This guy capsulizes the kind of Sixties arrogance and navel-gazing self-righteousness that's kept me pissed-off since at least 1965. Several times a year I have to restrain myself from driving to the Star plant in Ventura and pummeling this posturing fool severely around the face and chops.

After 9-11, for the first time since World War II, the media actually began acting in a slightly pro-American fashion. But of course it couldn't last very long with "patriots" like Gallagher on the job. Now, at the first possible excuse, he has to divest himself of any responsibility for saying or doing anything that might appear to be in the nation's best interests. So he's taking it all back and doing the unthinkable: blaming the media!!

I seldom bother with this rag but I need a painting contractor so I bought Sunday edition for the ads. I also wanted to check the reporting on the Freepers who conducted a pro-Administrtion demonstration this past weekend. (Next time holler - I'm in Camarillo and will show up with bells on!)

The "coverage" was just as I expected. It equivocated and gave both sides almost equal weight but tilted toward the anti-war rallies. Then, just below the main story, there was a sidebar hyping a big anti-war rally next weekend at the Ventura Pier sponsored by Citizens for Peaceful Resolutions, Not in Our Name and People in Black. I think we've heard of some of those organizations before. It's called "Hands Across the Pier." Go to www.c-p-r.net for more info (says the Star). Anyone up to a counter-protest? We could call it Middle Fingers Across the Pier. Or Traitors on the Other Side of the Pier, or something like that. I'm joking of course, but a theme would help.

I really dislike this guy and most of the people he hires to produce what is known locally by intelligent people as "The Red Star." Be respectful and logical when you email him, but by all means email him!!

The Left's first revision of history...

Ugly, ain't it?

Time for us to make history so hard and so fast they can't keep up, the liars.

Calm down. He's absolutely right, of course. The media never reported on all those pleas and chants and signs calling for the ouster of Hussein, for him to stop the torture, to leave the children alone, etc. Oh yessirree, the man is right on the money. How DARE the mainstream media focus entirely on A.N.S.W.E.R. being a Communist front. Makes you want to throttle Peter Jennings, don't it? :)

How dare the media give daily reports on the hundreds of millions that did not attend in the anti-war protests. What could they have been thinking showing footage after footage of pro-troops rallies?

Why would the media only give the low numbers by percentage of college students that have attended anti-war protest. Who cares if only an average of 1.2% of students attending schools that had protests showed up?

Why would the media choose not to show 5 days of footage of anti-war protest after each one - that happen every weekend?

And of course we are all glad to know the media has reported the omissions and manipulations of Hans Blix in his reports.

Good to see the repeated stories of Hussein's madness and lies, not to mention the many known ties between Iraq and France and Germany. Great reporting on the billions Russia, France and Germany have at stake in arms, oil and manufacturing sales to Iraq.

Iraq: No War for Oil?
France: ok.

what a joke

Thankfully America is waking up to these lies.

So either your pandering to a small and obviously wrong minority or you are biased.
