Morris is dreaming if he thinks the mainstream media will examine and correct their bias reporting. This is their sole agenda - attack this President, his administration, and policies - regardless of cost.

The media need to examine their own bias and correct it, lest still more readers and viewers turn away in the face of their obvious manipulation of public opinion.

Too late! Heck - even the airport now has FOX news...

I canceled TIME when they ran their first attack on the RKBA with a cover full of suicide victims.

Um Dick, the liberals in the media are not going to examine their own bias and correct it.

I live by a few journalists; they are total nutjobs and weird; complete liberal wackos who were probably picked on in high school.

Most journalists are just plain angry people; look at how that reportette from the NY Slimes attacked Scott McCellan yesterday. They are just angry slime.

We are watching the media commit suicide. Wonder what they're planning on doing for a living after they kill the mainstream media jobs?

Memo to Dicky Morris:

It's NOT the "media elite" lambkins. It's the media DREGS.

We out here in flyover country know when we're looking at 10 lbs of sh*t in a 5 lb bag. Are you just catching on?

What we need is a high profile, trusted figure to raise the issue of liberal bias and spearhead a campaign to put those organizations out of business. Canceling subscriptions, publically calling to task the offenders, calling for resignations, and mass actions like petitions and email campaigns would be the tools.

If George Allen did this, combined with his stance on the illegal immigration issue, he'd be a shoo-in for President in 2008.

Contacting and boycotting advertisers would be effective as well.

Based on the sample I can recall, that is too accurate for (their) comfort. Two of them in particular led me to the conclusion that there was some sort of "Goebbels Syndrome" in action.

But when a Republican president is waging a war of which the left does not approve, a different journalistic standard appears to apply

This sentence needs revising:

But when a Republican is president a different journalistic standard appears to apply.

Much better.

This is the same media that fawned all over President Reagan when he died, after realizing they had to cash in on the overwhelming support and love shown for the former President. They HATED the man when he was in office.

Some day when President Bush passes away and if there is even a close semblance to the outpouring of love for him, these same hacks will speak in their soft tones about how he was so adored and loved.

The media truly suck balls.

Michael Issakof was on As It Happens last night. He blamed the foul up on the Pentagon. They were given a chance to review the story, and commented on some other part. The Pentagon didn't even deny the toilet flushing.

No repentance or sorrow on the part of Issakof. As It Happens is available over the internet from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It makes our PBS seem conservative, it is often used by US politicians to fly trial balloons.

In fact, in all the years of the Clinton presidency, I cannot recall a single instance of a similarly inaccurate high-profile story attacking the Democratic president.

This article is very good. Morris remembers that era correctly.

Right on Dick.

The MSM can kick and scream all they want but their stupidity and ignorant left wing bias out weighs their ability to make the correct decisions when it comes to publishing fair and balanced news.

For the left this is a SNAFU that has become a regular part of of their operating procedures.
