The Congressional Budget Office estimated on Tuesday that the Affordable Care Act will reduce the number of full-time workers by 2.5 million over the next decade. That is mostly a good thing, a liberating result of the law.The paper (or channel) which reports that it's a good thing that 2.5 million more people will lose their jobs as a result of the pet policy of the Beloved Leader is not acting as an unbiased news agency, but rather as a cheerleader. This is not "some jobs are disappearing/going over seas as new jobs come in to replace them," but rather just "jobs will be lost in an already down economy, and that's a good thing because we cannot make the One look bad." Jobs are lost, and so people make the best of a bad situation, but the papers will make the job loss seem like the good situation and ignore that the people who are making the best of it would (mostly) rather be employed. They might as well write "The chocolate rations have been increased from thirty grams to twenty five grams!"
We may be pessimists, but we are prepared to give an account of our hope. We may be skeptics, but we are ever faithful. We may look down with sorrow on the human condition--but this sorrow begets charity. We are heralds of the dusk, but like watchmen we await the new dawn.
Contra Mozilla
[close]
Firefox users we wanted to take this space to let you know what Mozilla, the company that makes Firefox has been doing, and it's not good. Mozilla recently forced its CEO to resign because he had, 6 years ago, donated $1,000 to a pro-family political group. Apparently Mozilla is intolerant of anyone that disagrees with their Liberal/progressive view of politics. To read more please visit WhyFirefoxIsBlocked.com. We aren't blocking Firefox, but we feel it is important to let you know what's going on. For those who are curious, the reason why we are not blocking firefox is that the script to do so also blocks a variety of firefox alternatives, such as IceDragon and others which are similar to firefox and based on the same open-source code. We do think it is important to push back on this issue: for starters, you can leave firefox a comment here. You can also switch to another browser: here are six more free browsers (besides IceDragon) which are supposed to be similar to FireFox (because they are based on the same open-source code) but which are not otherwise affiliated with Mozilla.

Bias? What Bias?
I've heard it said that reality has a liberal/progressive/Leftist bias. If anything, the opposite is true, though in any given election the general public may lean left. What certainly does have a liberal or progressive slant is the mainstream media:
