That’s because the satire tag wasn’t there originally.

And as a result, I posted it elsewhere and I look like an ass now :( Thanks a lot :(

Was doing to post in two windows, one satire and the other facts, sorry no harm intended.

Asked why language was inserted to specifically bar FOX News Channel from programming, he replied, "FOX News isn't a source of proper information."

LOL!

But this part's real.

Well, can you make up for it some by providing a link to this 1994 “Internet Access For All” thing you’ve mentioned several times? Cause I can’t find anything on that either.

I did find it on another site dated August 14, 2007 where it is not marked as satire either.
Pls don’t do this again.

The story appears here as straight news though I never heard of this site before. http://www.officialnewsagency.com/content/view/51/59/

That’s the original source as linked to from the original post. I figured out it was satire by going there and looking at other things they’ve posted. Doesn’t take long to realize the entire site is satire.

Yes..But as first glance it appears legit—you have to scroll thru the other stuff to realize it’s a spoof. Anyway, damage done. And it’s a lesson learned about which posts to trust .

Okay bad poster, slapped myself 3 times.

Where was it that I missed the satire? Lack of a bill #?

I'm not fretting one bit about the latest "strike" in Hollywood. At most, it will affect the single hour of broadcast TV I watch each week. Big deal. Radio and the internet offer all I really need as sources of current information. I don't subscribe to the local fish wrap, but I occasionally see a headline worthy of buying a copy. The paper goes to a good cause afterward...lining the bird cage.

I do have a TV, DVD players and a satellite TV subscription. I'm not on welfare...I pay exorbitant taxes. I would sell all of that before I would ever consider living on the taxpayers tit.

John, if you go back and look at posts 6,7, 10, 18, 20, 22, 27, 29, 33, 34, and especially 40, you will see it is being picked up on.

The article fails to mention that President Bush was already agreed to sign the bill.

Moreover, the article has another mistake. It is not 3 billion for free cable but actually 3 trillion dollars for Free Cable to the Poor.

Do you have a LINK on that.

THIS is outrageous!

[trumandogz]

The 3 trillion dollars includes to cost of the 96 inch Plasma Screens that all Welfare households will receive as well as the cost of adding all the premium Porn Channels.
