While members of "mainstream media" have eagerly covered Ann Coulter’s use of an vulgar term at a conservative conference, HBO host Bill Maher’s obnoxious comment about the Vice President, that "more people would live" if Dick Cheney had been assassinated, drew only sparse attention from the press.
Commenting on the diversity of the 2008 Democratic contenders, MSNBC host Contessa Brewer remarked of Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, "It’s sort of like we’re rooting for everybody all at once."
NBC used the conviction of Lewis "Scooter" Libby as a platform to attack the Vice President. Reporter Andrea Mitchell noted on "Today" that some critics refer to Cheney as "the Darth Vader of the Bush White House." Chris Matthews, in an extended rant, parroted prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s line about the "cloud" hanging over the VP.
The women on ABC’s "The View," who can always be counted on for reasoned debate, also discussed the case and Dick Cheney’s "treason."
While NBC and ABC bashed Cheney, CNN hammered the President. The cable network gleefully noted that the "impeach Bush" movement is "spreading like wildfire."
And on the subject of religion, according to a segment on the "Today" show, if Jesus were around in modern times, he’d be a "radical feminist."

March 9, 2007 - 09:39 ET by sarcasmoAnd the biased news media, as well as literally all-but-one NewsBuster, never-even-noted the screamingly-obvious fact that the vulgar-pundit's generous C-Span time slot came at the expense of actual -- albeit non-media-coronated because they seem to really believe in smaller government -- Republican Presidential candidates like Paul & Tancredo...

After a busy morning posting
March 9, 2007 - 09:46 ET by old croAfter a busy morning posting my pent up thoughts, here you go doing a recap on all the stories I just posted to. Hey, I could have done all my "shopping" at one place! As I noted on an earlier post, it's a crying shame this site has so much "business" and I pity the poor souls without internet access.

March 9, 2007 - 10:33 ET by old croI've been a busy poster this morning, so I will just get one more clog out of my craw, if all of you don't mind.
Has anyone seen the new Global Warming Illustrated issue?
http://sportsillustr...
It just outraged me so while I was on a roll I penned them this comment:
My jaw dropped in total awe when viewing your latest issue to hit the stand. Have you no sensibilities? Have you no shame? Don't you know of the panic you are causing as we speak to little league players throughout the country? Are you so politically motivated to put this garbage on your cover without the slightest notion that you are being scammed? A word of advice - STICK TO SPORTS. I am inundated (like the world soon will be according to you) by the global warming crowd everywhere I go and in everything I watch. I read your magazine for the escape that pure sport brings to me. Global warming? Global warming? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING GLOBAL WARMING. Please stick to the fisticuffs in the NBA and the search for real racial equality in the NFL. Your left leaning scare tactics are getting weary. Think about it, if all that you prophesize does happen, and that is a big, big IF, what the hell are we going to do about it anyway. Buy some big pumps? Move to Arizona? You're killing trees to print this stuff by the way, would you like to purchase some carbon credits? I know I probably don't have to say this, but FYI I will not be renewing my subscription. Take that and shove it up your global warming issue.
Your all wet,

March 9, 2007 - 11:19 ET by Six String SpiffIf the MSM was destroyed (killed, if you will) I think more people would have a better chance at winning this WOT. For instance, the next terrorist attack results in MECCA being lit up like a Christmas Tree. For if it were not for these FOOLS and TRAITORS in the MSM ENDANGERING our very existence via ommision and opining instead of factual reporting, we would have done what needed to be done a long time ago. The MSM is THE reason why politicians are afraid to do anything. Especially the right thing. The MSM needs to be put in its place before this country can move on. Simple as that.
PS. NO I am not "calling" for anybody to harm the traitorous bastards in the MSM. I do however, believe that someday the MSM will have pissed off somebody, or some group, enough to seriously regret it. All the leaked stories would be enough to throw them all in the tank.
Sure, I watch the MSM... Through a pair of crosshairs.

March 9, 2007 - 11:26 ET by blarsenHow about all that liberal news bias by the MSM in covering the affair that Newtie had while impeaching Clinton?
Even you should get this, Blarsen
March 9, 2007 - 11:31 ET by RJThis is such a simple concept that even you should be able to understand it, Blarsen. Clinton was not impeachd for having an affair. He was impeached for lying under oath.

Can you say "hypocrites"?
I knew you couldn't.

March 9, 2007 - 13:16 ET by MightyMouthThe difference is; Scooter Libby isn't a sitting president! And when you look at all the political angles of this ...turns out it was a democratick hatchet job! FREE LIBBY!!!

March 9, 2007 - 13:33 ET by blarsenSo lying under oath is fine for the republicans just as long as you're not a sitting president?
Wrap your little brain around this: The investigation of the outing of Valerie Plame AND the intelligence front-- Brewster-Jennings, was NOT brought on by the democrats. It was the CIA who went to the Justice Department to find out who the senior government officials were that Robert Novak had mentioned in his syndcated column and had leaked the names of Plame and Brewster-Jennings.
Oh, it was the CIA! You me
March 9, 2007 - 13:38 ET by MightyMouthOh, it was the CIA! You mean the second most liberal infected institution in the US government? Is that the CIA you mean? Look dimwit, this thing has been hashed and rehashed around here. Now, unless you have anything new to add... STFU!

I take it back, blarsen
March 9, 2007 - 17:47 ET by RJI take it back, blarsen. I said even you could get the concept, but I was wrong. You began by comparing Clinton to Gingrich, and when I pointed out there was no similarity between them, you started jumping around to unrelated subjects like a scalded cat. Sorry for causing you pain, and sorry for taxing your synapses that way. (But I can't take the blame for the way your synapses keep firing randomly, blarsen...that's all you.)

Balances are out because they're "too traditional."

March 9, 2007 - 11:57 ET by bassndudeKinda reminds you of the "hottie bandits" in Georgia, dont it? Justice is no longer blind, but can take sides. The scales of justice are a thing of the past, so that, right or wrong, the favored one wins.
