american media continue to amaze me.....

http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page

This is like a wikipedia whereonly conservative views are present resulting in a very biased representation of history. Looking at pages for barack obama, bill clinton and ronald reagan, one can see how history can be rewritten easily for ones propaganda. Though I see one silver lining here. With the explosion of forms of media which is at least with the current technologies impossible to fully control, it will be very difficult to rewrite history according to ones agenda. But it will be easy to confuse people by loud rhetoric and finally it is about getting only 50% of the people on your side.

The reason given is to screen out the pornographic materials but could be easily used to prohibit politically explosive content as per the will of Chinese government.

Taxation policy United States (1980-2003)

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/14/magazine/the-tax-cut-con.html?scp=1&sq=The%20Tax-Cut%20Con&st=cse

An article by Paul Krugman in detailing history of taxation policy with explanation of political capital behind the policy. Mr. Krugman is a progressive economists and hence his bias towards opposing republican policies shall be taken into account. This will be handy towards similar debate that we will be having in near future in India about optimum tax policy.

Truthiness

"I don't trust books, they're all fact, no heart. And that's exactly what's pulling our country apart today. Let's face it folks, we are a divided nation…between those who think with their head and those who know with their heart" ...Stephen Colbert, a Comedy Central satirist, when he said to have invented a new word 'truthiness' with an intention to ridicule George Bush's penchant of decision making from the gut rather than informed policy decision making.
