Bush vs. Daily Show and The Onion: the competition for the best fake news
Bush has been giving us more fake news than the Daily Show. (Fake News Timeline)
Yesterday the Commerce Committee, was supposed to vote on the "Truth in Broadcasting Act of 2005." As of this morning I still haven't been able to find out how that vote went.
The bill would crack down on the creation of "video news releases" that have been distributed by the Bush Administration to local news stations and then presented to the public as unbiased journalism.
Many senators are still undecided, and a strong vote from the Commerce Committee could convince the Senate to pass this bill quickly.
Let's hope.
Keep on this one, and contact Congress on your own to urge support for this bill. It is the truth we're after, and who is afraid of the truth but a liar?
Anyone who doesn't support this bill is only trying to protect their ability to lie.
Why the heck would you want to do that? And why would the Bush Administration, who pledged to bring honor and dignity back to the White House, give this bill anything but its full support?

I'm glad to have both of you.

PS-Rhonda. Yes I am supporting him no matter what just like you want to bring him down no matter what.
We all don't have to agree with you,do we? By the way you'd better up that dosage of Xanax.
Oh and yeah,Dan Rather should have lost his job and there are a few others that should have and didn't so what's the beef?

Archie-Thank you for welcoming me back even if we disagree.
