When the Web logger Laer ("Cheat Seeking Missiles") called to cancel his 25-year subscription to the Los Angeles Times last Monday, he was made an extraordinary offer. The circulation service rep, detecting that he was fed up with the paper's liberal bias, offered to sell him the newspaper without the news sections. Laer was thunderstruck.

...Journalists who got their panties twisted over Mattis apparently see nothing newsworthy about having the executive vice president and head of news for CNN accuse the U.S. military of deliberately killing journalists.

...Washington Post media analyst Howard Kurtz finally wrote something on Feb. 7. Kurtz omitted eyewitness testimony from Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn.; he reported panel moderator David Gergen as saying something quite different from what he told columnist Michelle Malkin, and skipped over suppression of a videotape of the discussion.

Kurtz also failed to mention he has a show on CNN. "If a PR agent or damage control spinner produced a piece designed to try and save CNN exec Eason Jordan's job, it would be the piece Kurtz wrote," said Web logger and former Democratic political operative Mickey Kaus.

WOW! Jack Kelly strikes again, and his last paragraph is quite telling...

It's fascinating to watch. They struggle in vain to be relevant, when everything -- from their philosophy to their means of delivery -- is passe. Thus does the '60s generation and their acolytes find out what it's like to get old.

The earth rumbles, and we think it's our big feet, stomping the Lilliputians. But what if it's an earthquake about to swallow us up?

We can only hope and pray. God works in mysterious ways.

Clueless twits.

I like what Ann Coulter calls the '60's generation: The Least Greatest Generation

Yes it is - and I believe he's correct - it's an earthquake that's going to swallow them up. They will either get the news correct - or they will be out of business.
