here is another great example of the right wing media bias. I as a liberal would not have even featured the failing of this energy company more than a day or so at the most, just as I would not have featured Clintons stuff more than one story if I owned the media as a liberal.


But again here the right wing owned media featured this Solyndra as some sort of tea party issue of great american importance. When defense contractors are stealing/wasting hundreds of billions and do not make the headlines. Again Solyndra loans were in the works by the Bush administration in the first place.

but the media hate of the US being energy independent from Koch brothers is glaring.

SolarCity Leasing 200,000-Sq-Ft Former Solyndra Manufacturing Facility In Fremont


February 18th, 2015 by James Ayre

Quote:
SolarCity is now leasing a 200,000-square-foot facility in Fremont, California, formerly used by the doomed and media-loved solar energy company Solyndra.

why-solarcity-sideimageWhile the news of the leasing appears to have mostly slipped under the radar, it is quite noteworthy — and certainly seems to say something about the growing strength of the cleantech industry in the region, as well as SolarCity itself. With this new lease, there now remains only one of Solyndra’s major facilities yet to be taken over by another company.

The leasing of the two buildings in question — located at 47700 Kato Road — certainly does seem to suggest that the industry has now completely moved past the issues given light by the Solyndra debacle. Not that we didn’t know that already, but this seem to serve as a good landmark in that regard.

As many have probably guessed by now, the new facilities will be used primarily by SolarCity’s recent manufacturing acquisition, Silevo — very probably as a new research and development center and/or headquarters.

As reporter Nathan Donato-Weinstein of the Silicon Valley Business Journal (who broke the story) noted:

SolarCity is spending big bucks on Silevo’s manufacturing capability. That includes a massive plant under construction in Buffalo, New York, a potentially risky and capital-intense strategy to drive down the cost of panels and boost their efficiency. A large new R&D center in Fremont shows SolarCity is scaling up all aspects of the division.

At the same time, the expansion is a milestone for Fremont, which never gave up on the clean-tech sector despite the negative and highly politicized press over the Solyndra debacle.

In regards to Brian Williams...I understand why Bill O'Reilly has empathy for him...Faux Noise lies daily!!!


have you seen the information now about O'Liely... Turns out O'Liely has a bit of explaining to do about his reports about all the combat areas he claimed he was in... Now why hasn't Fox put him on a leave of absence till a full investigation is done. where is the right wing rage that he was claiming to be in all these wars yet it appears they were fabrications...

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/02/20/1365764/-So-about-all-that-war-zone-reporting-Mr-O-Reilly?detail=email

Quote:
Here's a synopsis of the questions O'Reilly is refusing to answer:
How does O'Reilly explain his claim that he was in a war zone in the Falklands war between the United Kingdom and Argentina in 1982 when it appears that no American reporters were allowed in the war zone?
What specifically was the "combat situation in Argentina during the Falklands War" that he "survived" to write about in a 2004 column?
Can O'Reilly elaborate on the claim he made to Tucker Carlson in 2003 that "I've covered wars, okay? I've been there. The Falklands, Northern Ireland, the Middle East. I've almost been killed three times, okay.'" Like the circumstances in which he almost died?
About that "war zone" in Argentina, where his photographer "got run down and then hit his head and was bleeding from the ear on the concrete" and O'Reilly heroically saved him: "When and where did this happen?"
Please head below the fold for more of these unanswered questions.

Will O'Reilly comment on why he is the only reporter who was present during a protest in Buenos Aires when the Falklands surrendered to say that a "major riot ensued and many were killed," as reported in his book, The No Spin Zone? No other journalists reported deaths.
When and where were the "firefights in South and Central America" O'Reilly said he had been caught in on his radio show on January 13, 2005?
How does he explain the discrepancy from his No Spin Zone account about reporting from Meanguera, El Salvador, in 1982 with what was actually recorded on film and broadcast on CBS News at the time? In the book, he said the village was "leveled to the ground and fires were still smoldering. But even though the carnage was obviously recent, we saw no one live or dead." On the news footage, there are people walking around and only a couple of burned structures.
Did he ever do any other reporting trips to El Salvador or Argentina or elsewhere in Central and South America than the two he included in No Spin Zone?
When he said on his television show in 2008 that he had been "in the war zones of [the] Falkland conflict in Argentina, the Middle East, and Northern Ireland," where specifically was he talking about, particularly with the Middle East and Northern Ireland? What wars, where, and when?
In another book, Keep It Pithy, he wrote "I've seen soldiers gun down unarmed civilians in Latin America." Corn asks, "Where did this occur?"

more on O'liely, seems he has no problem trying to get a cameraman killed and in-sighting a riot.

gee before coming to fox he was with CBS that so called liberal media...

CBS Ordered O'Reilly to Leave Argentina for Risking Life of Cameraman

From Eric John Engberg, a fellow CBS correspondent stationed in Argentina at the same time Billo was there:

Quote:
The CBS bureau chief in Buenos Aires, Larry Doyle, an ex-Marine LRRP, was something of a legend among CBSers because of his personal courage and his knowledge about how to do your job without exposing yourself to undue danger. Early that night in Buenos Aires he assembled the camera crews in our hotel newsroom and instructed them to refrain from using the lights on their cameras while around crowds. Television lights attracted potentially violent people and also made the camera-person an easier target for demonstrators throwing rocks. We all knew that the Argentine public was angry at the U.S. for supporting Britain in the war, so American journalists might become a target for mob violence. So, O'Reilly has been correct in describing the situation in Buenos Aires as somewhat dicey for reporters. If he was nervous, I can see why.

The riot around the presidential palace was actually short-lived. It consisted mostly of chanting, fist-shaking and throwing coins at the uniformed soldiers who were assembled outside the palace. I did not see any police attacks against demonstrators. According to Doyle, O'Reilly returned to the hotel in a rage over the fact that his cameraman wouldn't turn on the lights to photograph angry crowds. Doyle defended the cameraman and chewed out O'Reilly for violating his instructions on lights. When Doyle looked at the tape shot by O'Reilly's cameraman he saw that the video included stand-ups -- on camera description by the reporter -- which O'Reilly had ordered the cameraman to shoot -- with his light on. Doyle was further upset by this tape, which clearly showed that his orders on lights had been unilaterally violated by O'Reilly. The issue here was safety.

CBS was doing a late night re-cap of the Falkland's story. As always the Buenos Aires bureau had no combat video footage to offer, so our part of the special would be the demonstrations, which had been well covered by three or four camera crews, including the one working with O'Reilly. All that footage was blended into the main story, narrated by Schieffer, who had been in Buenos Aires for weeks as the anchor on the scene. When Doyle informed O'Reilly that Schieffer would be doing the report, which would not include any segment from O'Reilly, the reporter exploded. "I didn't come down here to have my footage used by that old man," he shouted. Doyle was stunned. First O'Reilly had defiantly ordered a cameraman to disregard his orders on using lights, and now he was claiming the right to do a story the producers had decided should be done by the senior correspondent on the scene, Schieffer. This confrontation led the next day to O'Reilly being ordered out of Argentina by the CBS bosses. Doyle had told them O'Reilly was a "disruptive force" who threatened his bureau's morale and cohesion.

wow this stuff would be front page if I a liberal owned the media... Note Rudy had several deferments I read from Vietnam... and Rudy does act like a right wing enforcer...

No, not like Obama. Rudy Giuliani got his family values from his ex-con mob enforcer draft-dodger dad.

Quote:
The original basis for Giuliani’s comments was Obama’s allegedly unusual upbringing. “He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up, through love of this country,” alleged the former mayor. As Wayne Barrett points out, Giuliani’s father was a mob enforcer, and he and his five brothers all avoided military service during World War II. What about this upbringing in any way suggests it conveyed some deeper patriotism than Obama’s?

Obama was not brought up the way ... I was (son of convicted felon / mafia enforcer Harold Giuliani)

ok the washingtom Post was bought by a ultra partisan right winger not long ago. And the other major so called liberal media paper was the NYT. I have never trusted either of these as they were on the payroll of the CIA way back with the original founders.

But now as some real liberals point out in the KOS here are some hack jobs by the NYT, pathetic journalism with the very obvious questions the KOS asks. Again no real liberal owner of the media would allow such trash to be ut out there. also remeber the NYT had a reporter who was backing the bush chenney rummy pre war attack idea of Iraq. Judith Miller what a piece of trash that was too. again haing this trash journalist support the war concept without real facts... hmmm maybe she was one of those reporters on the CIA payroll? Remeber the CIA got caught with over 400 reporters on their payroll and never disclosed who they were and what media they were working for.

But here is a good point or two by the KOS that you do not see in any other media being asked. Again a real liberal would equation and ask these questions....

again a major hit piece on Hillary... and the law was not even there to recently after she left the position. again that writer editor and so on should be fired if these issues the KOS brings up are true.

ok the washington post was bought by a ultra partisan right winger last year. and this year the richest person in the world became the largest stock holder in the NYTs. No wonder they have a hit piece as noted above on Hillary. Interesting the top editor at NYT noted on that hit piece is in essence saying well it may not be the best one we ever printed and we will look to see that future hit pieces do have journalistic merit in the future. I bet they do not even care that many people cancelled their subscriptions over it with Slim backing them now. Seems that piece of crap journalism is exactly what Slim bought them to do. Lets see if there are any firings or more trash from the NYT now.

Carlos Slim becomes top New York Times shareholder

Quote:
(Reuters) - Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has become the largest shareholder of New York Times Co (NYT.N) after exercising warrants to double his stake in the publisher to 16.8 percent.

Entities affiliated with Slim exercised the warrants he bought in 2009 when he loaned the company $250 million during the height of the financial crisis.


Now the corporate setup of this is a bit diffeent than for instance the WP. There are two series of stocks with the NYT. Generally there would control but his is for making money. But I contend you do listen to the the person putting in hundreds of millions or he does not put his money in.

so Carlos slim is largest shareholder in the NYT, and amazon owner ultra partisan right winger owns the WP. Here is an example of the trash right wingers do with ownership of the right wing media.

Only a partisan moron would include Brazil, Russia, and Mexico crime rates as what the president was talking about.... The washington post is so right wing partisan already by the ultra right wing partisan owner.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2015/03/12/obamas-odd-series-of-exaggerated-gun-claims/?wpisrc=nl_politics&wpmm=1

Fact Checker
Obama’s odd series of exaggerated gun claims

The Facts

Quote:
‘Our homicide rates are so much higher…by like a mile’

When we first saw this quote, we thought the president said the United States had the highest homicide rate among industrialized nations. So did our reader. After all, the president even used the phrase “by like a mile.”

We got some push-back from the administration on this interpretation so just to be sure, we surveyed six colleagues and asked them what they thought the quote meant. The result was unanimous: the president was telling students the United States had the highest homicide rate among the industrialized world.

That is factually incorrect.

The best proxy for “industrialized countries” is the membership of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. There are currently 34 countries in the OECD, but the agency also includes Brazil and Russia in its statistical data. (The two countries have been negotiating for membership but talks have been suspended with Russia because of the Crimea crisis.)

if i was a partisan liberal owner of the media I would try to educate right wingers with how miserable they are and put this research front page and fund a heck of a lot more of it...

again would put this front page of all media...


http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/03/12/liberals-might-be-happier-than-conservatives-even-if-conservatives-say-otherwise/?wpisrc=nl_evening&wpmm=1

Liberals might be happier than conservatives, even if conservatives say otherwise


Quote:
When asked if they're happy, political conservatives are more likely to say yes than liberals. But a new study suggests that liberals might be the happier bunch -- and conservatives might just want to look good.

Researchers believe that conservatives may have a reputation for being happy because it's in their nature to talk themselves up.

Previous work on the "happiness gap" between liberals and conservatives took a relatively simple route: Just asking. Study subjects were asked to self-report their own happiness levels. In several academic studies (and one by Pew) conservatives repeatedly came out as generally cheerier than their left-wing countrymen.

[Your brain's response to a gross photo can reveal your political leanings]

The new results, published Thursday in the journal Science, took a different approach. Led by Sean Wojcik, a doctoral student in psychology and social behavior at the University of California at Irvine, the experiment analyzed photos and language analysis from the LinkedIn and Twitter profiles of those identified as either liberal or conservative.

"Common sense would dictate that if you want to know how happy someone is, you can ask them," said Peter Ditto, UCI professor of psychology & social behavior and co-author of the paper. "But what do you do if someone says they're happy, but doesn't act that way?"

Indeed, Ditto and Wojcik found more genuine smiles (as measured by standard facial analysis) and more positive language in the Web trail of liberals, even though other members of that group self-reported as less happy in the very same study.

The reason, they say, is that political conservatives have a tendency to self-aggrandize. When they compared happiness self-reports with tests that measured a tendency to enhance one's better qualities, they found that the happiness gap could be explained by a self-enhancement gap. In other words, liberals were being more honest about their personal pitfalls.

"There are two interpretations of this you could make: Either people are happier because this self-enhancement has a positive effect on their lives, or they're just appearing to be happier because of that tendency to self-enhance," Wojcik explained. He believes that a search for positive language and genuine smiles helps suggest that conservatives are in the latter camp.

if there was a liberal media here we have a clear case of a top contender of the right wing. and he is caught in an absolute delusion when the right wing owned media have been slamming Hilary for hers and Obama for his so called gun issues.

Remember the right wing owned media went after Gary Hart by placing reporters snooping into his windows so to speak as freaks. To take down a dem contender. And they played the Howard Dean cheer removing the background cheering of the people to take him down.

Did Walker's Nancy Reagan Anointment Story Really Happen? - See more at: http://www.progressive.org/news/2015/03/188044/did-walkers-nancy-reagan-anointment-story-really-happen-nope#sthash.NuarDQeX.dpuf

Quote:
At the 2013 Milwaukee County Republican Party's annual Reagan Day dinner Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker told a story that he said,"gives me a shiver just talking about it."

That would be the story about how Nancy Reagan was so amazed by Scott Walker's recall victory that she invited him to come speak at the Reagan Library. (Walker failed to mention that ninety-one-year old Nancy Reagan is more of a figurehead of the Reagan Foundations that signs dozens of invites to people every year to speak at Reagan Library as part of the Reagan Forum series. You know who else has scored these special invites? Dennis Miller, Mark Levin, and Dennis Prager. In fact, the person that spoke after Walker was—drum roll please—Greg Gutfeldt!)

OK, sorry—back to Walker's story.

Before Walker gave his speech, he scored a special meeting with Nancy Reagan. (Reality check: It wasn't that special; it happens to many Reagan Forum participants.) So, they get to talking, and Walker tells her that his recall election happened on the anniversary of her husband's death: June 5.

After Walker makes this point, Mrs. Reagan doesn't push her panic button. And she doesn't dismiss what he is saying as the ramblings of a pathological narcissist with delusions of grandeur. Instead she is apparently awestruck. (You'll find out why we can assume that in a second.)

Then Walker leaves her home in Bel Air and goes to the Reagan Library to give his speech. As he is walking by some of the exhibits on display and, well, let's let Walker tell the rest:

"One of the other great privileges I had, that was unbeknownst to me, that they had set up, was, we came around the corner on the tour, before I gave a speech to about a thousand people at the library, and the curator there, had, I see him and he's got white gloves and he's got something in his hand.

"And they brought over a pair of white gloves for me and he said, 'No one has touched this since President Reagan. It is his mother's Bible that he took the oath of office on. Mrs. Reagan would like you to hold and take a picture with it."



At this point the crowd makes a collective gasp. Several "awwwwhhh"s break out and then the they break into an applause as Walker slowly nods.

In other words, Nancy Reagan was so impressed with Walker that she arranged this quasi-anointment ceremony of letting Walker be the first to touch the Reagan Bible since Reagan. This is huge! In Republican politics, this is like the Pope arranging a swig from the Holy Grail!

In other news—wait, there's more to this story? Shut the front door!—I got in touch with Jennifer Torres, who is the artifacts curator at the Reagan Library. Torres said Walker did in fact, get his picture taken with the Reagan inauguration Bible, but that is the only part of the story that is true.

When asked specifically if Nancy Reagan had arranged for Walker to hold the Reagan Bible, Torres said in a email that it was Walker, not Nancy Reagan, that made the request to have his picture taken with the Bible—and that Walker made the request before he visited with Nancy Reagan or even flew out to California:

Gov. Walker requested to view the Bible while he was at the Library for a speaking engagement. The Bible is periodically removed from exhibit in order to rotate the pages on display. We decided to remove the Bible the day Gov. Walker was in town to comply with his request, took the Bible back to collections after the photo, and re-installed it on exhibit a few days later.

What about the stuff about Reagan being the last person to touch it? Eh, not so much:

OK, BD ... explain away the bias of the four CNN anchors/hosts showing "Hands up". No matter what you or they SAY they meant, the idiots in the street (and maybe here?) think it means they believe Michael Brown was shot in the back by a racist cop while surrendering.
