"...worse than all that was Rather's ten-day denial of reality, culminating in the surreal half-admission that the phony documents could not be verified as accurate. That's the equivalent of saying that a corpse cannot be proven to be alive."

Great stuff!

The Fall: A bankrupt generation is fading away.

That was the full title of the article. I've been thinking this but it takes guts to put it in print.

Must read..!

I think that VDH is remiss in leaving out the role of Ms. Mapes, who is not of Rather's generation but who is a major power behind the throne in this little escapade.

It was she who pursued this story for five years, and she who attempted the journalistically-verboten coordination of the "news" story with the Kerry campaign. Yes, Rather must take his lumps for his part in this, but these invisible functionaries who run around setting these stories up are a big part of what's wrong with the media. This woman's father as much as said that she went into journalism not to speak truth, but to proclaim it — as she saw it with her thoroughly leftist bent.

The alphabet networks, the AP, and the New York Times are crawling with these cockroaches. The media can't get rid of them fast enough to clean up their act; no matter which "rising star" they turn to, the odds are it's another leftist cockroach like Ms. Mapes. They've been hiring their own kind for so long that there's no other kind left.

This is the article to read on the media..Terrific.

VDH doesn't leave Dan the Man a fig leaf to hide behind, and beautifully said, as always.

This man never disappoints. Can you imagine being blessed enough to have Mr. Hanson as your teacher?

[randita]

Great take by Hanson. There does seem to be a current of "don't judge us on results, judge us on intentions" and " don't judge us on what we do personally, judge us on our stand on the issues" running through the liberal establishment.

I think the divide is more than ever one of the religious and the non-religious. It would be interesting to see someone really explore this phenomena. I heard a poll result last week saying that 62% of Bush supporters call themselves religious, whereas an equivalent % of Kerry voters call themselves non-religious. That is an important trend, if true, and would explain an awful lot.

the Democrats may soon lose the Senate, the House, the presidency, and the Supreme Court,

That has such a nice ring to it.

[ride the whirlwind]

...but millions of Americans learned long ago that there are probably more liberals on Fox than conservatives on PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, and NBC combined — and the former are honest about politics in a way the latter are not.

Wow, that really sums it up nicely.

VDH Bump!

Magnolia, you might enjoy this.

Oh, this is going into a poster outside my office door:
