It goes without saying that the legacy media is ignoring this.

And I'm doubting that this information is any surprise to those of us not relying on that media. *sigh*

Yes, it's pathetic- I have trouble accepting the idea that any group of so-called "professionals" can be so blinded by their agendas. How do they face themselves in the mirror each morning?

The story about ABC's memo has been all over the place since last night, to drive home the point about these characters being hopelessly biased.

I haven't watched network "news" for over years now. If more people would do the same, they would have to change or die.

I gotcha- I quit the MSM during the Lewinsky/impeachment circus, although I had borne a grudge against them since Goldwater & that Daisy slander, err, I mean "ad."

Running-dog lackeys, nearly every one of them.

Think Marc Rich.

The money to Clinton/Gore would have been transmitted through some one like Rich. He has corporations with corporations with corporations that are at somepoint owned by a corporation that pays the American politicos.

Marc Rich plundered the Russian aluminum industry and Hillary is living in the proceeds.

Did Claudia Rosset have an article yesterday in some on-line publication? If so, do you know what it was?

I was the one who got your post pulled.

It seems IBD has complained to Jim_Rob and so now we have to only post small excerpts from their online site. It's a real shame, but I guess we have no choice but to live with it.

The good news is that they are allowing the public to view their editorials for 24 hours.

I share your sentiments. The handwriting was on the wall several years ago when Jim_Rob chose not to appeal the lawsuit.

I don't blame him - I would have done the same no doubt.

Recently I discovered that several news outlets will not even allow excerpts to be posted here on FR. Florida Today and Army Times for two. That's probably illegal, but WTFDIK?

It's been a great run, but FR will be nothing but a chat room in a few years if that keeps up.
