Crawford, Texas -- The guest speakers at a White House economic forum to be held near President's Bush ranch next week include executives of major corporate donors to the Republican Party and a labor leader whom the administration is courting for his support in the 2004 presidential campaign.

"All the bias that's fit to print"

[eureka!]

Seriously. I guess W should invite a bunch of 'Rat donors. Maybe have Dasshole, Gephardt, Grifter 97 speak too. Sheesh...

[eureka!]

BTW, just noticed this article originated from the Clymers at the Grey Whore aka Fishwrap of Record. Some Clymette named Elisabeth Bulmiller...

Is this news or Op-Ed??? Gee...

Let's see, 3 out of 8 guest speakers gave solely to the GOP. Another speaker is a union guy who has supported Dims in the past. But, we know through telepathy that those big meanies Bush and Cheney are just trying to draw him over to the dark side. And, who are the other 4 guest speakers? The other 196 invited guests? Oh, there could not possibly be anyone invited from the left. Let's just pick 2% of a population to focus on as representative of this nasty GOP, right wing conclave. When NYT libs and Dim confederates do a GOP/Bush hit piece, facts just get in the way. Fairness and balance do not enter into the equation. Bernard Goldberg should be writing his sequal.

three of eight guest speakers

That "of eight" is the only thing that keeps the whole piece from being completely absurd.

More than 200 people are attending, and the Times scratches and digs until it can come with something on three of them.

And here's the best they can come up with: these 3 donated to the Republicans.

Oh horrors! People donate to the Republicans? Shocking!

"It's purely political, purely PR," said Bruce Bartlett, a conservative economist who worked in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and the elder George Bush.

Well of course it is, moron. What's the alternative? That these people will actually make policy? That's against the law, in case you missed Hillary's Health Care debacle.

I suppose a better idea would be for a bunch of nincompoops to sit around, "town hall style", and discuss their feelings with Ted Koppel.

bump.

And, as we all know...Bill Klinton used GOP donors EXCLUSIVELY...to keep any appearance of bias at bay...

Hey, NYT losers...guess what...the (R)'s WON, and therefore can USE WHO THEY WANT!
Just like your humjob hero did, and that shrill B!TCH of a wife of his!

Gee I guess this proves that Ann Coulter was completely wrong...ther is NO bias in the media....NOT!
