Over nearly 10 years, BuzzFlash has repeatedly received e-mails and letters from readers thanking us for helping them by offering articles that dispel the right wing/centrist mainstream media myths. During the Bush years, many a time people wrote something akin to "I don't know how I would have survived with my sanity intact without you."
Since I only have a salary of $22,500 a year, these are the rewards of our work.
But who do I go to in order to make sure that I maintain my sanity?
Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show."
In fact, it is the only program I watch with any regularity on television. (Alas, the cable package that includes MSNBC costs more, so I watch Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann in the day-after clips.)

Forget about the two GOP govenor pick-ups in VA and NJ. The splash heard 'round the country was Right Wing Nut Job (RWNJ) Doug Hoffman getting his teabags dunked by Democrat Bill Owens in New York's 23rd Congressional District, which borders the "socialist" nation of Canada.

Move over Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, a cross-eyed senior citizen congresswoman from the hinterlands of North Carolina is outFOXing you with statements only the typhoid fever mind of Glenn Beck could come up with.
Most recently Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (5th District, R-N.C.) stated point blank that health care reform is more of a threat to the U.S. than terrorism: "I believe we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country."

After generally experiencing a post-Obama inauguration period of disappointment, progressives mobilized themselves, heightened their intensity of feeling, hit the streets, and bombarded Congress to ensure a public option -- and the activism paid off: Harry "Who Took My Backbone?" Reid actually included a government option with a state opt-out in his consolidated version of a Senate bill.

Well, the corporate mainstream media is by and large defending FOX against accurate and unusually candid characterization by the White House.
It's mindboggling to believe that a WH lapdog press corps who embraced Jeff Gannon would somehow quibble about whether FOX News -- which does everything from incorporating GOP message points as "news" to leading "tea party" rallies to ignoring basic facts and replacing them with propaganda -- is an arm of the right wing and the GOP.

For BuzzFlash, when it comes to enabling rape, the Republican think tank-media-political infrastructure sticks together: a bunch of white guys -- primarily from the South -- who believe corporate criminal personhood trumps the rule of law when it comes to gang rape.
I have written two pieces on the extraordinarily shocking and ethically sick vote of 3/4s of the GO
Sarah Palin Goes Down Cheap on Amazon: Just $9 for "Going Rogue," A $29.00 Book. WTF?

Not many new books get a 69% discount before they are even released. In fact, BuzzFlash -- which sells progressive books -- has never seen such a slashed price for a book before it came out like the $9.00 Amazon.com is charging for "Going Rogue."
Yes, Palin and "Going Rogue" -- not released until November 17 -- are going down cheap, at a price usually reserved for what are called "remainder" books, the surplus stock of a book that is dramatically discounted.
Of course if you give it away, you can have a popular product, so it's no surprise that as of October 19, "Going Rogue" is number 4 on Amazon.
And the right-wing think tank media infrastructure, which is so successfuly integrated, is indeed giving it away!
The right-wing rag site, NewsMax, is offering "Going Rogue" free with a subscription, or for a cost of -- coinky dink -- $9.00.

A phony publicity-seeking Balloon Boy story can, in a moment, consume the attention of virtually the entire American media, but -- as I wrote yesterday -- there has ban nary a lick of coverage about 3/4s (30) of the Republican Senators voting to enable rape, as they did last week.
In fact,
