Rod Paige gets ignored by the media. This from another black blogger, "Ramblings Journal." Paige blasts NAACP over comments Rod Paige, the present Secretary of Education, and a black son of Mississippi, condemned comments by the NAACP leadership about conservatives in general, and black conservatives in particular this week. "You do not own, and you are not the arbiters of, African-American authenticity," said Paige, who rose from segregated Mississippi to become President Bush's education chief. Paige took aim at two NAACP leaders, chairman Julian Bond and president Kweisi Mfume, for what he called "hateful and untruthful rhetoric about Republicans and President Bush." At the convention, NAACP officials have described some black organizations as mouthpieces of white conservatives and have said Bush's education law disproportionately hurts minorities. And to show just how much or how little the NAACP is the be-all, end-all for black thought, President Bush will be speaking before the Urban League at their conference next week. Of course, the alphabet networks will conveniently ignore that, won't they? mhking.mu.nu

Stopped reading the Times years ago because of their extreme liberal view on damn near everything - even sports. This Kinsley article is a start. Personally, I will be surprised if there is much else of consequence. Example of bias and poor investigative reporting - Front page coverage for several days about Arnold's "alledged" abuse of Hollywood stunt women etc. during the run up to governor's election. Case was recently dismissed/thrown out of court. A couple days after the dismissal the Times prints a small byline on page 6. BTW, the Times held their initial reporting of this matter until just before the election in a naked effort to bias the voter into supporting Davis or his Lt. Governor. Yeah, I know. It's the "charge", not the accuracy of the "charge".
