The hard-left hootenanny known as the "National Conference on Media Reform," -- usually ahem, distinguished by a long Bill Moyers rant about the media being saps for the neoconservative war machine -- has a new star this year: Dan Rather. The former CBS anchor will join Moyers, Arianna Huffington, Katrina Vanden Heuvel and Pacifica's Amy Goodman in calling for courageous, independent (read: radical left) journalism, free of corporate cowardice, from June 6 to 8 in Minneapolis.
Former UPI reporter Helen Thomas is also hitting the left-wing hustings, this very weekend, in fact. She is a keynote speaker at the Women, Action & Media (WAM!) Conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts, sponsored by a group called the Center for New Words and the Women's Studies program at MIT. Leftist sponsors also include the sites Alternet, Feminist.com, the Feministing blog, and the magazines Bitch, Dollars and Sense, and In These Times.

March 27, 2008 - 08:52 ET by motherbeltI'm sick and tired of the left claiming that we have all thes serious
problems and people are worried about what Obama's pastor said in a
sermon.
And they create a "Center for New Words"????? HUH????
What are they doing: creating more words like "womyn" and "herstory"? How about "HISteryia"? or maybe "herspanic"???
Don't these people have anything better to do with their time?
Sheesh.

Firestorm
March 27, 2008 - 11:05 ET by KC MulvilleToo many fires accelerate each other, and the result is a horrific firestorm. Now this report shows a cauldron of fire-breathing liberals in one place. It's certain to produce ever-worse stupidity, as each liberal tries to out-stupid each other. It'll be a firestorm against reason and reality.
If you have any logicians nearby who need torturing, send them to these "conferences."
Hypocrites
March 27, 2008 - 13:33 ET by iveseenitallSpitting, lying, hypocritical old farts. Thomas and Rather just can't give up the piggy bank which is their left-wing friends. Someone get the hook for these losers--please! But wait, now lying is just being "human" according to the Clinton camp. I seem to recall a couple of Presidents (Nixon and Bush)from whom they couldn't brook the truth and so condemned it as "lying". Hypocrites all.
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"
Psst: Take your kids to the Trinity Church in Chicago so they can learn the Obama brand of "patriotism". Buy the tapes at the door. Go home and sit with them around the fireplace and listen, over and over again--- "God DAMN America", "God DAMN America". Take them to this place for the next 20 years. Afterall, one of them many be President of America some day.
What - no "National Review" presence?
March 27, 2008 - 14:08 ET by Gary HallWhat - no "National Review" presence? Well, let's hope that they at least let someone balanced like Kieth Olbermann in?
Damn - Olberman might actually appear balanced compared to some of the speakers on the agenda.
