Political corruption across the country!!

[MeCajunboy]

This just in! See report on CNN News. Looks like corruption is not limited to Lousisana?

Two mayors and two state legislators are among 11 public officials arrested in New Jersey as part of a corruption investigation, the U.S. attorney's office in Trenton announced Thursday.

Passaic Mayor Samuel Rivera is among 11 officials arrested Thursday in a corruption probe.

1 of 2 "The defendants allegedly demanded and accepted payments ranging from $1,500 to $17,500 at any one time," the release from the U.S. attorney's office alleges.

"Each of the 11 public officials and one associate accepted the corrupt payments from companies that offered insurance brokerage or roofing services to school districts and municipalities," the news release said.

State Assemblymen Mims Hackett Jr. and Alfred E. Steele -- both Democrats -- and Passaic Mayor Samuel Rivera are among those arrested, the news release says.

Steele also is undersheriff in Passaic County, just outside Newark. Hackett is also mayor of Orange. Watch who is involved

Thanks damo, we sometimes forget that what is happening to us as we experience it, has probably happened on a much larger scale in other countries ages ago. and will probably keep repeating itself if we don't all work together to resolve it.

I'd trust FOX before CNN. CNN has an extreme liberal bias, as does NBC. I think FOX has a lot of Chrisitans working for it, based on watching them for the last 10 years.

With the kind of filth that is routinely on Fox, you think it "has a lot of Christians working for it".

Precisely what "filth" are you referring to?

I would be interested in seeing that as well.

Have you guys never turned on Fox?

Lets see, The Family Guy, their publishing and attempted airing of O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened (until virtually every single American said it was the most indecent show ever to be aired on television and they were dragged kicking and screaming into not airing it), Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire, Married by America (viewers get to choose spouses), The Inside (which aired an episode with themes of forced sodomy and S&M fetishes to prime time viewing audiences), Paradise Hotel, Whose Your Daddy?....should I list more.

Fox news is the National Enquirer of Network News, and Fox Networks has a such a trashy lineup that you would think Larry Flint ran it. Fox is Fox you know. Fox News, Fox Sports, Fox Network, Fox Movies, its all Fox. These same guys that promote themselves as pillars of morality on Fox News are getting paid by a media conglomerate that runs such family favorites as Temptation Island (a show whose premise is on tempting couples to commit adultery). Everything morally wrong with broadcast media today can be found, and usually has been pioneered, on Fox.

In terms of decency and morality, I would take Ted Tunner's Networks any day over Murdocks.
