For You To Consider

From Neal Boortz:
THERE THEY GO AGAIN
The anti-Bush media template didn't end with his landslide victory over The Poodle in the 2004 presidential election last November. Today there's a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll out that shows a majority of Americans (57 percent) do not believe it was worth going to war in Iraq. See a pattern here in the coverage of all things related to the Bush administration? The mainstream media still has a few prime directives these days, including (but not limited to):
The War in Iraq. All bad news must be brought front and center and must be the top story. If somebody in Baghdad stubs their toe, it must be breaking news. Anything bad is George Bush's fault. All good news must be buried. Anything positive reported happening in Iraq must be followed by the phrase "but questions remain."
The economy. No matter how robust the economy is, all good news must be suppressed. Stories about the trade deficit, number of uninsured in this country, budget deficit and unemployment must be played up. Any good news, or any previously bad news that has been revised to be good will be hidden away on the back page. Oh, and minorities are always hardest hit.
Presidential appointments. Everyone George Bush appoints to anything is to be demonized and portrayed as a radical. Doesn't matter if we're talking about judges or ambassadors. The John Bolton hearings will look like a bike ride compared to the coming storm over Supreme Court nominees. Words and phrases like "radical right, far-right, right-wing and extremist" are to be used as much as possible. To the media, there is no such thing as a left-wing extremist. Just in case you needed a quick rundown of the leftist media handbook, there you go.

Reading Assignments:

MSNBC has a story this morning that "scores" have been killed in Iraq. For those of you indoctrinated in a government school, a score is 20. So 2 1/2 scores of people have died in Iraq. This is all part of the liberal media agenda to play up bad news. "Scores" sounds much worse than "50."

Jennifer Wilbanks is under fire from the Hispanic community. Seems they're none too happy with her phony kidnapping story about a Hispanic taking her captive. She also said she was captured in a blue van. What about all the owners of blue vans being offended?

President Bush doesn't seem to be getting much traction with Social Security reform. Robert Pozen says there's a way out. He calls it a win-win proposition.

Have all rich people gotten to where they are on the backs of the poor? Have they merely been winners in "life's lottery?" Walter Williams says you can be anything you want in America.

The CIA ordered its operatives to capture Osama Bin Laden and kill him. And just how were they supposed to bring back the proof? Naturally, they were told to bring back the severed head in a box of dry ice. I suppose it wouldn't keep too long otherwise in the desert.

One of The Hildabeast's 2000 campaign contributors to the tune of $1.2 million is launching an effort calling her entire election into question. Hillary's bag man has already been indicted...who else is next?

Congressman Bob Barr wants a part of the Patriot Act reigned in.....in particular, the part that allows for what's called a "delayed notification warrant" or the "sneak and peek" provision. Barr wants to change the provision and limit. Constructive criticism of an otherwise decent piece of legislation that deserves to be looked at.

Good news for the Baby Jesus....his stalker has been apprehended. With all those women throwing their bras and panties at him during book signings, there's bound to be a few nutcases
out there.

House Republicans are calling out Nancy Pelosi for her hypocrisy.....she seemed all hot and bothered about Tom DeLay's questionable trips paid by lobbyists...but suddenly doesn't care one bit about similar ethical breaches by Democrats. Should we be surprised? Of course not.

There is a simmering issue out there that could cause real problems for the Republicans in mid-term elections and beyond: their seeming indifference to the problem of illegal aliens. Kenneth Baer reports.

The UN is set to begin its review conference on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Frank Gaffney says the treaty is a joke. Time to send John Bolton up there to crack some heads.

Ever wonder what life is like under The Gargoyle in North Korea? President Bush said at his press conference that there were concentration camps. Christopher Hitchens says not only are there concentration camps, but the whole country is a slave state.

The media is at it again....this time with their biased liberal polling on the issue of the Senate filibuster. The Media Research Center has a full report.

There's a new book out about "South Park Conservatives. Michelle Malkin says she's not one of them. She must not like the show.

Have bloggers, talk radio and cable news killed newspapers? Jonah Goldberg says not necessarily, and argues that newspapers have been in decline since long before the Internet came out.
