While the left-wing activist groups supported by billionaire George Soros have been attacking the Halliburton Company ? Soros has been quietly taking a major stock position in the company. The Securities and Exchange Commission reports Soros has purchased nearly two million shares of the company once run by Vice President Cheney ? investing more than $62 million.

I just searched CNN.com for it and they are not reporting it yet. I wonder if it is not newsworthy enough for them. They need to squeeze in some more Annna Nicole coverage.
Any analyst with a grain of common common sense would tell you that there’s no difference between the right and the left on foreign policy. When was the last time you had a president critical of the Israel? I can’t tell.
And while you people are quibbling about sentattional news bashing Dems or Reps, people are dying and countries’ pillaged.
PLATFORM PRESS RELEASE
Tuesday 27th February 2007
Iraq?s Cabinet has just approved a Hydrocarbon Law which will allow foreign companies control over Iraq?s oil for the first time in 35 years.
Foreign oil companies and the British and US governments have been reviewing and commenting on the law for the past 8 months. Iraqi Parliamentarians are seeing it for the first time this month.
The law allows Iraqi oil to be developed by foreign companies under long term contracts which will give them exclusive rights. These are likely to be contracts known as Production Sharing Agreements. Due to the surrounding controversy, the term Production Sharing Agreement has been dropped in favour of Exploration and Risk Contracts. ERCs are thought to be the equivalent of PSAs under a different name.
Ewa Jasiewicz, Researcher and campaigner at PLATFORM: said: ?The law?s unfair, untransparent and undemocratic provisions reflect the influence and interests of external actors; namely the US and British governments and foreign oil companies. As a document it makes history and marks a milestone in a historical process that has been pushed through by war and occupation. It is the sell off and rip off of Iraq?s oil by foreign companies?.
Hassan Jumaa Awad al Assadi, the leader of Iraq?s most powerful oil union ?The Iraqi Federation of Oil Unions? says: ?Those who spread the word that the oil sector will not improve except with foreign capital and production-sharing are dreaming. They must think again, since we know for certain that these plans do not serve the sons and daughters of Iraq.?

Ok, let’s stipulate that there’s “no difference”.
Then tell me why in hell is the REPORTING of the Democrats misadventures so sparce?
Our media despite the existance of Fox News continues to lean waaaaay left.
I’m sure that was the lesson behind this thread. But you knew that already.

The media simply focuses on what’s negative.
Fox is choking the chicken these days.
Who gives a flying F about a billionaire A-hole like Soros?
