When we think of protecting children from famine, dehydration, and preventable diseases, many of us think of UNICEF.

American MILITARY spied on peace groups

December 22009

Newly declassified documents reveal that an active member of Students for a Democratic Society and Port Militarization Resistance in Washington state was actually an informant for the US military. The man everyone knew as John Jacob was in fact John Towery, a member of the Force Protection Service at Fort Lewis. The militarys role in the spying raises questions about possibly illegal activity. The Posse Comitatus law bars the use of the armed forces for law enforcement inside the United States. The Fort Lewis military base denied our request for an interview. But in a statement to Democracy Now, the bases Public Affairs office publicly acknowledged for the first time that Towery is a military operative. This could be one of the key revelations of this era, said Eileen Clancy, who has closely tracked government spying on activist organizations

Megyn Kelly’s ACORN “Interview” Fair on Fox News?

October 132009

After Fox News smeared the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) throughout the Fall 2008 campaign, warning of massive voter fraud that never ended up happening, you would think Fox News’ Megyn Kelly would be bringing on ACORN spokesperson Scott Levenson to apologize, but, instead, the Fox News smear of ACORN just continued as I show in this latest video.

You can find the Megyn Kelly’s interview of ACORN’s Scott Levenson on the Fox News website at http://www.foxnews.com/video-search/m/22006317/who_s_counting.htm

You can find more information about the Fall 2008 smear of ACORN on the bradblog page at http://www.bradblog.com/?page_id=6500

That page also contains the fair use image I used of ACORN’s 2007-2008 voter registration drive.

And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D
