I don't usually stray into political debate on my LiveJournal, but this has got me upset and pissed off to no end.  One of my favorite modes of news and information has recently come under attack and I think I can find it in my heart to come to their aid and offer a small(ish) post on my humble LJ.

Be Warned: When I'm in this state of mind, I have to rant and rail, which the people that this is directed toward need to hear more often than they do.  The following is politically charged and heated and will potentially piss a fair number of people off.  If you're having a good day, you have the right to go read something else.  I won't try to pass a law to make you read my post.
