Hybrid- Do you think the advent of technology has made the mainstream media become lazy? It seems press releases and AP/Reuters stories make up alot of the source information.

Another question:
Sen. John McGee is from Canyon County and is also on the Transportation committee. I’ve heard he is pretty close to Gov. Otter. Maybe he would be able to shed some light on this subject as he seems to be in the middle of all these “issues.”

8 years of lies? Try over 65 years of lies when you go to http://www.CAFR1.com and discover TRILLIONS of hidden cash while we are always told there has never been enough. This is not a party issue. Both parties answer to the same money masters coming from huge reserves. The government control it all because they own it all due to the money involved. There has been a total media blackout concerning Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports. What about the Guardian folks carrying an article on this subject? Here in lies the source of all lies. Any takers? Very interesting decrease in Idaho’s Transportation expenditures in the last 5 years while revenue surpluses have increased by over $200 million.
Anyone interested in investigating this relationship? It is all found in the CAFR. And Ada and Canyon Counties both have CAFRs also. Cannot find $300,000–look in the CAFRs. Money never just goes poof–it always goes somewhere, we just have not been told of where the funds go.

Oops. As I read ” I guess that’s one explanation of how someone with so little experience, and a many questionable acquaintances was elected President last year,” in Hybrid’s comment, until I got to the words “last year,” I thought he was talking about George W.

Guess that’s why he uses the name “Hybrid.”

Robert,
Interesting you would mention lies and spending as a reason to vote for our current president. It’s only been 100 days and we’ve seen the largest government spending bill ever passed, and the largest budget proposal in history. As for lies, I guess the administration and Chris Dodd can decide who is lying as far as the AIG bonuses. Obama promised to end earmarks and pork spending, I guess that totals 9,000 or so lies that were attached to the “stimulus” bill. For the record, John McCain (the other choice) has never requested $1 in earmarks. You bought what the “news media” fed you, like so many others. Conngratulations to the “news media” on a well-run campaign.

From my days involved with government, there is always a lot of inside information about brewing scandals. Old media people often ignored this kind of information. They often made you feel uncomfortable going to them. Sources were hesitant to go to them, for a variety of reasons, including apathy, distrust and delay. New media offers a more receptive ear. Thus, I am not really surprised when so many good stories first appear through blogs like this one.
