I'll say that a significant percentage of the attendees at the Boston thing, if hooked up to a good polygraph, could say these things w/o indicating deception. Maybe 30%. Maybe more. And they believe Moore's Beavis cartoon stuff is true, too. They are sentient beings only in the looseest sense.

Joe Klein states that "the great partisan divide is 'possibly a media-induced mirage.'" If Klein is right, we all need to clear our vision and stop "seeing through a glass darkly." The war and the economy reporting should be given intense scrutiny for actual facts and not spurious flow of words by uninformed, would-be journalists. Klein calls them, and rightly so, "BLABOCRATS."

Oh, yeah. Like Clintonoid Klein ('Great leaders have more interesting sexual histories') isn't one of them.

I had never even heard of The Chattanoogan until this thread but I stopped reading the Free Press two years ago because of the bias. They were always sticking the anti-Bush articles on the front page. I would occasionally find something good inside but I'm pretty sensitive to Bush bashing and finally gave it up. I don't like starting my day off mad. I'm sure it's not as bad as some of the others mentioned in here at times.

Our local paper, The Cleveland Daily Banner, is not much of a paper but they seem to be a little more balanced. You see the usual AP biased article but not as much. If a Bush-bashing editorial comes out, the locals usually bombard them with angry rebuttals. :-)

It's a constant theme over at DU. They even signed a letter en masse to CNN expressing outrage over the "bias".

Who in the world is this woman!?!?!?!?! Why should we care what this ignoramous has to think?!?!?!?

I don't know, but I couldn't find her in the phone book (not that I'd look or anything). Probably a screen name. :)

yes, Chattanooga has its share of leftists, and a bunch of them seem to write repeated letters-to-the-editor bashing the right. Its funny - the DNC talking points come out, and each week, 2 or 3 of them write very similar letters touting the same story. Most of these letters seem to be written by the same 20-30 people.
