Alastair Campbell's coming to speak in Edinburgh tomorrow, and I'm going along. We'll see if he tells as many lies in real life as he does in the press.

I never said there was a pre-war link from Al-Qaeda to Iraq, and the administration has actually stated this is the case.

Also I said several times, over and over, that I didn't even think Bush should have mentioned WMDs being present in Iraq, because it would look bad if they weren't found, and only be of benefit to the P.R. of the war if they were. I said it was a mistake to spin the WMD evidence the way it was spun.

I like that I disagee with you, so automatically I am pro-Bush and watching that crazy Fox News. Just like that article headline says something bad about the U.S., so automatically everything in it is information painting a bad picture of the administration (even though they are mentioned no where in it).

You are all just hippies smoking the dope and watching that crazy MTV.

Hey fuzzyman, turn down the MTV a while, I think it's rotting your brain out.

Hey here's a pretty good story on the complete 100% fakey "outrage" over the mention of a historical event in a Bush ad:

This, then, is the fringe crowd that declares itself "offended" by the Bush ads.

That is, if you can turn down your MTV long enough to read it!! LOL ;)

Sorry, wouldn't have known that. I don't actually read your posts (grin).

Actually, the article makes me wonder -- which came first, the chicken or the egg? Do people have those misconceptions because they watch Fox? Or do people who are inclined to have those misconceptions flock there? And if so, why? (chicken/egg/chicken/egg).

Likewise, is the NPR News crowd liberal because they listen to NPR, or do liberal people happen to flock there for some reason? As a liberal/moderate who listens to NPR, I honestly don't sense any bias. I would suppose that someone who likes Fox doesn't sense any bias on Fox. I knowa guy who actually buys the "fair and balanced" schtick, hook, line, and sinker.

On the other hand, as an NPR listener I find TV news coverage to be appallingly superficial.

People know what they get when they turn on Fox News, just like they know what they get when they turn on Rush Limbaugh.

The phrase "fair and balanced" was, actually, made up to piss people like you off. That is actually the truth.

I've never noticed a bias in NPR programming.

Hey, you discovered TV is superficial. Way to go Columbo.

"Meter" is already a British term, do you have to gay it up more by spelling it "metre"?

No arguments here.

Actually, I think the phrase refers to fair and balanced, covering the issues and news in a political bent that balances out other stations. At least that's the idea.


Never checked it out.

It's all about the Benjamins.

Actually, I think "metre" was invented by US scientists. I am probably wrong. But in any case, there is logic behind the cockeyed spelling. A meter is something to measure with, a metre is a unit of measurment.

And to those of my fellow Americans still a little confused about the metric system, a metre is around 1 yard. 3 feet. 36".

Of course, this "around" stuff would create chaos in the space program. 1km is nowhere near the same as 1,000 yards.

Of course, it's been a while since I really looked at the metric system, but I assure you, it's really quite useful. Now I'm going to drink my 12oz soda, and do my work on my 17" monitor, all while sitting my 6'1, 147lb ass on a chair.

WBAI in New York is a great radio station, and I guess it's considered NPR. It's pretty left-wing, but not in an insanely obvious, agenda-touting sense like Fox is.

VOTE JEB BUSH 2008

Member Rated:

NPR Programming I believe is broken up into local affiliate programming, along with national feed programming. The proportion of that I think is determined at least in part by the local affiliates. Local affiliates could in fact be biased, espcially if their donations come from certain groups of people (wealthy liberals). They are naturally going to put on more programming that appeals to their donors.

Also for an organization that is dependent on government funding, they might surely express some kind of "bias" in that area. (You know, the insidious "Support the Arts!" agenda)

More ramp-up to the Bin Laden nab!

I actually bet they nab him in spring, as they had been suggesting they would before the winter. This would essentially derail the Kerry campaign completely. If they did this maybe they'd seal the deal by shooting Osama later in the year. Just a guess.

Kerry's spokesman said all the swearing on his site was probably caused by a "virus". Maybe he meant a real one that attacks the brain.

Hey look at this image on the front page of CNN:

What's this?? Bush CLEARLY takes up 2/3rds of the picture, leaving Kerry a mere 1/3RD!

This is a clear bias on the part of CNN. Are they saying Kerry deserves 1/3rd the attention that Bush will get??

P.S. omg turn on cnn :|

It's worse than that. Bush is standing in the light of day, with an open palm extended in friendship. Kerry is standing in some ghastly artificial light, both hands hidden from view. He could be holding a dagger behind his back or masturbating furiously -- you just don't know. But clearly, the worst is implied.

Trying to save money? Trying to keep a job or get one? Too bad. It looks like we've entered the second dip in the W shaped recession.

I'll just assume the story says the opposite of the headlines, Spankling, and save myself some time, how about that. Or maybe you just posted dead links again with headlines you made up. (That's always a classic manuver).

Wow look at the new CNN pic:

No wonder Kerry had such a small photo, he looks like a Jack-O-Lantern mated with Frakenstein.

I do agree that voting with no paper trail is just stupid.
