"Frankly . . . I'm not fan of his but the Special Olympics thing is a non-starter. It was a poorly chosen venue for a comment that any of us would have laughed at in private. He made a mistake. He apologized. Case closed." Agreed. However the mainstream media is curiously silent on this, where if that same quip were uttered by a GOP member, they would have been calling for his/her resignation by now. |

I'm sick of liberals complaining about the lack of "fairness" in the media when there is THIS kind of bias in the news. |

Gentlemen, the main stream media is, very likely, soon to be all but eliminated. Just check out the Seattle P-I, Rocky Mountain News and most other large newspapers. Without newspaper reporters, most professionally trained in colleges, at least attempting to be objective and turn over rocks and stop government from screwing the pooches, who will we rely on for news? The Associated Press is made up of member newspapers and reprints stories others write. TV is useless. Fox and CNN and MSNBC have axes to grind. Bloggers don't do the work 8 hours a day and they all have horses in the race. Will it be up to government to tell us what it's doing? The mainstream media must be doing a decent job if both liberals and conservatives are whining about it. Who will do the job when it is gone? NOTE: I'm a member of the mainstream media. |

There are virtually NO unbiased, professional paper, dinosaur media worth a damn. Our local paper blows donkey and is so biased that it can't GIVE away subscriptions (currently have a deal going that if you buy weekend subscription, they'll give you the rest of the week so that they can count you in the circulation numbers). The bias is documented and pervasive. |

You're saying your local organization gives you nothing of value? No stories on how local officials are jacking up your property taxes? How they're spending your money? Who the cops have arrested and why? What's going in the courts? There's nothing you can count on to be true or presented to inform you of what's going to impact you and your family? If that's the case, it deserves to die, but what do you suggest take its place? In the next few years, you're very likely to have nothing like what we've known since 1918. |

They have been caught carrying the water for those crooks, so many times, they've become a joke. You did make a valid point. As weak of a job as the newspapers do investigating the government crooks, there currently is no viable alternative. |

In his latest faux pas Obama managed to pi$$ off France... President Obama wrote Jacques Chirac saying he was looking forward to working with the former French president in the coming four years(?) Monsters and Critics reported: US President Barack Obama has indirectly praised former French president Jacques Chirac's fierce opposition to the US-led invasion of Iraq, the online edition of the daily Le Figaro reported on Thursday. In a letter described by Chirac as 'very nice,' Obama wrote, 'I am certain that we will be able to work together, in the coming four years, in a spirit of peace and friendship to build a safer world.' The use of the word 'peace' was taken to be an indirect reference to Chirac's stance against the US intervention in Iraq, which Obama had also opposed as senator. No Pasaran has more on the bizarre letter to Chirac. French newspaper Le Figaro is horrified at the faux pas. And, current French President Sarkozy was appparently upset with the letter. Europumas and Free Republic has the latest: Now Obama has insulted French President Sarkozy! Oh no! Obama sent a letter to Chirac, saying he looks forward to working with him the next four years. Le Figaro, French newspaper is horrified at the faux pas. Doesn't Obama ever consult his staff before acting? Sarkozy is the President there! It's like Sarko writing to George Bush and saying he looks forward to working with him. Chirac is the FORMER president. http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-up sets-sarkozy-with-letter-to.html |

You're saying your local organization gives you nothing of value? No. There used to be two papers in town, the Tennessean and the Nashville Banner. The Tennessean was the more liberal of the two. The Banner, the more conservative. The Tennessean and Banner were owned Under JOA until Gannett took over. In the end, the entire Banner press staff were let go in favor of the Tennessean. After that point, the writing took an even further left bent. Every story that comes out now is biased. I guess the dog bites man stories are fine. Hard to screw those up. |

the time the french chased off a somali gun boat for us, we decided to give them a gift, we gave them a cake and in exchange they sent over a case of wine. i mean christ, we carried pallets of beer on board and a cake was the best we could come up with. kinda like the beads we gave the native americans. no wonder no one likes us. our diplomacy tends to suck at times. |

Regarding Somali pirates, as an armchair admiral, I don't understand why we (or the ChiComs) can't take them out in such a way that the next potential pirate crew decides another career path would be much more healthy. I thought pirates on the open seas had little expectation of Miranda rights and well-crafted indictments. |

"I thought pirates on the open seas had little expectation of Miranda rights and well-crafted indictments." You'd think the same would apply to non state actors (terrorists) that deserve neither POW status (they hide amongst civilian populations, the Geneva Conventions specifically prohibit this) nor rights under the US constitution. |
