This is cool. I remember when non of these dots were ever connected publicly and we were at the mercy of the NY Slimes and Co.

Nice to see the biases exposed for all to see.

The major media have been helping out the 'cRat propaganda machine for years. This election year will take this collusion to new heights. And the new campaign financing law won't help either. Doesn't it prohibit a lot of political spending (TV time) in the last weeks of the campaign??

Therefore the biased media gets to dominate the least few weeks, gets to twist and turn the election their way.

As "The Note," ABC News' daily political memo, conceded Feb. 10, "the Washington and political press corps operate with a good number of biases and predilections."

Amazing to see ABC News admit that the Washington Press corps has biases, even if it does not specify that those biases almost exclusively are to the benefit of the left.

After all it is obvious to all but the most jaded extreme leftist that the press is out there running interference for them.

John F. Kerry and the DNC may have a coordinated press corps slavishly following every twist and turn of the party line but they can't get away with it like in the old days, thanks to the Internet and the rise of alternative media like Townhall.com, Worldnetdaily.com, Frontpagepag.com, MediaResearchCenter.com and our own beloved FreeRepublic.com. Today, the media has competition and Kerry no longer gets a free pass with the public remaining in ignorance of his and his party's true views. The VRWC is alive and well.

The Republicans are playing a game where the opposition is allowed to bend the rules and have an extra player on the floor...Big Media. The deck is stacked against Bush, so he has to come out swinging. I'd only do so many of those feel-good-inspirational music ads before I lay it out to the American public just exactly what John Kerry's record is and what a disaster he'd be as prez.

In fact, much of the press seems eager to help him out as he challenges a president who, it's fair to say, is not popular with the Washington press corps.

The bias is really getting blatant. The 9/11 ad flap is just one example of how the reporters didn't even try to include an equal amount of pro and anti comments, nor did they mention the groups which the professional victims were involved with. Disgusting.

Of course, this aggressive stance could easily backfire: Too many public complaints about what many will see as justifiable critiques of his record runs the risk of making Kerry and the Democrats look like a bunch of whiny crybabies.

They already do. Kerry and the Crybabies...new flip-flop (as opposed to hip hop) band.

There was an amazing incident a couple of weeks ago: Kerry, campaigning in Dayton, Ohio, delivered a boring rendition of his economic message, leaving TV reporters without a usable soundbite. Until, that is, a producer for Dan Rather's "CBS Evening News" asked him to try again. This time he came up with something more memorable - which was used on that night's broadcast.

Well, you have to give credit to Dan Rather. He coached his favorite horse, but he didn't fabricate quotes for his story, which is more often the case at major newspapers like the NY Times and Wash Post. Rather comes from a long line of reporters who would prefer to monkey with the results, as did NBC in the exploding gas tank sham or ABC's spoiled meat deception.
