IS THE ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA BIASED against conservatives? Dan Rather remains in the anchor chair at the CBS Evening News despite his involvement in recent news stories based on dishonest reporting, fabricated documents and even Internet gossip falsely alleging that President George W. Bush secretly intends to begin the military conscription of students. These stories were obviously designed to damage Mr. Bush in the final weeks before a national election.
And now ABC News has left in place its Political Director Mark Halperin. ABC has done this despite the networks acknowledgement that Halperin wrote a memo that to many seems to direct ABC reporters, anchors and producers to slant its coverage by downplaying the misstatements of Democratic presidential candidate Senator John Kerry and by viewing negatively any misstatements by Republican candidate Bush.
Halperins directive reached ABC people on October 8, the very day that ABC Good Morning America co-host Charlie Gibson would be selecting questions for and moderating the second presidential debate between Bush and Kerry. Did Halperin intend to influence Gibsons decisions in this debate?
Who is Mark Halperin, and does his memo reflect leftwing bias in his shaping of the news at ABC? To find answers to these questions, we need to consider the details of this memo-gate controversy in the light of Halperins past and of the famous radical left-wing father who shaped his political values. As we shall discover, Halperin has veered Left and crossed the line of ethical journalism many times.

Holy Cow bump!!
This needs to get out. Has Rush mentioned it?
Sure explains the dirty journalism and prejudices against the prez and conservatism in general. And plus the Soros link surfaces. Very interesting!
Rush on his lesbian kick today. Maybe tomorrow we'll get to a serious indictment of the america hating media and their biases.
Wow - they are all in bed with each other - no wonder the saying that politics makes for strange -
To think that a foreigner could have this much influence in this nation and get away with it -
Just a shame it has gotten this far -
Well, I'm glad he posted it. It's the first I've heard of it.
Oh, it's worth millions to expose Big Betty. She can hide, but she sure can't run.
I sent it to Brit and Drudge. Don't know how to e-mail Rush.
I'm gonna send it to laura ingraham!
bump
I searched before I posted, and it didn't show..second time it's done that
Trouble is that it took nearly all three hours. Or at least it seemed that way to me. I was in and out of my car and every time I got back in there it was again.
This election has served to reveal a clearer picture of the 'rats, who they are, what they want, and what they're willing to do to get into power. It's really been enlightening.
Yikes!
ping everyone you can think of.
This spells out, in detail, how the ABC News Director has extreme liberal bias.
The part at the end of the article...about dodging Bill O's interview is telling.
I remember the piece written in The Note....did not know his was the guy.
So Mark is a "red diaper doper baby."
THIS IS GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!! got to email everyone that will check it out
gee, Morton Halperin and Richard Kerry seems to have held alot of the same views...I wonder if they knew eachother?
This stuff coming out of Front Page is stunning. Looks like Soros hoodwinked McCain and Feingold, they have made a mockery out of that campaign finance law. I got an appeal from Bush this week asserting that they have spent $500 million. They're a bunch of totalitarians, I think.
