Today Fox News has as its feature story, a piece on the a NASA program that even though canceled due to a belief that the technology is out of date and unnecessary, is being forced to proceed by congressional action and cost the American tax payers $500 million. Here is the wording by Fox News:
It’s the frustrating result of an ongoing political battle that stretched throughout this year. With the potential cancellation of Constellation looming, lawmakers inserted clauses into NASA’s 2010 budget to protect Ares I jobs in their home states, effectively preventing NASA from shutting down the program pending a new budget from Congress.
So who would have caused such waste just to save jobs in their district? Fox News fails to produce any names. Why would that be? Shouldn't we be mad at the people who are wasting tax payers money. Doesn't this drive up the deficit and Fox News hates increases to the deficit. Isn't this big government evil stimulus spending? The reason Fox News doesn't mention the congressmen who inserted the pork is because it is Republican Richard Shelby.
Fair and Balanced? I guess that statement is based on the belief that the US is a center right country. That means it is fair and balanced from a right leaning perspective. Screw the truth. Report propaganda.
