Media distortion from Yahoo and the Christian Science Monitor on Obama and religion

Trinity United Church of
Christ in 2008

Someone named Amy Sullivan writing for Yahoo and the Christian Science Monitor spewed out a couple of dozen or so paragraphs on Barack Obama and his religious beliefs. While the lame duck's longtime membership in Trinity United Church of Christ is mentioned, there is no mention of the pastor there, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. Nor was there a word about the that Wright's hateful anti-American philosophy and his racist Black Liberation Theology. It was Wright who, on the Sunday after the 9/11 attacks, shouted "Not God bless America but God d*mn America" and "America's chickens have are coming home to roost."

Wright presided over Obama's wedding and he baptized his daughters. He was not some peripheral character in Obama's life--he was the man he credited for his conversion to Christianity.

When the Rev. Wrong became too controversial for even Obama, he quit Trinity United, shortly after he declared, "I can no more disown (the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.) than I can disown my white grandmother."

This is the sin-of-omission of media bias, Ms. Sullivan.

Rockpile: Wrong Again (Let's Face It)

The late 1970s and the early 1980s were the time of the second British Invasion. In this video, several forces come into play. Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe released several "solo" albums that were really Rockpile efforts. When there contract entanglements were straightened out in 1980, the band released their only official album, Seconds of Pleasure.

It's a real gem but the band promptly broke up after its release. Lowe and Edmunds, in a clear sign of disunity, kept their own managers after the solidification of Rockpile.

Another UK New Wave force was Squeeze, anchored by the Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook songwriting team.

Here we see Rockpile, with Edmunds singing lead, performing Difford and Tilbrook's "Wrong Again (Let's Face It)."

Chicago Police department ripped in DOJ report

Had Hillary Clinton won the presidency this report would not have had as much "bang" as Rahm Emanuel would be serving in her cabinet next week.

But now he's twisting in the wind.

From ABC Chicago:

The investigation portrayed a police force corroded by the use of unreasonable force - many times prompted by a factor of racism - and protected by a code of silence. The deadly force and racism issue went uncontrolled because of a lack of training, according to the DOJ report.

"We found CPD officers do not fully report their uses of force and that supervisors are not appropriately reviewing these uses of force. We found that Chicago's accountability systems are broken. Many complaints that should be investigated are not," said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta, head of the Civil Rights Division.

From officers falsifying reports, to lying in court testimony, to cover-ups of misconduct and crime data, the DOJ report summed up the city's thick blue curtain.

"For decades, Chicago has failed to develop a comprehensive, integrated system to track and make public basic information about its police force," the report said.
