Just watched Charlie Rose interview Rupert Murdoch. Program available free (sponsored by HP) via Google.

http://video.google.com/...

At minute 21 of the program, Murdoch admits that the NYPost continues to incur losses. I recall watching another Murdoch interview, in which he also admits that the NYPost continues to incur operating losses.

He always says the same. That profitability is right around the corner.

Why do I diary this?

Because I am tiring of RightWing Nuts citing Air America as the only news institution that operates at a loss, whose operating losses are financed by "like-minded" Americans.

Hope the following is informative to those of you who are following the attempted theft of an election by RightWing Extremists in Mexico.

I. A columnist of centrist newspaper, El Universal, yesterday wrote a compelling column arguing for the possible annulment of the elections.

By law, third-parties can't buy ad time for or against a candidate. Yet, many corporations and corporate lobbying groups did just that.

AMLO and his campaign would file a complaint immediately, but the IFE would take weeks to act, thereby allowing these RightWing Business groups to disseminate their lies (ie. calling AMLO fiscally irresponsible, when the fact is that S&P, Moody's and Fitch all praised AMLO's fiscal resp. as Mayor of Mexico City).

One egregious example, in the column below, was that of the RightWing business group, CCE, whose members have enjoyed the impunity granted to them by the PRI and the PAN. Please note that the CCE also assisted the impeachment campaign against AMLO last year. Read More

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), a Center-Left Mexican politician, has retaken the lead in the upcoming presidential election, to be held July 2, 2006. According to the poll, he leads his closest rival, the UltraConservative Felipe Calderon, 34% to 31%.

Why is this important to Kossacks?

(i) AMLO is a center-left politician who has much in common with the Democratic Party.

http://www.amlo.org.mx/

Villaraigosa, mayor of Los Angeles, invited AMLO to Mexican Independence Day festivities last year. Howard Dean chose AMLO's WarRoom to hold his press conference when he (and other Democrats) visited Mexico City last year. Arturo Valenzuela, who was a Special Assistant to President Clinton, has also been seen in AMLO's WarRoom.

This morning, Milenio published a new poll which shows AMLO (Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador) retaking the lead in the race for Mexico's presidency. He leads 33.6% to 33.1%, after being down in the last poll published by the same paper.

http://www.milenio.com/...

AMLO is a center-left candidate who espouses much of the Democratic Party's political platform.

http://www.amlo.org.mx/

Howard Dean chose AMLO's campaign headquarters to hold a press conference when he visited Mexico City last year. Arturo Valenzuela, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Inter-American Affairs during President Clinton's administration, has been seen in his War Room. Other Clintonites are also reportedly working with AMLO's strategists. Read More

One of Walmart's co-owners in Mexico has launched a campaign on behalf of Felipe Calderon, an UltraConservative candidate for the presidency. The protagonist, Manuel Arango Arias, seeks to convince his employees to support Calderon.

Felipe Calderon, like George Bush, makes repeated references to Scripture during his speeches, and has come out against the morning-after pill. When confronted by the fact that scientists have stated that the morning-after pill is not an abortion pill, Calderon has stated that he doesn't believe them.

Felipe Calderon is also a huge proponent of the flat tax, which will result in tax cut for his wealthy friends. Please keep in mind that there is no capital gains tax in Mexico, nor is there an estate tax. The federal government collects about 11% of GDP in taxes, and Calderon hopes to decrease that even more.
