Politics - big business for "news" organizations.
Posted: Oct 22, 2016
I notice that the major news channels (Fox, CNN, etc.) have already begun to extensively advertise their "special" or "unique" or "insightful" coverage of the election results.
The "news media" are not - and for a long time have not been - about providing consumers with INFORMATION.
It's about ratings. Eyeballs. In short, MONEY.
We have reached the point in this nation that money has corrupted just about everything in society, but what's most insidious is that it has corrupted elements of society that people have been taught to believe are objective...incorruptible.
...like education.
...and the news.
I'm not taken in. I see what's happening. Do you?;

How Do You Allow Your Dog To Do Their Business?Feb 16, 2010So to those who do own dogs, do you walk them, tie them to a tree/lead or just let them wander around the yard (hopefully a fenced yard) on their own?
While I was growing up, we raised 3 dogs and all lived to be from 14-17 yo. They were always walked several times a day no matter what the weather was. Never did we have them outside in a yard, nor did we have them tied to a tree or anything else. To my parents, tying them up and allowing them be alone outside was just unthinkable.

ATTN: Trump dies in Jerusalem
Donald Trump-45 passed away on a fact-finding visit to Israel. While he was on a tour of Jerusalem he suffered a heart attack and died.
The undertaker told the American Diplomats accompanying him, 'We can have him shipped home for $50,000, or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land for just $100."
The American Diplomats huddled in a corner and discussed their options for a few minutes. They came back to the undertaker and told him that th ...

Regulations And BusinessOct 24, 2012I saw some comments on the board recently about the strangulation of business through regulation. It's a subject I've always been fascinated by because of its vast complexity, politicization and above all a complete lack of named regulations. It's so rare that any politician right or left ever names an individual regulation they don't like. They are always referred to in bulk: "Those darn regulations are killing American jobs." Certainly some are point ...

How Much Does A Business Have To Make Before It Does Not Have To Pay TaxesApr 05, 2011We've been asking the wrong question.
My family has a business. We hire people, so according to the current standards, we should not have to pay taxes. We are creating jobs.
However, we have not yet reached that magic number. It's higher than most of you think. You have to make more than a million a year, much more than that probably, before you get to stop paying taxes.
Before you get to that point, you get to save money in other ways. I paid cash for my house. I pay cash for ...

Bush and President Obama that were identified and determined by rumor-validation site, snopes.com, to be true, false, a mixture of true and false, or uncertain.
