Check your levels big guy. I couldn’t hear the report, which wasn’t a problem with other Afterburner segments. I had both the computer speakers and the movie window at maximum volume.

I seem to recall that the Left endlessly charged that the Bush Administration “cherry-picked” intelligence pertaining to Iraq’s WMD program. We are expected to ignore the fact that the Clinton Administration was receiving similar intelligence reports, as were leaders of nations that ended up opposing Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Now let us consider the function of the news media. Their job is to provide information to the electorate, so that we can make informed decisions regarding the future of our republic. Note that this neatly parallels the function of our various intelligence agencies, which is to provide information to our elected and appointed officials, so that they can make informed decisions regarding the future of our republic. Is there anyone who seriously believes* that the news media do not “cherry-pick” the information they deign to provide to the public? From what I’ve seen over the past few years, the actual motto of the New York Times has been “All The News We See Fit To Print.”

*Sadly, it does seem that quite a few of those who live here in America believe that, among all the news media, only Fox News (or, as they refer to it, “Faux News”) has ever shown any bias in its reporting of events. Evidently, any news reporting that doesn’t fit the Left’s viewpoint is an out-and-out lie, regardless of how accurately it reports what actually happens in the world.

Hmmm… Looks like some of your fine readers have proven my “venom” point. I hear this kind of talk a lot on the nicely balanced conservative shows. Doug and Wayne make some great points.

I did actually consider myself a Republican, and still espouse the Republican core values that are now pretty much opposite to what mainstream Republican’s believe (ie. state’s rights, keep your hands off people’s rights to the degree possible, small government, etc…). Can’t really say I want to be associated with a party that has so many members who want to dabble so much in religion, sex lives, etc…

Doug – Yes, it’s getting annoying to hear the wacko leftists calling on the radio talk shows saying, “I used to be a Republican, but all the have totally turned me off from them.” It’s like they actually think they are not as transparent as glass, trying to lay out all these “complaints” they have, especially when accusations like hatefulness and fear-mongering are exactly what the liberals and media have been doing for the last 30 years or so.

Dave Thompson? Sounds a bit more like an Obama White House staffer. Frankly, I doubt the line “I used to consider myself a republican” very much. It’s what you seminar caller leftists always say, and it is almost invariably a lie. You follow that up with sneering derision and outright lies (“the media tries to be unbiased”? “The nation is sick of all the venom”?) and seem to think that you’re making points. In reality (yes I know, you’re not familiar with the concept), we ARE the nation, and you’re not.
