I have been monitoring the liberal media coverage of Ted Kennedy's recent crisis of conscience which resulted in his decision to, as Spike Lee would put it, "Do The Right Thing" and resign from 'The Owl'. Ted's very active, virtually daily participation in 'The Owl' occured in the early/mid 1950s. Are we to believe that an organization that would not admit white women during that era would NOT discriminate against minority males? Lacking "journalistic standards", you or I would ask Senator Kennedy if there were any minority male members of 'The Owl' during his college years. So far, the liberal media, who lords their "journalistic standards" over any and all critics of their bias has not asked Kennedy the question or determined the facts without his cooperation. That's because the liberal media closes ranks around one of their own. Stand by, the information will be forthcoming as soon as the bloggers get the bit in their teeth and perform the investigative journalism that the liberal media will not. MY PERSONAL ADVICE TO POTENTIAL KNIGHT RIDDER INVESTORS: "Plastics"
That's the way we'll get the news without bias.
Ping!
Take comfort that the story was not buried or lost--it would have been, years ago, which is why TK hasn't bothered to quit the OWL thus far. He just assumed that the media would cover for him like it did his (sob) big brother.
We have something for Captain and Powerline to look into. :D
