Why does it matter who wins these awards?

@Doug,
ABC=Disney=Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud

I know of no link to Cole but the steady drip of Islamist propaganda into the American discourse is very much so part of his agenda.

If I was Juan Williams, I think I would sue the guy for having the same first name…

That was unreadable. And just a tad further off the radar than KOS. WoW!

Nominated bloggers should declare the amount of donations they’re receiving to determine who’s most popular. What’s a silly little electronic vote by a pimply 14-year-old compared to a real live vote of confidence via PayPal?

ABC News Sat on Blago Bookie Mob Charge for Years.
Robert Cooley is a former Chicago police officer-turned mob lawyer-turned federal informant. During Operation Gambat in the late 1980′s and early 1990′s, Cooley’s undercover work and testimony put away 24 crooked politicians, judges, lawyers and cops. Several years ago, when Mr. Blagojevich was running for re-election, Cooley provided the same information to the ABC7 I-Team. Because Cooley did not want to be identified at the time and the governor denied it, ABC7 did not report the story.

I’d like to see a show of hands of people that believe the media would have sat on this story if the person being fingered was a Republican.
This is the same ABC affiliate whose attorney’s worked overtime in 2004 to force the California courts to unseal the divorce records of Illinois Republican Jack Ryan when he was running against Barack Obama for the Illinois Senate seat. The efforts of the press successfully embarrassed the Republican and damaged his campaign to the point where he dropped out of the race. Yet charges of corruption tying a sitting Governor to the Illinois mob were brushed aside by Chicago’s local ABC affiliate because the Governor denied it and the whistle blower wouldn’t reveal his identity.

Enjoying the puffery and self-important indignation can almost be too much to bear. The task of deciding which information the public needs, and what it all means, is a thankless burden at times, is it not?

They’ve lived in their cloistered world so long I think they still don’t realize what’s happened–but it’s beginning to sink in. They just can’t believe that they’re no longer the anointed.

The distributed intelligence that sank Dan Rather changed their world–in about 40 minutes as I remember. Sooner or later they’ll have to admit they’re not smarter or more logical than we, or even better writers. Oh, how it will hurt.
