Small excerpt below where she seems to give us some respect.

Millions of Americans, many with thoughtful positions, oppose what they call a globalist agenda. For instance, GOP presidential candidate and Congressman Ron Paul opposes both the World Trade Organization and NAFTA, saying they are not about so-called “free trade…in practice,” but are really about free trade for special interests (such as agriculture, Big Pharma and financial services)........

FoxBusiness has been surprising "fair and balanced" compared to its cable counterpart. Can't explain why. Maybe they think it is too small and unnoticed to care that they let their journalists action ask their own questions of candidates.

Good point.

It reminds me of Day 1 of the Iraq War. We entered into it with weapons of mass destruction as the justification Prior to the dropping of the first bombs the situation was that Bush threatened Saddam to get rid of his weapons of mass destruction or we were coming after him.

As the first bombs fell, the caption all over MSM was "Operation Iraqi Freedom". Seems like the purpose of the mission changed on Day 1, and they had a new name for it. It was all about liberating the Iraqis now, which the day before wasn't even a topic of much discussion.

After all, how can anyone be against freedom, right? Even if we have to bomb you into submission to provide it to you.

The moment I saw that caption I knew the propaganda machine was going to be cranking overtime to dupe the public into believing the war was justified even if no weapons were found.

It is nice to give horrible programs lovely names.

Making anyone opposed to the Patriot Act sound unpatriotic, etc.
