It's been a known issue for a long time. Thousands of birds get
killed by windmills.

I remember a story of a group of tree huggers, ozone huggers and
wildlife smoochers who rescued a young seal that had been poisoned
by an oil spill. The wonderful, compassionate, loving people worked
very hard to save the seal's life and restore its health. These nice
folks took the cute young seal back to the ocean to release it and
bid it a tearful farewell since they had become very attached to the
little critter. As they released the seal into the water, the proud
saviors waved goodby to their little pal when suddenly, BAM!, they
watched in horror as the seal shot out of the water in the jaws of a big
killer whale and disappear beneath the waves never to be seen again.
That's life. ^_^

Moreso in California, where many turbines are smaller and turn much
faster.

It's not surprising, because the operating principles of american news
outlets is to report as little bad or demoralizing news as possible.
Because americans are children, and children are turned off by bad news,
and bad news doesn't help to sell advertising.

All to often in the US, the truth hurts - and children have a low
tolerance for pain.

Boob, what part of "I remember a STORY" did you not understand? I
imagine if I had written "possibly apocryphal" after "STORY" your
P.L.L.C.F. sensibilities would not have been so disquieted? I do
hope I didn't cause you to throw a temper tantrum possibly hurting
yourself or anyone around you so next time I'll check Snopes to find
out if any "STORY" I recall, read or see is true or not. Again, I
apologize if I causes you any distressed. O_o

Nothing suggests one has to be full blooded native. Eagle feathers
are used in spiritual / religious ceremony.

No necessary that you do.

Not true at all.

So-called "bad" news is reported all the time, as long as it fits in
with the message that the publisher wants to deliver. These days, news
is usually tailored to promote the Democrats' platform.

[Strange selection of newsgroups here though]

Without a doubt, the Democrats would strongly disagree with that opinion.

The concept of a "liberal media" is a right wing fantasy. The media is owned
almost entirely by a few mega corporations, and they are certainly not liberal.

The wacko right can now follow up with their typical smears.

So the right wingers keep saying, despite reality.

How many newspapers have a Labor section these days?

How many hours of Labor news are broadcast on that liberal media?

Way does the liberal media almost never discuss the failings of big business,
the downing street memos, the right wing efforts to take away the rights of
voters, the incredible right wing redistricting going on all across the
nation.........

They don't know that, they wish it. And do their best to make it so.

Redistricting is just one of the spoils of war, nothing new. I had a
state Dem chair tell me in the late 60s, in a moment of unintended
clarity, how important the next elections were going to be because they
wanted to gerrymander the districts their way instead of gerrymanders
them the GOP's.
The other interesting thing is that quite a few of the districts
will change over the 10 years.
