LA Times's Agenda Revealed: Keep Yesterday's "Grope" Story on Front Page for Second Day
LA Times ^

Posted on 10/03/2003 12:36:33 PM PDT by GulliverSwift

On their front page, they've done the unprecedented step of keeping the same headline for two days. On the front page it says, "Women Say Schwarzenegger Groped Them," and the story is the same as yesterday, and dated from yesterday.

Why would they do this? .. . . . . . . do I have to ask?

They're on Gray Devil's pay role.

It'll probably be the headline on all of their editions until Wednesday morning...

Smells like desperation.

LA Times agenda exposed...again, again, and again.

This time though, it is so blantently obvious that people are now seeing the truth about their bias. This could be the best thing the LA Times could do, to discredit itself.

Because that's all the Times has on Arnold.

Here's the Recall section on the front page, for the record. I don't think reproducing these headlines here violates FR policy regarding the LAT. Note that they manage to put a negative slant on ALL THREE of the stories about Arnold:


U.S. Businesses Add Jobs for First Time in 8 Months

A survey of U.S. companies showed a net increase of 57,000 jobs last month in wide-ranging industries. VIDEO

The Recall Campaign
Hopefuls Press Ahead With Race

Schwarzenegger continues bus tour one day after a Times report that cited allegations by six women of sexual misconduct.

• Schwarzenegger Says He 'Behaved Badly'

• Women Say Schwarzenegger Groped Them

• Bustamante Lacking Stage Presence

• Complete Coverage | Faces of the Recall

They'll take it off when they realize its boosting Arnold's poll numbers.

Next big story: Arnold is the product of Nazi eugenics.

Too bad the LA Times couldn't have displayed the same attitude towards Bubba Clintoon and Bob Packwood rather than turn the paper's back with a "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Neither jerks would have survived politically very long.

Take a look at the Bustamonte article right below it on the front page. It almost reads like something bought and paid for by the Bustamonte campaign. It's something that belongs on the opinion pages not the news pages. The contrast in tone is amazing. Reading the article about Bustamonte makes me believe that the LA Times has now tossed in the towel in their effort to stop the recall and have now started to throw their support behind Bustamonte. Time will tell.

Also the article you mention is only one of several attacking Arnold in the current edition.

Click on the LA Times sight above and go to the editorial page. They have one of the most viscous and ugly smear pieces on Arnold, the likes of which I have ever seen. The Dems and their media puppets are truly desperate and despicable.

Because that's all the Times has on Arnold.

I was earlier thinking 'Is that the best they can do?'. This is a clear indication that Davis and company has lost it. They can't even dig up decent dirt any more.

Apple-Pie Eugenics
War Against the Weak

http://www.pfm.org/BPtemplate.cfm?Section=BreakPoint_Home&Template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=10517

BreakPoint with Charles Colson

October 2, 2003

See if you can guess the source of this quote. “It is better for all the world … [if] society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind … Three generations of imbeciles is enough.”

If you think that this quote came from a Nazi document, you’re wrong. It’s from Oliver Wendell Holmes’s 1927 majority opinion in Buck v. Bell that upheld a Virginia law mandating the sterilization of the “feebleminded.”
Twenty years later, Holmes’s words were thrown back in our face by Nazi defendants in the Nuremberg trials. You see, while the Nazis’ worst crimes may have ended at Auschwitz, they “began on Long Island .”

That’s the conclusion of a new book, War against the Weak: Eugenics and America’s Campaign to Create a Master Race written by Edwin Black, who contends that American “corporate philanthropies helped found and fund the Nazi eugenics of Hitler and Mengele.”

Eugenics, which literally means “good birth,” originally referred to the use of selective breeding to “improve” the human race. Of course, what was meant by “improve” reflected the racism and bigotry of the eugenicists. Blacks, Jews, Eastern and Southern Europeans, the retarded, and even people with brown hair were the targets of the “improvers.”

Thus, between 1900 and the mid-sixties, “hundreds of thousands of Americans … were not permitted to continue their families by reproducing.” Black compares it to “ethnic cleansing,” and he’s right.

The tools of American eugenics included forcible sterilization, commitment to mental institutions, prohibitions against marriage, and even dissolution of already existing marriages. One Michigan legislator went so far as to introduce a bill calling for the electrocution of severely retarded infants.

Eventually, American eugenics, with help from the Carnegie Institution, the Rockefeller Foundation, Margaret Sanger, and others, found its way to Germany. While “Nazi eugenics quickly outpaced American eugenics in both velocity and ferocity,” Black writes, the connection between the two was never lost. As one American eugenicist told the Richmond Times-Dispatch, “the Germans are beating us at our own game.”

The Holocaust and other crimes of the Third Reich made eugenics a bad word, and the American connection was quickly swept under the rug. But the attempt to play God “never really stopped.”

Today it takes the form of “human genomic science and corporate globalization.” Instead of racist declarations, we have “polished PR campaigns” that hold out the promises of biotech: miracle cures and ever-increasing life expectancies.

While the word eugenics is never used, that’s what it is. We are intent on eliminating “imperfection” from the gene pool. Even today, children whose “deformities” are discovered in utero are rarely permitted to be born. And as genetic technology improves, the list of those whom Black calls the “never-born” will continue to expand.

If the “abolition of man” is to be stopped, this story must be told. Christians need to pull the truth about eugenics out from underneath the rug and hold it up as a reminder of where playing God leads us. Six decades of denial is enough.
