These media shills are like fools
They've broken old media rules
They don't apply heat
But praise the Elite
To help them abscond with our jewels

US plummets in press freedom.
http://rsf.org/index2014/en-index2014.php
The 2014 World Press Freedom Index spotlights the negative impact of conflicts on freedom of information and its protagonists. The ranking of some countries has also been affected by a tendency to interpret national security needs in an overly broad and abusive manner to the detriment of the right to inform and be informed. This trend constitutes a growing threat worldwide and is even endangering freedom of information in countries regarded as democracies. Finland tops the index for the fourth year running, closely followed by Netherlands and Norway, like last year. At the other end of the index, the last three positions are again held by Turkmenistan, North Korea and Eritrea, three countries where freedom of information is non-existent. Despite occasional turbulence in the past year, these countries continue to be news and information black holes and living hells for the journalists who inhabit them. This year’s index covers 180 countries, one more than last year. The new entry, Belize, has been assigned an enviable position (29th). Cases of violence against journalists are rare in Belize but there were some problems: defamation suits involving demands for large amounts in damages, national security restrictions on implementation of the Freedom of Information Act and sometimes unfair management of broadcast frequencies.

Maria's tits are bigger than that, William, and her ass is waaaay bigger.
Ben, on the other hand, is anatomically correct;)
Cramer is an instant classic. Beyond belief.
Thanx Wild Bill.
New member of Zero Hedge here and I love you guys!!!! Media presstitute shills should all join the rich bankers who are jumping off high buildings, which is very encouraging to me. I think we should all show our support for the TBTF bankers' experiments with acceleration due to gravity and sudden stops. In that vein, I suggest we all wear a T-shirt saying: We are the 99%. We'll push!

Countries that pride themselves on being democracies and respecting the rule of law have not set an example, far from it. Freedom of information is too often sacrificed to an overly broad and abusive interpretation of national security needs, marking a disturbing retreat from democratic practices. Investigative journalism often suffers as a result.
This has been the case in the United States (46th), which fell 13 places, one of the most significant declines, amid increased efforts to track down whistleblowers and the sources of leaks. The trial and conviction of Private Bradley Manning and the pursuit of NSA analyst Edward Snowden were warnings to all those thinking of assisting in the disclosure of sensitive information that would clearly be in the public interest.

Year ending 2013 freedom of press index.

Some more from the article.
...
The United Kingdom (33rd, -3) distinguished itself in the war on terror by the disgraceful pressure it put on The Guardian newspaper and by its detention of David Miranda, journalist Glenn Greenwald’s partner and assistant, for nine hours. Both the US and UK authorities seem obsessed with hunting down whistleblowers instead of adopting legislation to rein in abusive surveillance practices that negate privacy, a democratic value cherished in both countries.
The “special intelligence protection bill” that the National Diet in Japan (59th, - 5) adopted in late 2013 would reduce government transparency on such key national issues as nuclear power and relations with the United States, now enshrined as taboos. Investigative journalism, public interest and the confidentiality of journalists’ sources are all being sacrificed by legislators bent on ensuring that their country’s image is spared embarrassing revelations.
The “war on terror” is also being EXPLOITED by governments that are quick to treat journalists as “threats to national security.” Dozens of journalists have been jailed on this pretext in Turkey (154th), especially for covering the Kurdish issue. In Morocco, unchanged in 136th position, the authorities readily confused journalism with terrorism since the case of online newspaper editor Ali Anouzla. In Israel (96th, +17), freedom of information is often sacrificed to purported security requirements.

Nice work Dewey. I have touched (written) about Morocco and some shit going on there. It ties into this global warming bullshit.

Funny stuff William...Good one.
I actually automatically thought it would be about the administration thats not leading the country.
You caught me out and made me laugh :>)
Cramer, the carnival barker
Likes the lighting to be a bit darker
So Maria can't see
That little "jimmy"
Has been drawn on with permanent marker
Love it.
Must have been on a day when Gold wasn't slammed becasue Maria's nipples aren't nuggets.
that's funny, the story went that Jim used to high five Maria in the PM (when they both worked for CNBC) for pumping Mister Softy in the AM, so Jim could sell his shares later that day. but seriously the guy never did shit with his hedge fund, when he could have made a fortune indexing, (but there were no etfs then) he is the typical american success story, no success (bill clinton, george bush, barack obama) and then parlay your reputation into a big powerful job, the horatio alger thing is broken, guys who can do nothing run everything. or as they used to say those who can do, those cant teach, (those who teach get fat retirements) which is bernanke. bush hired a couple ceos, oneil and snow, to help him run the treasury, but ultimately he hired a goldman man, paulson, who really fucked up the country. we need harry truman for christ sake to nuke some of these bastards, (im from missouri show me - how your goddam policy works before i run the greatest western democracies economy into the ditch) i hate the bomb but
Jim, a fist would have been enough.
Please......PLEEEEEEEASE......tell me WB7 that that is NOT a baby bump on Maria from a 3 way between Booyah and the ChairSatan. PLEEEEEEASSSSsssssss !
Bernanke - The true pump monkey
From the Urban Dictionary: Pump Monkey -
A relentless self-serving cheerleader for financial markets generally motivated by an ulterior motive, e.g. a liar."Experts" who promote their own "book," or investment strategy with an aim toward personal gain. Economic recovery is dependent upon pump monkeys bolstering consumer confidence.
Wait, the Serpent told the TRUTH...wtf

Me neither...
DaddyO
i cant either wtf
Yup, me too. Actually, that happens quite regularly with ZH. I think there are coding issues.
Really. What did you expect?
When the Laws fall silent then REDACTED
Yeah, I thought that too at first (a short satire) but I can see comments being made to it under the contributors log of posts.
Weird.
And the comment numbers are going up, yet I see nothing as well.
It's been running just fine in Virginia, all morning.
Sabe dios.
It's running fine here as well. Try another web browser.
That was the trick. Thanks.
Ya'll have been placed on the UNDESIRABLES LIST by the NSA.
About damn time..., and welcome aboard;)
PS - ZH has been running slower than hell, the last couple of days. The Techies might know why, but there are issues.
The ole serpent has been at it many many years before any of us were born. Tricked more than a few. And all those fooled in 1913 are pretty much dead now.
'Tree of Lies,' with Bernanke as the masked Douche Weasel, is flipping brilliant.
The Media-Political Power Cabal focuses people's attention on the inane while they pick the pockets to take your wealth.
The magician's trick...
it's the hand you are NOT watching that's doing everything.
...it's called quantum computing
