Current Events

Obama Upsets French, Arabs is an article written by Rachel Marsden. The article contains this informative remark:

Government regulations mandating things like environmental controls as a result of liberal pet-cause lobbying have accounted for 1/3 of US vehicle price increases, according to a study at the University of California, Davis. Another study by the Brookings Institution found that regulatory costs are absorbed by the manufacturers. Meanwhile, foreign auto companies are allowed to slap high tariffs on competing foreign imports. It really isn’t Bush’s mess to fix.

Information like this highlights the hidden costs of environmental policies. Is the environmental impact of regulations worth the price of multi-billion dollar taxpayer bailouts or bankruptcy? Are most people even aware of the downside?



New reporting has become blatently politicized. O’Reilly Alone Reports Gay Attack on Christians is a Culture and Media Institute article which shows the bias. The content of the article speaks for itself. The actions described are disturbing yet newsworthy. So why is the mainstream media ignoring these events?
