Sharpton/Jackson Ask NFL To Block Limbaugh Bid
The latest complaints came a day after executive director of the NFL Players Association, DeMaurice Smith, urged players to speak out against Limbaugh's bid.
"I have asked our players to embrace their roles not only in the game of football but also as players and partners in the business of the NFL," Smith said in a statement Sunday. "They risk everything to play this game, they understand that risk and they live with that risk and its consequences for the rest of their life.
"We also know that there is an ugly part of history and we will not risk going backwards, giving up giving in or lying down to it.

The Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson attacked the bid by Rush Limbaugh to buy the St. Louis Rams on Monday, saying the conservative radio host's track record on race should exclude him from owning an NFL team. Sharpton sent a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, arguing that Limbaugh has been divisive and "anti-NFL" in some of his comments "appealing to the fears of whites" with an unending line of insults against blacks and other minorities. In 2003, Limbaugh worked briefly on ESPN's NFL pregame show. He resigned after saying Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed. January 2007 show, Limbaugh commented: "The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it." "We also know that there is an ugly part of history and we will not risk going backwards, giving up giving in or lying down to it." |

Toxins Still In Toys Due To Lack Of Enforcement
In February a new federal law banned the sale of children's products with more than 600 parts per million of lead. In August the limit dropped to 300 parts per million. That's still higher than the 40 parts per million the American Academy of Pediatrics believes is safe. The law requires manufacturers to have a third-party lab test toys before they can be sold, but that part of the law was put on hold until next year, sparking criticism over enforcement. "They don't really know if lead or phthalates are in their products, so we don't know either," said Spark. Her daughters have a playroom full of toys that she can only hope are free from lead and other toxic chemicals. It's hard to know what's in products," said Spark. "In fact, I think it's impossible to know." The environmental watchdog group Healthystuff.org recently tested hundreds of consumer products and found unsafe levels of lead and other toxic chemicals in everything from tennis balls to pet supplies. |

The mission of the Media Research Center, "America's Media Watchdog," is to bring balance to the news media. Leaders of America's conservative movement have long believed that within the national news media a strident liberal bias existed that influenced the public's understanding of critical issues. that liberal bias in the media does exist and undermines traditional American values, but also to neutralize its impact on the American political scene. What they launched that fall is the now acclaimed — Media Research Center (MRC) The Business & Media Institute Cybercast News Service |

Faux News Exposed
I wish I could put all the blame On FOX news. There are many people who want only that which will reinforce their own opinions and avoid anything that challenges it.
Where there is a demand there will always be someone who will sink low enough (for enough money ,of course) to supply.
Thank You Socratoad of ClipMarks for finding this.
