The faculty "position" here ranges from accusing the news media of being sloppy to accusing the media of being conservative by definition, becuase all sources save NPR are corporate-owned.
My daughter is Producer of the feature weekly 60 minute news magazine on her college TV station (among other radio stuff). The show discusses a weekly "topic" of interest to the Unviersity and local community. As her policy she presents facts and truth, and balanced opinion (one on either side) of the meaning of the facts and truth.
The faculty advisor for the show regularly attempts to reject her "speakers" as BOTH being too conservative.
She does what she wants anyway and show ratings have doubled under her tenure, which is always her defense when the faculty/student board reviews her work.
A very senior correspondent for a major news organization (graduate of this institution) visited for a lecture, and took daughter to dinner (and spent significant time coaching her).
His analysis of the situation? She is doing great work; she should continue to learn; she should enter the industry, but be prepared to fight HER ENTIRE CAREER for truth.
He told her she and a few others like her that he knows of are the future of media ethics, and that their time is coming soon.
Also told the Dean this faculty advisor should be moved to another assignment.
Daughter and her friends (very bright, both politcal stripes) plan to sit in her room with the door locked and watch and learn Nov. 2.
The only think C(BS) learned is that they must make better
FAKES.
(Rush: did mary mapes make the fakes?)
Can"t Believe Squat!
I suspect the AP lies more often. The difference is that we assume the AP is "just the facts" and accept what they send on the wire to all the papers that buy their service. Mostly they print leftis press releases verbatim, especially those from government funded programs that try to justify their own existence by startling revelations of junk science, or junk statistics.
Is there a qualitative difference between a few BIG lies and many SMALL lies?
I agree that he'd never say never. My suggestion, though, would be more along the lines of what you are saying PLUS "there is no need to resurrect the draft. We've gotten this far without it." If he just gives your answer, it will only fuel speculation like that which Kerry is trying to fuel. "At this time..." The voters don't want to hear that.

Since Liberals live or die by lies. If one lie or the liar that tells it gets caught, they merely send a new liar with a new lie into the game. Nothing new-same old game plan.
.srotiart tsinummoC Now dyslexic's will know what you were saying.
Couldn't reverse that darn "C".
Most of the cable providers in N. California and S Oregon where I stay overnight on my fly fishing trips, don't have Fox News available inspite of many motel owners/managers asking for it.One thing about those liberals. They sure do believe in free speech, don't they.
They figured we'd get numb and would start accepting it as being as "natural as homosexuals marrying..."
Let them run it. It'll become a "real life" SNL.
"One thing about those liberals. They sure do believe in free speech, don't they."
Then, when a conservative cancels his/her cable account and goes to a satellite system to get Fox News, we get labeled as right wing censors by those liberals and the ones we know.
OH this is so good.....it needs to be echoed from the mountain tops for the next few weeks!!!!!!!!
Sure they can - and how many times over the last couple decades have they done it before...???
They're probably like a mad Badger - will bite their leg off to fight out of a trap.
Like anyone's gonna believe it now...
The Newsweek story is bogus. They claim that CBS decided at the last minute to air the National Guard story, which is not true -- Barnes' appearance on 60 Minutes II was announced a week before it aired.
Get your jammies on... |
Like anyone's gonna believe it now...
Have a little faith. I believe Dan has convinced CBS to go out with a bang rather than a whimper. I'm betting on Dan breaking the story on election eve (complete with photos) of President Bush's illegitimate alien love child.
lying marxists.
Liberal Democrats are using the Marxist propoganda of lies
very ineffectively for once.
I'm certain you are proud of her abilities - good for you all!!
