Why did I have the impression that Orsen was no friend of conservatives? I'll do an FR search, but meanwhile he described more than liberal journalist when we says: "...like all good fanatics, they're utterly convinced that they're in sole possession of virtue and truth. "

'The left sure is pulling all the stops out in this election year. If they lose the election, I expect riots in Beverly Hills and Greenich Village.
And suicides. They're kooks!'

and THIS TIME, when they say they're leaving the USA if Bush is elected, THIS TIME, I REALLY, REALLY want to see them LEAVE!!!!!!!!!

What is more amazing is that the Hollywood crowd is a very uneducated group. A good share of them are high school drop-outs.

Yeh, but they play presidents and stuff on TV. The left wing useful idiots think TV is real.

Fox is the only one I can watch without getting very angry (at the biased reporting). Media is a bunch of Leahys.

Card is my favorite conservative Mormon Democrat science fiction writer. What's wrong with this very solid article?

The Conservative movement is under attack in America. The pillars are being targeted one-by-one:

1. Rush Limbaugh - transparent and shameless attack by Florida Attorney General;

2. Air America - left-wing radio attack on Talk Radio;

3. ABC The Note - left-wing pathetic attack on Drudge;

4. Free Republic - transparent attack by Socialist Media to prevent fair use including threat of lawsuits;

5. FoxNews - transparent and shameless propaganda attack in Outfoxed movie;

6. Can Ann, Mark, Sean, et. al. be far behind?

Freepers, make a difference.

In every way, every day, do your part to help destroy American Media and the Democratic Party.

Just look at today's Sunday shows. Not one word about Joe Wilson being exposed (we knew it, but now it is documented) as a liar.

The mainstreams constantly try to contort situations to make it look like the Bush administration is lying, while they ignore the real lying going on by the left.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to detect their repugnant distaste for straight facts and the favor they bestow upon deceit and spin.

"Card is my favorite conservative Mormon Democrat science fiction writer. What's wrong with this very solid article? "

That's what I remember about him. He's a Democrat. Apparently a big Zell Miller fan.

Nothing's wrong with the article or with any of the twenty others that I missed on FR. Do a search and enjoy. (and I've read most of his books)

Powerful bias in media, Exhibit "A":

turns a great day in the WH into a bash Bush opportunity.

There's a guy around here with a Fox News ping list. He'd be interested in this, I'm sure.

Information on another CNN anchorette:

Another newcomer is the sprawling estate at Conyers Farm, a gated community in Greenwich that formerly was home to Rosie O'Donnell and is currently home to Ron Howard and Paula Zahn. The $53 million property has 80 rolling acres, a 22-stall stable, two apartments for grooms, a tack room and a commercial laundry facility.

Just wondering if she might be one of the former FOX employees they interviewed.

If you recall the media tried to give FL to Gore in 2000
VNS was a private consortium owned by
ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC.

All 5 of the networks and cable newsrooms "announced" Gore had won
BEFORE the 2nd time zone in FL had closed.
This cost President Bush votes in the FL panhandle.
I was at a friends house and the State of FL election website results showed President Bush was winning
WHILE the big 5 media TV and Cable newsrooms "announced their" winner.

The big 5 media TV and Cable newsrooms are the real threat to the 2004 election.

..."Early on Tuesday, November 7th 2000, TV stations and various media based in Florida reported that Gore has won Florida which was a big surprise for everyone because of strong republican support. Bush's brother Jeb is governor there and Florida usually gives support to the Republicans. Some of them questioned that and during the night CNN showed 52% Bush's lead over 46% for Gore. It is almost impossible to believe that media could have been that blind and biased to report Gore's victory."...

From time to time, I’ll post or ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. Let me know if you want off my list.

If you're not familiar with this author, he's a blue dog. I bookmarked a previous article from him in comment# 38.
