>> RWers keep harping on the media shit.......what liberal media are you talking about and how does it compare to RW media... The major networks carry about 20 minutes of news a night. It is interesting to me that left wing nutjobs can't quite see the bias in left wing media. Is there some genetic defect in leftwingers that makes you unable to be the least big objective? Why do you constantly ask for proof of something that everyone else thinks is apparent? When the three network news outlets allocated a TOTAL of 19 seconds of coverage to the recent lawsuit lodged by the Catholics. When Obama manages to get elected president without anyone being able to explain how an admitted drunk and drug user with no financial resources managed to get into Harvard and pay for its cost? And why his transcripts have never seen the light of day? Why Obama's affair was killed by the media after a single day's partial coverage? Why no media outlet except Fox News has disclosed that Obama's OWN bio claimed he was born in Kenya? It is ridiculous to suggest that the media is anything but absurdly biased in favor of Obama.

... the New York Times has now become an organ of leftist disinformation. It scrambles teams of reporters at any trace of scandal on the right, and ignores solid evidence of scandal on the left. It races to cover any sign of global warming, but drags its feet when warming alarmists are revealed to have fudged the facts. It plays down acts of violence and incivility by leftists while allowing columnists to imagine them in rightists. It assigns left-wing reviewers to review conservative books and movies — and assigns left-wing reviewers to review left-wing books and movies as well. It publishes Paul Krugman, who admits he has a lousy record of predicting economic outcomes but never ceases to be certain his exploded theories are correct, who blames violence on right-wing incivility without proof and indulges in left wing incivility also without proof, who claims Europe’s economy is doing great except that it’s failing because of “austerity” (there’s a laugh!), and who all in all will say anything whether it makes sense or not in order to support the death-dealing dead letter of socialism. (To give him his due, he did write a book called The Conscience of a Liberal, which sits next to Intelligent French Theories and Feminist Humor on my shelf of books so thin you can’t see them.) Crack team of New York Times reporters takes to the field. In other words, the New York Times trades on a reputation for solid reporting earned four decades ago to create a Matrix: a plausible imitation of reality that is wholly false. And there are people in New York (and even elsewhere possibly) who haven’t noticed the change and who still read this paper as if it were telling them the truth. They think that Reagan ruined this country and Obama is doing a great job. They think that human activity is causing the earth to hurtle to extinction. They think Mitt Romney is a mean man who doesn’t know anything — and Obama cares! But mostly what they think is that leftism is still liberal, that it is a bulwark against the sort of government oppression, censorship, racism and undeclared warfare that — well, that only leftists actually support. So my congratulations to the New York Times. It is the Bernie Madoff of information and for now at least, the Ponzi Scheme is still in play. http://pjmedia.com/andrewklavan/2012/05/29/the-bernie-madoff-of-information/?singlepage=true The NYT is the paper that leaked intelligence secrets of the war on terror when Bush was President. I have to wonder if they HOPED another big attack would happen so it would make Bush look bad?
