After Rosie O’Donnell leaves "The View" next month, where will Americans go for bizarre 9/11 conspiracy theories? On Monday, the comedienne reiterated her theory that fire couldn’t possibly melt steel. The ABC host also agreed that she has a "cult personality." A few days later, O’Donnell was at it again, comparing the United States to terrorists. Liberal co-host Joy Behar also found a Republican presidential candidate she can finally embrace...Congressman Ron Paul.
"Vote Obama ‘08: Unless You’re a Racist"
"This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos displayed his usual high level of objectivity when he assumed that the only racists who would have a problem with Obama are Republicans (and they wouldn’t vote for a Democrat anyway). Yes, it’s a good thing that liberals don’t use cheap generalizations.
Many people found GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee’s jibe, that Congress spends money "like John Edwards at a beauty shop," to be quite witty and amusing. Not Chris Matthews, however. He described the comment, uttered at a Republican presidential debate, as "stupid," "embarrassing" and "pandering." He also assailed the "negative campaign" of the GOP front-runners. If only they could be like those cheery, happy media types.
"Just Because it’s Not True..."
You may have heard the evolving media myth that the press acted as a lapdog for President Bush prior to the Iraq war? Well, this theory has the unfortunate aspect of not being true, as the MRC’s Rich Noyes pointed out. Don’t expect members of the media to stop reciting it, however.
If You Can’t Say Anything Nice...
So, who does CNN bring on to discuss the death of the Reverend Jerry Falwell? Well, it seems as though the network decided that angry atheist Christopher Hitchens would be the right man. He proceeded to label Fallwell a "bully," a "fraud" and an "ugly toad."

Yes, it has been another ex
May 19, 2007 - 14:38 ET by terrigYes, it has been another exciting week in the US. What would we do without Chrissie Matthews telling us how mean we are. Guess he gets $400 haircuts too. I mean I'm a woman and even on my wedding day I have never spent that much on my hair. As for the idiots over at ABC, I mean who are they kidding with that old Clinton hanger on in the formerly vaunted "This Week with David Brinkley", & I thought Sam & Cokie were bad-just when you think things can't get worse. As for Rosie, well what can I say but perhaps a stop at AQ HQ in Pakistan (?) to meet with the "nice terrorists" with Mommy Kelly may be in order. I'll even max out my credit cards to pay for the trip.
So, since I have no desire to vote for Obama that makes me a racist? Wow, learn something new everday. I wouldn't vote for any dimocrap and if Newt is at the top of the Republican ticket, well Captain Crunch will be getting my vote. I mean he's got some "experience as a Capt. of a cereal ship"-just kidding. As for CNN having on Hitchens, why is anyone shocked by this?
BTW this wasn't on the list but I wish DImmy Carter would keep his trap shut. He is still the most incompetent President in my lifetime. I fondly remember sitting in gas lines with my parents in 1979 and a few times when we were almost next, they ran out. Such fond memories of those times. I remember Miss Lillian though and Billy, they were funny and I truly liked those two but Dimmy-what an idiot. He should be ashamed of himself but the netroots love him even though he's to blame for a lot of our trouble in the middle east and with Iran in my humble opinion.

In the middle of reading through your post I just had to stop and laugh. The lunacy of it all is just too much to take on in one fell swoop, and so you aptly strung together there.
Crazy world in which we live, and I, for one, am convinced it's time to take it back from the loons and leftists who wish to rob us blind and who think we're too stupid to notice or protest.

May 19, 2007 - 14:55 ET by BlondeI think we already have, Bruce.
Well, perhaps we could amend it to "That Was the Media Biased Week That Was".
And my friend terrig put a mighty fine point on it.

Another MSM cheap shot
May 20, 2007 - 10:07 ET by Cape Conservative"This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos displayed his usual high level of objectivity when he assumed that the only racists who would have a problem with Obama are Republicans (and they wouldn’t vote for a Democrat anyway).

Here's my candidate for next week's list...just finished reading Time's Joe Klein article re: second Republican debate. When asked a torture question, when Senator McCain answered in a manner acceptable to the MSM, Klein noted McCain's answer "...didn't seem to go over with the audience but endeared him to sane people everywhere else." Isn't it wonderful that Mr. Klein can make a "cheap generalization" that everyone who doesn't agree is INSANE!
What would we do without such unbiased MSM coverage????
And, I agree with above posters, Terri gets an A+ for her contribution :-)

May 20, 2007 - 10:12 ET by Cape ConservativeAnd might I add, the Time cover and inside feature on AlGore were disgustingly sugar-sweet - a billet-doux if I ever read one!
