Jed Babbin’s piece is amazing. He hit the nail right on the head (though wrong on the Supreme Court nominee — only time will tell if it was a good choice or not). Bush and the Republican Party must take on the mainstream media. Slowly but surely people are recognizing the utter biased coverage by the media against this president and Republican Party. I constantly challenge leaders of the Chicago Tribune regarding columns, news reporting and the Tribune’s participation in the ACLU lawsuit to release more Abu Ghraib photos. While I have cancelled my subscription and am campaigning people I know to do the same (to some success), I still monitor the paper at work and on the web.

p>The Republican Party and Bush administration have to realize that people are willing to take on the MSM. I am actively doing so in any way I can and seek more opportunities to do so. It’s not that MSM is so biased to the Dems that riles me, it’s that it’s become more anti-U.S. The media must be challenged. Tim Russert must be challenged. David Gregory must be challenged. Terry Moran must be challenged, and so on and so on. Even Joe Scarborough, a conservative who in the past I have admired. Recently on his show a series of “facts” flashed on the screen. One item implied that FEMA denied the Red Cross access to New Orleans when in fact and according to the Red Cross, it was Louisiana that denied Red Cross access. I called Mr. Scarborough on this saying that even though he may not control what information is flashed on the screen, during his show he is responsible. Never heard from him. It seems he is more interested in being accepted by his MSM “friends” than reporting the truth. br> —
