No one should be surprised, but journalists -- you know, those fair, balanced and unbiased professionals -- give more of their political donations to Democrats than they do Republicans. Not by just a little, either. By a 15 to 1 margin.
Brit Hume has a small bit on his Political Grapevine about political donations and he mentions an IBD editorial on the money trail. The piece is by William Tate…
Matthews Defends 'Thrill Going Up My Leg,' Insists He's Fair
Appearing on the Monday, July 21, Tonight Show, MSNBC host Chris Matthews defended his declaration from last February that a Barack Obama speech caused him to feel a "thrill going up my leg," and suggested he really is not biased in the presidential race as he contended that "I’m a freaking American" and "who I’m rooting for" is "us." Referring to Obama having "seen on both sides of that San…
AP: US Now Winning Iraq War
Stop the presses: the world's leading wire service declared on July 26, 2008, that America is now winning the war in Iraq.Think I'm kidding?

Penn & Teller Expose Socialist Roots To Environmental Hysteria

NYT Complaint: Not Enough Photos Of Mutilated American Soldiers in Thi
** Now With Update... A Soldier Speaks **
The New York Times is miffed. They aren't happy that there has been a dearth of news photos showing dead American soldiers in the war in Iraq.

Gushing Immaturity: A German Reporter's Workout With Barack Obama
Apparently, Bild, a newspaper in Germany, hires 14-year-old, starry-eyed, fan-girls as reporters instead of serious grownups. Or, at least one would be excused in thinking this reporter was a rock-star struck teeny bopper upon reading her gushingly immature account of having an exercise work out with Barack Obama on the German leg of his trip.
