    "In 1994, Freedom Magazine, owned by the Church of Scientology, ran what it called an "expose" about the "history of prejudice" toward minorities and women at the Times. Among the points it specifically raised were the paper's own statistics indicating it had a low percentage of African Americans in senior positions and a complaint about the glass ceiling women confronted at the newspaper. This expose ran some three months after the Times was accused by the Church of Scientology of "inflammatory" coverage based on "lies and innuendo". It also specifically accused the Times's editor, Andy Barnes, of possessing a "striking lack of sensitivity" because Barnes had said, "I don't sense that the world is about to end on this issue." "In response to the publication of the expose, Barnes responded, "I don't wish to dignify Freedom by making them my judges on the questions of how we run the newspaper....They have another agenda going, and they may present themselves as journalists, but they're not"." It's kind of hard to believe a newspaper accused of being racist to provide the public with valid information on our first black president. So to that chart I SCREAM BULLSHIT!!!!!

    Great, non-partisan research on Obama's promises. I'm an Obama fan, but this site gives it to you straight.
