Written early. Posted early on FreeRepublic because of interest in both subjects, the Medicare bill and bias in the American media.

I hope you also faxed this to AP in Washington - just for fun.

Thanks for writing all this.
Before I left to go up north for a visit, it looked as though this bill would fail and I paid it little attention.
Since returning last week, I can see the handwriting on the wall and have been researching the various aspects of this bill (which I'm not in favor of but that's beside the point).
If ever there was proof of media bias, this is it.

You ,of course, assume AP has people who can read and/or have a conscience.

No doubt these are grandchildren of the "Dewey Wins Presidency" crowd.

The liberal media, they don't just report the news, they create it out of thin air.

You cannot necessarily trust what you read in the papers, or see on network TV. GASP! No, tell me it isn't so!
How about you cannot trust anything you read in the papers or see on network TV.
To: Congressman Billybob
Very interesting. Thanks.

Nice expose. But you're too kind to them to suggest that they care about getting a story right. As long as it serves their political purpose they could care less about mere facts. It's no skin off the reporters' noses. Their bosses won't discipline them for screwing up the facts, just as long as they continue to screw up--or lie--in ways that favor the Democrats.

, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned the Democrats that they should expect "negative consequences" if they did not vote with their leadership on this bill. I assure every reader that Nancy Pelosi understands hardball politics, and retaliation for those who do not maintain loyalty to their leaders.
I wonder if the 16 Democrats might change parties, not that we would know the difference anymore. Dino or Rino their both the same.

Keith,
Nope, I didn't fax this to AP. I did, however, submit it to my sometime editor at UPI. Fat chance he will run it, but I'm sure he will enjoy it.
To the others,
Please take a look-see at this. If you find it worthwhile, please ping it out to your various lists. Thanks.

In my Sophmore statistics class, I learned that with statistical manipulation, you can make anything say whatever the heck you want it to say.
Just damn.
If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

I called AP once on a Klamath story. They were reporting that low lake levels were the reason for the cut off. I told the gal that the reporter needed to check his facts. The lake was at record level highs. They did change their wording in subsequent stories.

I think if they got several phone calls on this subject telling them to start printing the truth, they might just listen.
