Thanks to rdbrewer.
Related: Confidence in MFM remains near record lows.
mericans continue to express near-record-low confidence in newspapers and television news -- with no more than 25% of Americans saying they have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in either. These views have hardly budged since falling more than 10 percentage points from 2003-2007....
Americans' confidence in newspapers and television news is on par with Americans' lackluster confidence in banks and slightly better than their dismal rating of Health Management Organizations and big business.
Well, that's certainly good company to be in.
For purposes of comparison, the media finished just slightly ahead of gout.

the news blurbs on the radio are just White House press releases. Por emplejo: "Today Obama signed landmark legislation that reforms how Wall Street does business. The measure will protect investors and hold financial firms accountable."
It's nothing more than propaganda for Dear Leader.

O/T
Media reporting that Hussein Obama is walking back his laudatory comments about construction of the mosque in Manhattan. The White House phones must be burning up, and Gibbs will voluntarily take it up the squeakhole for O'Hope & Change on Monday.
This flip-flop exercise is a valiant attempt by O'Stumble to appease you little people who receive all your slanted news from Fox, and especially Megyn Kelly, or the big tit one, Julie Banderas.

And we require all news anchors to sign off with either "no actual chickens were fucked in the production of this broadcast" or "many chickens' asses were totally wrecked in the production of this broadcast", depending on the levels of bullshit contained in said broadcast.

From Politco:
Speaking to reporters today, President Obama drew a sharp line under his comments last night, insisting that his defense of the right to build a mosque does not mean he supports the project.
"I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there. I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding," he said.
Obama's new stance is logically consistent with his words last night, if a bit less "clarion," as Mike Bloomberg called the first remarks. And there are certainly two possible stances here: Bloomberg's, that the Cordoba project itself represents the best of America; and Obama's, that the freedom of religion is an important American value.
Obama's new remarks, literally speaking, re-open the question of which side he's on. Most of the mosque's foes recognize the legal right to build, and have asked the builders to reconsider.Posted by: Tami at August 14, 2010 11:28 AM (VuLos)

Good advise Tamela. The grocery store stuff with sugar and additives doesn't work for me, but the princely priced cherry juice at $8/quart works wonders, but with a painful bout of gout, who's counting money?

"Now I am going to read you a list of institutions in American society. Please tell me how much confidence you, yourself, have in each one -- a great deal, quite a lot, some, or
very little? First, ... Next, [RANDOM ORDER]"
Don't they know that confidence doesn't just exist as some singular island? Confidence doesn't exist without some direction, some prediction, as Gallup should know. Maybe someone is confident that the MFM will screw America over? Maybe another lacks confidence that the MFM is skilled enough to screw America over?
They go to the lengths of including a redundant, "yourself", and randomly ordering the list, but they can't properly phrase the core of the question.

Warning: The only vaguely newsworthy information in this article has been hidden in a throwaway sentence in the 16th paragraph, after the second jump, by the ad for bras for women suffering from macromastia.
Hah! Just below the ad that says "Learn how to drive the big rigs."

Tami, oh Tami,
That's Obama go-to double-speak excuse of an answer. Very poli-ticky. In other words, it's a variation of, "It's above my paygrade...wink wink."
"I don't support the mosque at Ground Zero...but...wink wink. And that's a decision that's best left up to the locals."

Of course it does. I was just disappointed that The Precedent didn't give us a little arabic, or Bahasa, in his lunatic rantings. That would have been cool.
And I am extremely saddened that he didn't explain how the muslim call to prayer is one of the prettiest sounds on Earth and that all of New York should thank him for making sure that that call to muslim prayer is heard 5 times a day, every single day, at Ground Zero. It's a question of ambiance, you see ...

I obviously can't speak for others that might visit ground zero, but the last thing I want to hear if I visit there is that fucking muslim call to prayer being blasted from high on top of that fucking mosque.

Gotta love how POLITICO has to frame it in the one precise context in which Obama is being logical. Can't have people thinking that Obama has yet again fucked up on something so fundamental. I'm dying for the polls to come out, I really hope that the news of his recanting his pro-mosque position stays obscured long enough that the Dems have to squirm for a few days.

But instead Ed wants to scold conservatives for suggesting ways to stop it.
But instead Ed wants to scold conservatives for suggesting ways to stop it.
Ed Morrissey need not waste time scolding conservatives for their timely suggestions. He should be more concerned with the mounting anger and drive to stop the build by the New York hard hat community.
They are a force to be reckoned with, and if the trades decide not to work the project, the interlopers who attempt to enter the site may find themselves visiting with Luigi, Tony, and a few other special friends.

Everyone of those 19 evil bastards on board the planes that day were muslims. Everyone that helped them plan it and finance it were muslims. Everyone that knew about the plan, could have exposed it and chose not to, were muslims.
And yet some people think that building a fucking mosque next to ground zero isn't a big deal?

Look, you wingnuts can't expect the President to make himself aware of the issues on both sides of every little news item as obscure as this. With a small staff of only a few hundred, the best he can do is pick the side opposite to that most Americans pick first, because his audience usually wants to hear that, and then gradually refine his position over the next days and weeks into something that can be made to appear to be supporting either side you want. That's how he shows he's the leader of all of us.
