SILVER LINING br> Re: Brandon Crocker's Yes, We Have No Biases : /p> p>Thanks to Brandon Crocker for putting together so eloquently what I have tried to explain to some of my liberal friends. Now, I'll just give them a copy of this article. br> -- Karen Kern /p>

Brandon Crocker is guilty of the very nonsense he purports to skewer ("Yes, we have no biases"). His article concentrates solely on alleged crimes by the media in covering President Bush. He seems to perceive a vast left-wing conspiracy in this regard. He completely ignores, however, an obviously Republican mouthpiece organization such as the hilariously-named Fox "News" in his diatribe. In a recent interview, David Gergen was repeatedly baited by a Fox anchorman to criticize John Kerry. After some initial resistance, Gergen finally gave in a bit. It's just one example of a ridiculously biased outfit with the veneer of news surrounding its relentless propaganda. Fox News is in fact headed up by a former GOP strategist, and their conservative soul is never in doubt.

p>If Mr. Crocker was truly outraged by the appearance of bias in the news media, he should rightfully have excoriated both sides of the equation. But given that he is a "real estate executive," and likely the beneficiary of an unneeded Bush tax cut, that would be biting the hand that feeds him, and feeds him with a silver spoon no less. br> -- Jeff Scheidel br> Westmont, Illinois /p>
