Canada Free Press: Better than Fox

Canada Free Press

The old feeder has been a regular reader of the Canada Free Press online 'newspaper' for several years. Now that the US media is either ridiculously biased in favor of Obama and the Democrat Party's Marxist schemes or else running scared, I find myself turning to the CFP even more.

Even the reviled-by-the-left Fox News feels compelled to clothe their reportage in the guise of being "fair and balanced". Being fair to America's enemies is either stupid or naive. You can't strike a balance with evil. I find Fox's sappy leitmotif "we report, you decide" to be offensive. Fox can't report everything; they decide what gets covered. I suspect Fox is afraid our government will adopt overt censorship, as all Marxist governments are wont to do.

The Canada Free Press proudly puts their conservatism in their banner. I'm more conservative than not, so I like having an unabashedly conservative news source. Give the Canada Free Press a try.

Caveat: As with anyone else's ideas and opinions, the CFP must be read with a critical eye. I don't agree with everything Judi McLeod and her cohorts publish. Hey, I'm a disagreeable cat by nature.

Grass-Mud Horse

Naughty Grass-Mud Horse

Caught this at Art Diamond's very excellent blog: China's Grass-Mud Horse Has "Made Government Censors Look Ridiculous". Read more about this trick on the Chinese internet censors here at Language Log. I love it when government censors are made to look ridiculous.

Art Diamond is a Professor of Economics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. If you don't read his artdiamondblog.com, you should check it out. It is one of my favorites. The old feeder studied at the UNO College of Business Administration back in the 1970's. It is there that I learned about classical liberalism and to appreciate the free market.

Internet Censorship of ZombieTime blog by my ISP?

My ISP has apparently blocked access to a well-known and heavily trafficked blog that has been critical of Barack Obama. The site is zombietime.com. I am able to access the site using my backup telephone modem connection. I have not asked or agreed to allow my broadband ISP, MicroLnk, aka SpeedNet to apply any sort of filtering to my internet access. I beleve this may be a politically motivated decision at my ISP's corporate level, or it may just be a hack implemented by a pro-Obama employee of the company. In either case, I am outraged.

Because my broadband ISP has no real-time support on weekends, there is no way for me to report this apparent censorship. If you are a MicroLnk or SpeedNet customer, I would ask you to try to connect to zombietime. If you are blocked, please let me know. I am sufficiently sophisticated technologically to know that the problem is not at my end.

Brownshirt tactics have become so commonplace with the Obama camp that I would not be surprised if this is not another egregious example of the type of suppression of dissent that we may expect to become the norm in an Obama administration.
