Also re Caddell on Dayside. -Even if they think it is true, it doesn't sit well with Americans. They are calling the President of the United States a liar......just what ARE they thinking.

Dem Pat Caddell was really upset about this: News media is a threat to our freedom by going past just reporting to actually trying to decide who will be prez. Exactly why most of us are spending a second of time on CBS and Dan Rather.....Media bias has become so blatent that the Democrats are openly talking about it.... About time ....Our very freedom is at risk.

Speaking of conflict of interest: Conflict of Interest? ..By John Gibson Monday, September 13, 2004 foxnews.com In this week's New Yorker magazine there’s a major piece by media writer Ken Auletta (search) on the Kerry campaign and why it seems to be losing wheels as it goes down the road. Auletta makes an interesting statement in the early parts of the piece: "Recently a number of former Clinton aides — among them James Carville (search), who was the Clinton campaign chief strategist in 1992 and Stanley Greenberg, who was Clinton's pollster that year — began helping out, many of them informally." Now this has been the subject of some discussion in the media business for a week or two because it has become obvious that Carville has either got his hands in the Kerry campaign directly, or is trying to use sidekick Paul Begala (search) to be his surrogate inside the Kerry campaign. Fine. They can do what they want. Good for both of them. I don't know Carville, but I used to know Begala at another network. He’s a nice enough guy despite his politics. But here’s my question: Is the Columbia School of Journalism pestering CNN about why two hosts of a show on politics are actually working on the campaign of a candidate? If Tucker Carlson were working for the campaign of George Bush would CNN make him quit? My guess is yes. So how is it James and Paul get a pass?
