The Hubris of the NY Times!
continues to amaze, even as it fails to surprise. In this story about political bias in media, the Times focuses on biased old Fox News.
Does anyone not believe that Fox is not biased? No. Is it news that the network is conservative? No. End of story. This is a do-bites man story. I will not hold my breath waiting for the Times to write about the bias in its own pages.

Hollywood Gives MSM the Big Pushhttp://www.laweekly.com/ink/05/39/deadline-finke.php
In an interesting comment on how the mighty have fallen, Hollywood is now pulling it's ad money from print dinosaurs. How long can the NYT survive when the Hollywood ad$ dries up?
"Hollywood is about to deliver bad news to the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times and, to a lesser extent, other big-city dailies around the country. Every major movie studio is rethinking its reliably humongous display ad buys in those papers because those newsosaur readers are, to quote one mogul, “older and elitist” compared to younger, low-brow filmgoers — so it makes no sense to waste the dough."

CINDY UNLEASHED: 'THE BIGGEST TERRORIST IN THE WORLD IS GEORGE W. BUSH'

"We are not waging a war on terror in this country. We’re waging a war of terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush!"
So declared Cindy Sheehan earlier this year during a rally at San Francisco State University.
Sheehan, who is demanding a second meeting with Bush, stated: "We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now."
Sheehan unleashed a foul-mouth tirade on April 27, 2005:
"They’re a bunch of fucking hypocrites! And we need to, we just need to rise up..." Sheehan said of the Bush administration.
Sheehan Goes Over the Top
Far be it from me to lack empathy for a woman who has lost her only son to the war. That empathy does not mean I must take her seriously. She strikes me as dangerously unhinged and losing a son to war does not give you higher perceptions about policy. The MSM has latched onto someone they hope will do better than Kerry in brining Bush down. Who elected her anything?
People keep saying this war is like Vietnam. I am finally seeing the similarity: protest gets more attention than military matters, except for combat deaths. If they tell us long enough that we are losing, we will.

"If George Bush believes his rhetoric and his bullshit, that this is a war for freedom and democracy, that he is spreading freedom and democracy, does he think every person he kills makes Iraq more free?"
"The whole world is damaged. Our humanity is damaged. If he thinks that it’s so important for Iraq to have a U.S.-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he needs to sign up his two little party-animal girls. They need to go to this war."
"We want our country back and, if we have to impeach everybody from George Bush down to the person who picks up dog shit in Washington, we will impeach all those people."
