Axis Of Bias

Media: A major newspaper suppresses damning video of Barack Obama partying with pro-terrorism radicals. Meanwhile, Obama punishes news outlets that do their jobs. Fairness Doctrine anyone?

Los Angeles Times owner Sam Zell must have thought of the Chicago Cubs when he OK'd the layoff of 75 editorial employees this week. Zell owns the lovable loser Cubs, who haven't won the World Series in a century, and the liberal media are turning into the Cubs of modern communications.

But news-hungry consumers don't find it lovable when the media elite keep important stories to themselves. John McCain has demanded that the L.A. Times release its videotape of a 2003 farewell party in Chicago at which Obama is said to have grandly toasted guest of honor Rashid Khalidi, the late PLO head Yasser Arafat's spokesman. (Ex-terrorist Bill Ayers may have been there too.)

But the Times apparently doesn't think Americans are entitled to see Obama praising a terrorist mouthpiece before they decide whether to make him president for four years. Similarly, major news outlets buried this week's story of Obama calling for "major redistributive change" in a newly discovered 2001 radio interview.

Not nearly as bad as the “Axis of Weasels” will be if O’Bummer gets elected.

Sam Zell is from Chicago chances are slim the tape is released

He might have some problems doing business there.

“With both the executive and legislative branches firmly in the power of the most liberal leadership ever — Obama, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — it is naive to think they would not move against those who most threaten their prospects in the midterm elections of 2010. And that is Fox News and conservative talk radio, supported by the blogosphere.”

Wow, scariest part of the article.

I’m a former newsman myself. It’s the awful truth. Both print media and radio. The fall of the print media has been clear since I jumped ship way back in the spring of 1995, and there were plenty of signs of the media’s death even before. The reason for the media’s death is simple - most journalists are now advocates, and they advocate for the left, which means that they no longer reflect most American citizens and Americans aren’t interested in reading that they’re a bunch of racist Neanderthals for not accepting leftist dogma.

Here’s what I don’t understand about the conservative side of the aisle, which is the side where I live and the side that I love. Why don’t they fight with all their heart and guts? Yes, yes, we have Limbaugh and some others talking it up every day, but even many of them don’t really take it to the left with a true-believer bravado. The left has an impressive list of politicians willing to do anything for the cause, and a farm club system for bringing up new talent. The right is scattered, uncoordinated, and meek. What’s with that? Why does the Republican side of the aisle (which shouldn’t be confused with “conservative,” I understand) insist on running campaign after campaign as bipartisan, while the Democrats and the left are gleefully partisan? When I look at McCain, I’m at wit’s end. Palin has promise, but even she avoids the jugular when the vein is clearly displayed by the fallen adversary - and I say this as an Alaskan who has worked alongside Palin and know her personally.

The left is not willing to stop until we are destroyed. We seem willing to let them live for another day at every turn. This isn’t a comic where the good guys always survive and the bad guys skulk away to fight again in the next issue. The left, given a chance, would happily destroy the republic and live in a one-party dictatorship. Why are we being nice about it?

Yeah, I’m frustrated.
