    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
    Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

    He could always be a foreign correspondent for CNN. They both have the same opinion of the US and the US military


    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    Back to the topic at hand, here is a perfect example of the liberal bias in the media. The media that needs fairness


    AP Celebrates: Democrats 'Cleared Away The Financial Mess' of GOP
    Posted by Tim Graham on February 1, 2007 - 05:51.
    Jonah Goldberg at The Corner noticed the Associated Press covered the budget process with more attitude than objectivity with this introduction from reporter Andrew Taylor:

    "The House passed a $463.5 billion spending bill Wednesday that covers about one-sixth of the federal budget as Democrats cleared away the financial mess they inherited from Republicans."

    Cleared away the financial mess, all in one spending bill? That's not just editorializing, it's bald-faced partisan rhetoric, not fact. Just paragraphs later, Taylor suggests the Democrats are still a lot like Republicans:

    "Despite GOP complaints about how the bill came together, it generally is a Republican-leaning measure that keeps to the same overall cap that Bush and congressional Republicans insisted on last year — before Democrats won control of Capitol Hill in the November elections."

    "Spending levels for most agencies and programs are the same as in last year's budget."

    With all due respect, isn't complaining about media bias a bit like complaining that ice is cold or rocks are hard ?

    The point is it is the left who wants to silence the outlets that disagree with them

    For many years, the liberal media could shape, present, and slant the news anyway they wanted

    Then talk radio and the internet came along and folks got the other side. People have choosen to listen to talk radion and watch Fox News

    That is what the left wants to stop

    Is that why Fox News (the right wing network) has more libs on then even CNN and MSNBC?

    The RIGHT did not have, as the first item on their Senate agenda, a bill to cut free speech.

    Actually, we on the right enjoy watching the libs making total fools of themselves every time they open their mouths.
