Bulletin! 'The mainstream press is liberal' ~ By Joseph Farah

From WorldNetDaily
Joseph FarahBy Joseph Farah Posted: October 13, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Well, it's official. The self-proclaimed watchdog of the news media admits the dirty little secret – "The mainstream press is liberal." That's the word from Thomas Edsall, formerly of the Washington Post and now with the Huffington Puffington Post, in the Columbia Journalism Review. But it's not what you think. It's an admission, yes. But it's also a rallying cry for a coming out party – a giant celebration of the media's liberaldom. "Once, before 1965, reporters were a mix of the working stiffs leavened by ne'er-do-well college grads unfit for corporate headquarters or divinity school," wrote Edsall. "Since the civil rights and women's movements, the culture wars and Watergate, the press corps at such institutions as the Washington Post, ABC-NBC-CBS News, the NYT, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, etc. is composed in large part of 'new' or 'creative' class members of the liberal elite – well-educated men and women who tend to favor abortion rights, women's rights, civil rights, and gay rights. In the main, they find such figures as Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Pat Robertson, or Jerry Falwell beneath contempt." Edsall goes on to agree with critics that if only reporters were allowed to vote, "Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and John Kerry would have won the White House by landslide margins." None of it matters, explains Edsall, because "While the personnel tend to share an ideological worldview, most have a personal and professional commitment to the objective presentation of information, a commitment that is not shared by the conservative media."[CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]

Liberal rules don't apply to liberals ~ By Roger Hedgecock

From WorldNetDaily
Roger Hedgecock By Roger Hedgecock Posted: October 05, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 It's bedrock liberal feminist teaching that when a male in a superior position in the workplace has sex with a female in a subordinate job, the sex is non-consensual. The male is using his position to extort the sex. Every time. No exceptions. Many a male has lost his job over this. Don't think this applies to you? Consult your workplace "sexual harassment" code. On his national TV program the other night, David Letterman admitted having sex with (much) younger female staffers in subordinate jobs in his production company "Worldwide Pants, Inc." We shoulda known by the name. Letterman still has his show and his job. In fact, his confession got a loud laugh from his New York studio audience. They're the same laughs Dave gets when he makes fun of the Palin family – or of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Dave reacted to news that Arnold had once groped eight women by remarking "He's presidential material." Liberal rules don't apply to liberals. Apparently neither does liberal philosophy. Dave also disclosed why he was confessing on the national show. A "48 Hours" producer had tried to extort $2 million from him, threatening to expose Dave's indiscretions. As the story was told, when Letterman heard the producer's demand, he immediately called his attorney, who went to the Manhattan district attorney. The attorney then, wearing a wire, met with the blackmailer. A grand jury was convened, an indictment handed down, an arrest made. It all happened in a short period of time. The "right response" you say? Yes. In my opinion, it was exactly the right thing to do. But not according to prevailing liberal thought. Letterman, a New York liberal, endorsed President Obama and specifically praised Obama's rejection of Bush unilateralism and Obama's willingness to join allies and meet directly with dictators who are developing nuclear weapons in North Korea and Iran, "extending our hand if they will unclench their fist." Yet when he was faced with a determined adversary equipped and willing to nuke his career, Dave dropped the hammer on him. Where was the understanding, the empathy? After all, the producer had found out about Dave's activity by reading his girlfriend's diary. [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]

What is a socialist? - By Patrice Lewis

According to Dictionary.com, socialism is "Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy." Socialism might sound lofty to liberals, but those of us in Flyover Country know better. read more | digg story

Obama's vain beginning - By Alan Keyes

"Never forget the difference between good-sounding reasons and good sound reasoning. That was one of the first admonitions I remember hearing from my debate coach in high school." Alan Keyes, at least, has the guts to say who President Obama is, which is in sharp contrast with today's Pat Buchanan fluffy piece about Obama's "Reaganesque speech."

Every liberal policy in a nutshell - Glenn Beck

It's all about feel-good emotional stuff! If you want to do it for any other reasons, like for our country's security, forget about it. If it will make us all feel good, well, then maybe we should do it! Glenn Beck saw a great segment on "24" on Monday night that explains the whole liberal philosphy... And they thought the show was just fiction...
