well beyond what it was under the Bush Administration. Perhaps he's thinking of Obama's insistence that he can order the killing of Americans overseas via drones, but it could be a number of points that went beyond what the Bush Administration actively sold.

Do you have any actual examples of dishonesty on the part of Democracy Now? Should be easy since, as you say, they are dishonest 'very often'.

Before you post more things like that, remember-- just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's dishonest.
