THAT stupid! What next, fans supposed to keep it down so widdle baby can get some nappy time? 😢 |

now that the washington post is owned by a partisan right winger... well look at this headline for top billing.
| Quote: | | In campaign money race, Democrats vastly outpacing Republicans |
this headline deserves a firing of the editor in my oppionion. This is a bold faced lie for right wing lie propaganda. Here from their own article.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-campaign-money-race-democrats-vastly-outpacing-republicans/2015/10/15/794a1ee4-7352-11e5-8d93-0af317ed58c9_story.html?wpmm=1&wpisrc=nl_headlines
| Quote: | | The totals raised on each side by the candidate-aligned super PACs are unclear, because they do not have to report their fundraising until Jan. 31. But by mid-year, GOP allied groups had raised $234 million and Democratic groups had pulled in $17 million. |
and
| Quote: | | In all, six Democratic candidates reported raising $123.2 million for their campaign committees so far this year, while 15 GOP candidates pulled in $143.5 million overall. |
again this is a right wing partisan owned media now....

left wing media in the USA would care less about sports...
that is right wing tabloid Fox type media. You know the three headed baby and such on the front page. Ultra partisan right winger the largest media owner in the world Murdoch fox owner was and is king of the enquirer media. that is how he made his money, he took his dads (yes a trust fund kid) and turned it into a trash empire. His first paper in the USA was the "STAR". Again his papers were convicted of hacking into dead peoples phones to make sensational news.
