Professor was probably caught by his wife with his pants down while watching the Kelly file and had to write something to cover his butt and save his marriage. It was research sweetie, I'm gonna skewer the vile Fox News, you'll see.

I think I see two of his problems. He wants nuance and complexity in news reporting. In other words, he's way more intellegent than the rabble.

Naw - he wants the newsreader to tell him what is important and what to think (that's the nuance part) and to make simple things seem much more complex (and nuanced) then they really are (that's the complexity part).
And guests on MSNBC, CNN, ABC/CBS/NBC are just as opinionated if not more so - it's just that they don't show you the other (non-liberal) side to contrast them with like Fox does.

He wants the news reader to confirm his beliefs no matter how illogical (nuanced) or totally wrong (complex) they are.

[HINDUSTANTIMES] In which the author laments the fact that Egypt's first democratically-elected president has been sentenced to death, ignoring the fact that he ruled like he'd been elected dictator. It's too bad about the general running things, but when the choice is which dictator you're left with y'gotta go with the lesser of two evils.

Whereas Morsi's action in office weren't a blow?
You need a sizable middle class to make a case for democracy. Otherwise, it's just another academic fantasy. That's why the neo-Marxists are trying to destroy the one here.

Given that the Egyptian justice system entirely retries the case at two levels of appeals courts, which will take several years, and given that during those appeals rounds almost all sentences are reduced, the wailing and breast beating seem a tad premature.
[PocketFullOfLiberty] Yes, you read that correctly. The Chinese Ministry for State Security has more agents living in the state of California than it has FBI. Based in Beijing, the Ministry for State Security (MSS) is responsible for China's foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, and security. The MSS is believed to be responsible for the majority of Chinese espionage.
Military talk show host and veteran Bryan Suits is among the personnel affected by the security breach of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Believed to be committed by the Chinese, the breach is quickly becoming known as one of the worst in the history of the U.S. government.
China's MSS has agents living throughout Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas. The number of MSS agents living in California alone is believed to be between 300 and 800. The high number, Suits explains, is attributed to California's technology sector. Silicon Valley is arguably the world's technological epicenter. Southern California is also home to a plethora of defense contractors, many of which the U.S. relies upon for developing and producing defense related hardware and software. As Suits explains, the presence of these undercover agents is costing us dearly: Stix are unattributed, but I wouldn't doubt the numbers.

Reminds me of the Soviet General's statement from one of Roger Moore's 007 flicks, on how the USSR can't destroy Silicon Valley because, "To the contrary, Comrade, WHERE WOULD SOVIET/RUSSIAN RESEARCH BE WIDOUT IT"!

Strategic Intel, not operational.
Why worry about covert technology transfer, bio, EMP or 'dirty bombs' when 60-90% of the logistics and transportation in the US can be shut down by sleeper fuel station operators draining the tanks, locking the pumps and walking away.

Why do they need spies when they have unfettered access to all of our computers? And if they want to know something that's not in one of our databases they can just ask Obama. He probably won't know it himself but he'd be able to get the answer from one of his underlings.
A comment on Twitter asked: what must America's enemies be thinking of its recent obsession with men becoming women, and white people becoming black?
Even Jelani Cobb of New Yorker has begun to suspect that society has put its foot upon the staircase of madness.
...Cobb ultimately fights back the momentary worry and denies there anything really wrong. She decides that fabulism has a good side; that "our means of defining ourselves are complex and contradictory ... but ... remains vital." However that may be, she is clearly right in seeing the trend cannot stop at Jenner and Dolezal. There are more "trans" things on the horizon, from trans-nationals who "identify" as Green Card holders to trans-realists who identify with their social media avatars [2]. Recent events are just the first trickle of stones which precede an avalanche that is sure to follow.
...The scary thing about finding oneself in the midst of this process is it could be irreversible. It's Jenner and Dolezal's world now. We just live in it. When no combination of words, psychological analysis or even drugs can stop the onset, the only things which the companions of madmen in a castle must consider are a) how bad the final breakdown will be; and b) where to hide when the cultural elites start running around with axes.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
