Excelent read. Very good to know websites like this. And I am glad that yahoo made the translation tool (and that I discovered it). This way I don’t care about the language. I’ll come back more times. Thank you

Helen Thomas was bent out of shape at Zero’s minions having the audacity to feed a question to a Huffpo goon not her highness the Lefist Dowager Queen Helen.
Another way of viewing horrible Helen’s outburst at Gibbs by the Witch of White House press corp’s anger is the old maxim that hell hath no fury to equal that of a woman scorned.

I hope this revelation hastens the demise of the WaPo. The print media is now just a giant democratic propaganda machine, and most likely this is the reason that circulation and adverting are dropping. People now know that anything by the liberal print media is most likely not really news but an editorial or opinion piece that is extreme left in their views. I guess you will now have to line your birdcage with McDonalds or Burger King bags because soon there will be no more newspapers in the country.

Nope, not surprised at all. Been complaining for years. See:

Well, considering that lobbying is the biggest racket in town, it’s hard to blame that floundering rag from getting into it. I wish I could get into it. The Waxman-Markey Faux Energy Bill looks like a huge windfall for lobbyists/bagmen.

I only read our local fishwrap at work while heating up my lunch, but it looks from their headlines like they are trying to convince us that the “stimulus” is doing great things for our state. There is no mention of the national debt. Perhaps not coincidentally, their stock is now worth about 58 cents a share.

The New York Times? Is that, like, a newspaper, or something?

I am curious: which bureaucrats and Congressthings were coming, and what were they paid?

Sheesh,

With Armstrong Williams you neglect to state that the Dept of Education paid him to positively publicize NCLB (which was unethical and unprofessional for Williams to accept; and silly for the government, no matter if done with good intentions). However, with the WaPo, they were advertising their access to government and selling that access to anyone who wanted to get inside and make their pitch. I will assume that the White house was complicit in this (it just sounds so, Chicago). So, rather than being identical to Williams it is exactly opposite. It is the WaPo and the White House selling access to any and all takers.
