I don't know how seriously the "possibly on Fox" is, but it might do him some good.
PING
Bill O'Idiot was the wrong choice....I would pay per vision to see Krugman face off against the Krugman Truth Squad.
Hardball had a small section on the First Lady's speech on embryonic stem cell research.
They misquoted her. They misled the audience about her statements. They didn't even try to show the speech. They spent a couple of minutes commenting on how insensitive it was for the First Lady to say a couple of things in her speech about how it was wrong for the proponents of embryonic stem cell research to pretend that throwing a lot of public money at it would result in cures any time soon.
Hardball host and two other members of the MSNBC participated in this fraud. They never once made a distinction between adult stem cell research and embryonic stem cell research. They didn't mention that the First Lady's remarks were about "embryonic" stem cell research. They didn't bother explaining how the President is funding embryonic stem cell research, and why he is funding it that way.
I have yet to see an issues oriented journalistic program analyzing the facts behind the issues that are part of this election. The news media seem content to keep the general public in the dark as to the facts and backgrounds.
It occurs to me that the war in Iraq, the war on terror, and the economy might not be the deciding factors in this election. The deciding factor might be the fact that the news media has done a major disservice to the public by preferring sensationalist journalism and partisanship to true journalism. Then again, the only partisanship the journalists of this nation should have is Americana. They should take the side of America in a global world where the journalists have cloaked their anti-Americanism with the broad excuse of "globalism".
And Fox News is not partisan enough to balance out CNN, MSNBC, and CBS. Fox News may not be perfectly balanced, and may lean a little to the right, but they still give much of their time to the left's spin doctoring. Fox News could produce exposés on stem cell research, French President Chirac, Saddam's torture chambers, and they can update their stories from the front to include the more recent good things that our soldiers have done out there besides the fighting.
anyone get any screenshots of Krugman? He looked terrified of O'Reilly. heh. His eyes...
