Fox News. . . also makes liberals look ineffectual, unappealing and wimpy.
Well, if the shoe fits. . .

I think the headline should read:
Arrogant, biased media harms democracy.

The headline should read, "Media Bias Rampant - This Article Proof"
To: Huntress
The solution is for us all to simply believe the likes of Dan Rather, Peter Jennings and Tom Blokaw?

Yeah, I should have added that to the title. Is there a way do that once the article has been posted?

I guess someone forgot to tell Leftie Lewis that the President of News Corp endorsed Kerry.

They do not like FOX not because FOX is biased but because they are not Dem party-line shrills like themselves. Their monopoly is fading fast.

More accurate headline choices:
"Untrustworthiness of media harms democracy"
"Media bias harms democracy"
"Journalistic malpractice harms democracy"

Trust in the media is not warranted. Lack of trust is logical, and the only way democracy can survive.

Lewis W. Diuguid is a member of The Star's Editorial Board. I wonder if Mr. Diuguid expects me to think that he is objective? There is no need to wonder if Mr. Diuguid thinks that I am objective; I don't even claim that myself. I am a conservative, and a Republican. But the fact that Mr. Diuguid thinks that journalism is objective and, I make no doubt at all, that he himself is objective would prove that he is a propagandist.
There can be no objectivity apart from wisdom. To claim to be objective is to claim to be wise - and to claim to be wise is to be contemptuous of facts or logic.

So did articles linking the terrorist attacks, Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida to Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Stories that challenged that information ran on the back pages of newspapers, if at all. Um, Richar Clarke's statement Osama would "boogie" to Baghdad?

This is from "The Onion" right? This sounds like the speech from the editor of the Los Angeles Times a while back. In fact, it sounds a lot like Kerry speeches of late. Those nasty conservatives are questioning me.
To: Huntress
“Public attitudes about the press have been declining for nearly 20 years,” the report said. “Americans think journalists are sloppier, less professional, less moral, less caring, more biased, less honest about their mistakes and generally more harmful to democracy than they did in the 1980s.” And I didn't trust the media even in the 80s . . .
To: Huntress
The film also pointed out how Fox “journalists” use the manipulative phrase “some say” to inject opinions into the news. Come on now, Lewis. Have you ever watched Katie Couric, Leslie Stahl, Tim Russert, et al? Give me a break, you weasly liberal puke.

The lamestream media greased the path for my journey to the right wing around 1976 and for that, at any rate, I am eternally grateful.
