By all means if they were the #2 corp then whoever runs the New York Times should be #1 for all the false and stolen stories they run.

You don't have to be a vegetarian to be against animal cruelty and you don't even have to care about animal cruelty to care about hazards to your own health.

As far as News Corp "willingly disseminating lies to stir up jingoistic yahoos so they'd support a corrupt, incompetent administration" goes, even by your own argument this only works if people decide to be jingoistic yahoos. Nobody agreed to eat meat from sick cows.

Since they're moving on to the second round, all of the preliminary voting rounds are now closed. All that this post is saying is that Hallmark/Westland, NOT News Corp as might have been expected, will be moving on to the second round of voting.

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Company In America UPSET: #63 Hallmark/Westland Meatpacking Stuns #2 News Corp!]]> I think its kinda ironic that so many people were up in arms over the whole Westland/Hallmark Meat Company investigation. we humans are not usually concerned about how our food is killed. Much like our political enemies, as long as they are dead, who cares how it happened! Eat up America!

The Truth, you can either watch or choose to be willfully ignorant!

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Company In America UPSET: #63 Hallmark/Westland Meatpacking Stuns #2 News Corp!]]> Not too hard to figure out. Lots of vegetarians on the 'net. It isn't the company they're voting for/against, it's the fact that "meat is murder." Many of them see the act of eating an animal as far more evil than, oh say, willingly disseminating lies to stir up jingoistic yahoos so they'd support a corrupt, incompetent administration that would drag a us into a quagmire to make Vietnam look like a model of efficiency while lining the deep, deep pockets of the oil industry... etc.

"But, but, but... what about those poor cows?!" By the way, I was a vegetarian for a long time, but I got over it when I realized that I was becoming one of those people. Sort of like Bill Hicks when he said, "I'd stop smoking but I'm scared I'd become one of you."

]]> <![CDATA[Worst Company In America UPSET: #63 Hallmark/Westland Meatpacking Stuns #2 News Corp!]]> Why did all the polls close at once? Round one was open for nearly two months but round thirty was only open for about two weeks.

Anyway, I am not surprised Hallmart/Westland beat News Corp. To many people are tired of their food being poison.

I'm so confused.

News Corp should have won but people are unfortunatly too dazzled by the flashy colored pixels to see whats really going on.
