L. CHENEY: Then why are you running terrorist propaganda?

BLITZER: With all due respect -- with all due respect, this is not terrorist propaganda.

Oh, c'mon, Wolf. You're caught, and you know it. Media bias is a thing of the past. You, and the others like you in the 527 Media, are producing campaign commercials for the Democrats and trying to pass them off as news. Thus the ever-deepening Couric Crater, the falling stock price of the NYT (down almost 60% in the past few years) and so forth. (I know, I know. Internet competition is driving newspaper stocks down, but liberal activism accelerates their decline.)

A week from tomorrow Americans will decide between saddling George W. Bush with a hostile Democratic Congress or with a Republican-controlled Senate dominated by presidential wannabes. Sigh. Vote Republican anyhow, if only to annoy the media.
