The Art of Being Shown Up

WE ALL SCREAM FOR MAINSTREAM
Re: Lorie Byrd's Show Me:

You may also add the following to Lorie Byrd's list of signs that liberal media bias is past practice:

...when United States military casualties in the Middle East are reported as heroic individual sacrifices in the advance of freedom and not regrettable anonymous demerits against a steadfast American President.
-- Deane Fish
Altamont, New York

I enjoyed the article by Lorie Byrd this morning. How silly of people to say that bloggers are not journalists.

Ms. Byrd was informative and amusing. I hope you will carry more of her writings.
-- Maggie Gara

What would it take for me to believe that the "mainstream media" is becoming more balanced? For a start, I would settle for just one story to end with a comment from a Conservative rather than a liberal. Just one. Nah, never gonna happen. The "mainstream media" will just keep judging themselves innocent of liberal bias even while they sink into complete irrelevance.

Thank you for sharing Lorie Byrd's "Media Matters" list.

A few of my favorite examples to share with MSM defenders:

When NOW whines, the world hears, often on the front pages of major newspapers. Concerned Women for America, representing more American women and supporting traditional American values, can't buy ad space.

There are 97 Senators, each with an equal voice, holding forums, supporting positions, representing constituents -- and we get Reid, Clinton and Kerry, with regular scatterings of Byrd and Kennedy -- OPINING as "news" across the New York Times and Washington Post front pages.

My #1 pet press peeve, proof of dangerous press bias, big time is Iraq war coverage ignoring the daily victories across Iraq, and reporting the latest enemy PR from the Palestine Hotel bar. The only Republicans who appear on Sunday "news" shows and in the front pages of the above ''papers of record'' -- Republicans who vocally denounced Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld.

My rule for who NOT to vote for in 2008: Any Republican who sides with Hillary, condemns Rummy, proudly claims to know more than the Generals on the ground or the CinC who attends daily security briefings about how to run the war on terror, post-9/11.

ACK!

Biased isn't the word for today's Seymour Hersh fans and followers.
-- Heather

Excellent summary of Liberal "Tells" for the MSM, but the most significant of all deserves mention: "when the Canadiens face off against the Bruins (pronounced "Broons") on a warm day in hell."
-- Gene Wright
Laguna Niguel, California
