3. Yes. It was their Enron accounting that lost Ted Turner billions of $$$ |
|
and I have no doubt that AOL/Time Warner deal was designed to break him. The Saudis own a big chunk of AOL. Wherever you see Saudi money in the US you will see a BFEE hand in it.

6. Secret program:Repairman "there's ur problem-AOL":FALSE BILLING too |
|
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 02:57 PM by oscar111
computer magazine revealed AOL had a secret program hidden in its signup disk that barred your computer from trying to link up with any other ISP.
Not knowing that at the time, i wasted hours and hours trying to link to another ISP.
two: ON the radio, a repairman show for cprs, ... host asked caller "do you have AOL? " "yes" the repairman then laughed, and said "well there's your problem. AOL causes so many problems, i can usually tell who is signed up with them".
FALSE BILLING: i heard from another source, that AOL users were hit with some fee that they never owed. This trick is widespread in commerce now that Reagan deregulated so much. Even the IRS admitted to it in the nineties. Was on a sixty minutes type show..IRS false billed a priest.

5. They bought Time Warner. They demanded lots of money from |
|
them since they were loosing so much money - and still are. So Time sent most of their computer programmer jobs to India and came up with a neat way to weed out those that were left - they spyed on their internet usage and fired them for illegally using the internet for other than work- a friend of mine included. She has not been able to get another computer job in 2 years thanks to the Bush economy. This was also right before Xmas, so they wouldn't have to pay any bonuses. They have to be repubs

8. This should convince you |
|
Throughout the summer they had a poll that tracked the candidates popularity state by state. For a while, it was pretty accurate, although at no point did I accept it as gospel. Then one day, all of a sudden, the entire map of the U.S. goes red for Bush. Every. single. state. Someone at AOL obviously messed with it, because it was starting to go just a little too blue for their liking.
Also, AOL's debate poll numbers I think were consistently out of line with a majority of other media polls.
So yeah...I think it's safe to say AOL has a slight lean to the right.
