L@@K: Solar Power Web Hosting
After Robert Montgomery wrote in an ESPNOutdoors.com column that the federal government had a strategy in the works that “could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters,” it was only a matter of time before the conservative media took the bait — hook, line, and sinker. Easily made puns aside, the story was tailor-made for “conservative journalism.” After all, Montgomery had no evidence for his claims.
Another week, another wild, right-wing-media-driven conspiracy theory centered on the Obama administration.
Conservative blogs led the charge in advancing the dubious story, posting their own spin under headlines like “Obama: The Will Of The People Be Damned – I'LL Decide Who Can Go Fishing” in the case of RedState.com and “Obama's war on fishing?!?!?!” from the queen of right-wing blogging and bellyaching, Michelle Malkin. It mattered little that the story was complete bunk — unsupported by a shred of proof.
It wasn't long before Fox News' Glenn Beck, a regular purveyor of ridiculous Obama-centric conspiracy theories, took up the yarn. In classic Beck fashion, the crew-cut host told his audience, “I told you a year ago this would happen. I'm not some prophet by any stretch of the imaginations. … People are losing their rights. Who's more important: the fish or you?”
Beck aside, no smear of the Obama White House would be complete without an assist from Rush Limbaugh, the granddaddy of the conservative media. On back-to-back shows, El Rushbo laid it on thick, one day saying that “fishing is about to become a privilege controlled by Barack Obama,” and the next, speaking as if he were Obama: “ou can't touch me. … I can stop you from going fishing wherever you want. … I can do whatever I want to do.”
In perhaps the strangest turn of events surrounding the story, FoxNews.com ended up debunking Fox News, with the conservative outlet's reporter Joshua Rhett Miller writing that government documents didn't contain “language pertaining to a potential ban on recreational fishing, as some reports had previously asserted.” Of course, some of those “reports” included the Fox Nation website, Fox Business Network, and the previously mentioned Beck.
Ultimately, an ESPNOutdoors.com editor acknowledged “errors” in the handling of the piece and its lack of “balance,” but you can expect this one, like so many others, to end up in some chain email from your Fox News-loving uncle in the coming weeks.
The controversy surrounding the latest debunked, conservative-driven conspiracy theory is not the first, nor is it the strangest. Like other bogus stories from the past year, it shares a similar cast of characters, most notably Beck, all eager to tar the president, evidence and journalistic integrity be damned.
Did you know that OnStar, the popular automobile safety feature, is actually a cause for concern because Obama's liberty-killing government could use it to impose “martial law?” You can thank Beck for that one.
Then there was the absurd story that FEMA was building concentration camps for those who disagree with the Obama administration. A year ago, Beck addressed the subject on Fox & Friends stating, “We are a country that is headed towards socialism, totalitarianism, beyond your wildest imagination,” later adding that he “wanted to debunk” the theory that FEMA was building camps, but he just couldn't. Beck would go on to spend weeks sowing the seeds of this bizarre conspiracy theory, noting that he would debunk the issue when and if he could, before finally hosting the editor-in-chief of Popular Mechanics to set the story straight.
The FEMA camp conspiracy dovetailed nicely with another Beck-driven tale of totalitarianism: that Obama is busy assembling a “civilian national security force,” which Beck said was “what Saddam Hussein” did and “what Hitler did with the SS.” Beck's relentless pursuit of this “story” was sparked by a speech in which Obama spoke of expanding the Foreign Service, AmeriCorps, and the Peace Corps. That's right, to Glenn Beck, these respected outfits are akin to Hitler's SS. Shameful.
Reporters who value truth and journalistic integrity should be on notice: Don't trust these Beck-ian right-wing conspiracy theories, the people who spread them, or the networks that offer these kooks a platform. Deeming these folks rational players in the conservative movement deserving of our attention only serves to further undermine the already fragile reputation journalists have among the American people.
It almost makes one yearn for the days when right-wing cranks prattled on about the president's birth certificate. Even Beck wouldn't touch that one.

(1888PressRelease) – This press release is to inform interested parties about hosting-server.org which is a premium domain name. available for purchase.
The internet runs on a few technological principles. One of them is the communication network that runs through the globe. Yet another is the large number of hosting servers that hold the matter of the websites that are accessible on the internet.
There are a number of companies that lease space on a Hosting Server to interested webmasters. The business is highly profitable as well as highly competitive.
The Hosting Server bought by these companies is usually a highly advanced piece of technology and could be from Dell, IBM or another top notch company. The business of hosting is wholly connected with the World Wide Web. Much of the buying and selling of both web servers as well as web hosting is done online, either directly or indirectly.
To conduct this business web companies use a domain name and website to advertise and sell their products to the world. In this business there are a few crucial components. One is the domain name – also known as the URL or web address. Another is the design and usability of the website. The third is the Search Engine Optimization and marketing practices of the company.
Of the three choosing the right web address is the simplest component, even though it is the most effective. A memorable web address that makes you the owner of a particular product in the mind of the customer is enough to take you half the way.
For firms that are looking to branch into web hosting or enhance their brand name with a generic top level domain – www.hosting-server.org is on offer. The name has two key words of the hosting business demarcated by a hyphen. It is memorable and highly friendly to search engines. A good marketing plan could get you to the top of search engine results for the search phrase (Hosting Server) within a relatively short time.
Typing in “hosting server” in a search engine like Google yields 29,200,000 results mostly for Dedicated Servers – the most profitable area of the hosting server business. There are over a half million monthly searches on Google alone for this phrase. Owning a generic domain that is memorable and SEO friendly is a great advantage. If you wish to own this domain, please contact domainsale@hosting-server.org
The hyphen in between the two words works as a separator and is advantageous for search engine ranking. In the era when non-profit hosting is becoming popular, this domain name is a great one to have for a non-profit hosting firm. In addition the domain can also serve as a resource base on the business of hosting servers perhaps supporting a larger hosting concern.
