"before erupting in her familiar cackle" - If NewsMax wants to be taken seriously outside of the Conservative movement - i.e. preaching to the choir - and convert moderates - using such descriptive language only tends to isolate Newsmax and paints them as joke of a news service to the mainstream (and to some on the non neocon right not used to the mocking words that the former Red Diaper sect grew up on and were influenced by during their time as part of the Left).

Oh, so you are then okay with how the "other" media outlets do their reporting.

Here's just a recent example:

Today, former presidents Bush and Clinton were guests on CNN. It was a nice interview, about Tsunami Relief, with both Bush and Clinton being friendly and gracious. (I did notice Clinton copied Bush's body language... nodding his head left and right, looking to the side, squinting his eyes...)

Then, just as the segment was over, the interviewer said. "We only have a moment left, so President Bush, have you seen the story about telephone calls being taped of your son? Were you aware of this story?"

Former Pres. Bush was a bit stunned, by this last minute attack, of course. The camera was zoomed out, and there was Bill Clinton with a "I feel your pain!" grimace, as he reached out to pat Bush's thigh in sympathy.

This is the kind of MEDIA attack we the PEOPLE are sick of!!!

And to Carl of Newsmax's credit...

Hillary DOES cackle.
