BIG BUMP

One moment you suspect it’s a very deliberate untruth, and the next you find yourself wondering how such an intelligent man ever became so deluded that he could make this statement and think it was true

Look up: Soviet Union News Media

We are determined to keep our coverage of the news -- especially an election campaign -- fair, unbiased and nonpartisan.”

Sure, of course we believe you. What ever made you think we thought otherwise ?

No specifics to this J'accuse. Pathetic. The Post did a good job on reporting the Swift boat story, and an excellent one on Rathergate. The Post does a good job in separating its editorials from its news pagaes, just the the Wall Street Journal does, and in the case of the Post, its editorials tend to be only somewhat center left. It ain't the New York Times - - at all.

Did you see that interview on C-span where all the MSM major anchors had a sit down and discussed their fairness in this same fashion.

If I recall, this was right after they had been polled and we discovered that 10 of 11 were Kerry supporters. I believe this was when Franken was drunk and in the audience.

They all claimed how hard they worked to be fair and just. It was the biggest joke I have ever seen.

They even mentioned the terrible E-mails they got from uninformed people who just did not understand.

"Requiescat in fracta''

Is this "Rest in Pieces" rather than "Rest in Peace (Requiescat in Pace) "

If that were to happen, Kerry would rue the day he entered the White House.

He is too stupid to avoid a scandal ridden admin and it would be a huge disappointment.

But I hate to pretend.

Can't agree with you there. As Carrington pointed out, The Post completely refused to cover the Swift Vets for more than 2 months. That's pretty specific, and pretty difficult to defend on the merits.

That said, I agree that The Post did a decent job on the 60 Minutes forged documents scandal, and that Dobbs did do very one good article on the Kerry Bay Hap incident. That might raise their overall Swift grade to a "D", but hardly to the level of a "good job."

Yep. Nice touch, that. My favorite Latin motto is still the one from the Addams Family:

Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc -- We gladly feast on those who would subdue us

I've always thought that would work pretty well for FR.

I missed that reference on the first pass. Recently I was interviewed by a WSJ "news" reporter for an article on the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. He flatly misrepresented what I told him, and the article itself was a complete puff piece that failed to ever suggest the possibility that the VVAW's war crimes allegations might have been a tad exaggerated. Although the reporter referred obliquely to the site I manage on the topic, WinterSoldier.com, he was careful not to name it in the article, presumably lest his readers go there and learn the facts he was trying to conceal. It was a dismally poor excuse for journalism, and they ran it, as news, right on the front page.
