It would seem there is definitely an incentive for many major news networks to play soft ball with the president because he will have a billion dollars in the bank to advertise with next year.

Media outlets make money selling advertisements.

What do you think?
@fush ya……."Shouldn’t people be smart enough to see it themselves?"

I don’t know about "should", I just know what people currently are. Uninformed and getting manipulated on a daily basis is the tip of the iceberg. The news media is only perpetuating the problem.

The more transparency the better. The system is getting more opaque by the minute…especially since that supreme court ruling about campaign finance and the removal of McCain-Feingold.

Allegations of DWI can often have far reaching collateral consequences. Any Greenville DWI defense attorney knows that a DWI conviction can haunt many people in future job searches. Many businesses and professions conduct background searches for prior criminal charges including DWI.

In some cases allegations alone can cause people hardship in the workplace. Saturday, the principal of a Martin County school turned in his resignation from his position. The resignation followed a Washington County arrest for DWI on April 8. The principle was allegedly driving while impaired on North Carolina 45 in Washington County.

Law enforcement set up a driver’s license checkpoint near the Bertie County line on N.C. 45 April 8. Police claim the 54-year-old veteran educator was stopped during the April 8 operation. The former high school principle reportedly was administered a breathalyzer test after being stopped at the checkpoint. Police arrested the educator at roughly 6:24 p.m. Law enforcement claims the breathalyzer results exceeded a reading of .08 alcohol content; the legal limit is .08 in North Carolina for the purposes of DWI law.

The former educator reportedly also faces charges of possession of an open container of an alcoholic beverage and driving without a license. The 54-year-old is scheduled to appear in court to face the charges on June 28.

In addition to the criminal charges, the 54-year-old is subject to license revocation. License suspensions and revocations can make travel very difficult for people in North Carolina. Once suspended, many people face additional suspensions after being pulled over in subsequent investigations. An experienced driver’s license reinstatement attorney can assess what options may be available for drivers who have lost their driving privilege.

Saturday the Ask, Listen, Learn team headed up to Boston, Massachusetts for the New Balance Boston Indoor Grand Prix at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center on the campus of Roxbury Community College.

The three-hour long event was comprised of women’s and men’s heats and pole vaulting challenges with competitors from around the world. It was truly amazing to see the winner of the Men’s One Mile Run, Russell Brown, representing USA, finish the run in 3:54.81!

Along with the men’s and women’s runs, Lindsay Crevoiserat on the New England Team completed the Girl’s Junior Mile in 4:52.60 and Miles Schoedler on the Visiting Team ran the Boy’s Junior Mile in 4:16.92. All of the runners made it look easy but we know it takes hard work, dedication, and of course saying “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking to achieve greatness like that!

We were especially excited to watch the Ask, Listen, Learn Youth Relay. Six teams competed in this relay, with Cambridge Jets taking the top spot with a time of 1:48.42. Waltham TC took second place with a time of 1:52.66.

Before the event, we were happy to pass out goody bags full of our materials and help kids play our Xavix game with middle schoolers and parents pouring in to the athletic center. We look forward to seeing even more of you at USA Track and Field events later on this year, but in the meantime, please enjoy our slideshow!

Most Florida car accidents result in some injuries, and a disturbing number of these accidents result in serious accidents. Car accidents are responsible for a large number of Florida brain injuries, whip lash, spinal cord injuries, leg injuries, and trauma. The most common injury is whiplash, while brain injuries are the most common type of Florida car accident injury likely to result in fatalities. While virtually all car accident victims are taken to hospital shortly after an accident, some injuries are not visible right away. Symptoms that some Florida brain injury victims have, for example, can take hours or even days to develop.

The first step in recovering from a Florida car accident is to seek medical attention. If you have hit your head, especially, it is important to visit an emergency room. Some closed-head trauma can be fatal but does not always present symptoms at once. Even if you have no obvious symptoms immediately, you could have suffered a serious personal injury, so prompt medical attention is important. It could save your life.

The second step in recovering from a Florida car accident is to continue to get medical attention. Follow up with your doctor if you have sustained any injury. As well, keep records of your injury. For example, note any symptoms and doctor’s directions, so that you can focus on recovering fully. Documenting your injuries is also important for insurance purposes.

Unfortunately, a large part of your recovery from a Florida car accident depends on money. Your insurance and financial situation can determine the quality of medical care you receive and can determine how well you recover financially from your accident. If you are having trouble with your insurance company or if you believe that another motorist was negligent and caused the accident, it is important to talk to a good Florida personal injury attorney soon after your car accident – certainly before you sign anything.

A good attorney can be important in helping you recover. He or she can help you understand your legal rights and options, so that you can make the best decisions possible in your situation. He or she can also investigate the causes of your accident, find all liable parties, and negotiate with your insurance company. This can help ensure that you get a fair claim amount so that you can afford the best medical care possible.

While Florida pedestrian accidents and car accidents can occur at any time, there are many things you can do to help reduce your risk of being in an accident – before you even get in the car:

1) Protect yourself with excellent insurance. Good insurance can help protect you if you are in a collision and ensures that you as well as the other driver are covered for medical bills and related expenses in the event of an accident. Buy the best quality of car insurance you can afford to ensure that you don’t have to pay multiple costs out of pocket.

2) Turn off your cell phone or mobile device. Distracted driving has been proven to increase your risk of being in an accident. Just listening to your mobile device ringing can distract you – and can tempt you to pick up the phone or to sneak a peek at that text message. Put away your device and make sure it is off before you drive off, so that you can put all your focus where it belongs: on the road.

3) Make sure you are ready before you get in the car. Before you get in the car, make sure you are ready to drive safely. Make sure that you have not consumed anything which may affect your ability to drive. Prevent a Florida drunk driving accident by avoiding drinking before you drive, but also take a close look at your medication and any over-the-counter medication you are taking. Make sure it is safe to drive with the medications you are taking. Also, avoid driving when you are sleepy or very emotional.

4) Make sure that your car is ready to avoid accident. Keep your car in good repair and make sure that you walk around your car before you get in. Any tire problems or mechanical problems you have can affect your ability to control your vehicle and prevent an accident. Check with the manufacturer about any known problems with your vehicle. This is especially important if you have an older car – check to make sure that previous owners have had any known problems or recalls addressed.

5) Know your route. Knowing where you are going and having a clear idea of your route ensures that you can focus on driving – not on finding house numbers or street names. Use GPS or online mapping before you leave the house. Keep a copy of the map with you when you drive, but be prepared to pull over to read directions or have a passenger direct you as you drive. Trying to figure out your route as you drive is very distracting.
