Tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, ABC, CBS, NBC, and several cable networks will air " Stand Up to Cancer ," a one hour special to raise cancer awareness and money for cancer research.
But one network is missing: FOX, the network owned by NewsCorp, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, and--by at least 5.46% (and reportedly much more) Saudi billionaire and jihadist Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal.
Instead, FOX is airing two hours of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" And none of the FOX-owned cable networks are broadcasting, "Stand Up to Cancer" either. By making this programming choice, Murdoch and Prince AlWaleed are showing us they are neither smarter than a 5th-grader, nor display even 5th-grader levels of empathy and compassion.
I am not a cancer activist. But it is a disease that spans all stratas of American life and, actually, all human life--rich and poor, young and old, most ethnic groups. Few Americans alive don’t kno...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Citigroup’s largest individual shareholder, Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, said Thursday he planned to increase his stake in Citigroup back to 5%, even as shares of the firm have plummeted in recent weeks.
The move by Alwaleed, a long-time investor in the bank, follows the U.S. government’s decision to inject some $25 billion into the New York City-based bank. That left Alwaleed with about a 4% stake in Citigroup.

Yet another hate crime (watch both consecutive video news reports) that gets very little reporting because the roles of perpetrator and victim don’t follow the Jim Crow America image the media loves to portray. The graffiti scrawled all over this South Florida woman’s walls included "White Bread" and "FTW," which I presume stands for "F-ck The White(s)."

Many readers--and many parties around the country--are rightfully upset that the "Black National Anthem" was sung instead of the REAL American National Anthem at Denver Mayor John Hickenloper’s delivery of the State of the City address, yesterday morning.

As readers know, I oppose charter schools and have for many years. They are merely vehicles to suck your tax money into funding bizarre religious ideologies and further separate America.
I’m all for a competitive marketplace, and that’s where school choice among public schools takes place and, perhaps, vouchers (but those, too, can go for religious schools disguised as secular ones). Charter schools--all based on certain beliefs and other mean... more
