Isn't it amazing...

I keep telling you, the major press, like the networks, is a reflection of society's desires. They have to be in order to keep the ratings/page views/subscriptions up. There was plenty of republican bias showing over the last few years when public sentiment leaned that way. Now, not so much. So, a victory for democracy abroad being not nearly the Springer show drama of political bitch-slapping at home, guess which one gets more ink.

You have to remember Stan's distorted view of the world. He's pissed because it isn't the ONLY news and his little god in the White House isn't getting a free pass on all his other stupidity because something good finally happened in Iraq. At any given instant there are considerably more assholes than mouths in the universe.

which explains the loss of readership at the New York Times, LA Times and the rise of FoxNews and the loss of viewship to CNN, MSBNC and the news programs of the 3 major networks.

The red state population -- you know, the kind of people that do all their shopping at Wal-Mart and consider Waffle House to be fine dining -- is always going to opt for the sleazy mud-slinging and name-calling tabloid entertainment that Fox tries to pass off as news over actual information. And while the major news media panders to the bottom-feeders in the genetic aquarium, the rest of the country starts turning to other sources for their news. That's why they're losing numbers.

...how the "non-biased" press starts loading the headlines with all the negative news they can find every time the Bush administration has some success. The big news today should be the successful elections in Iraq. But no, we get some e-mail from that socialist whore bitch Fienstien, and a report on military spending. Fucking treasonous assholes. :sigh: "Patriotism is the first refuge of a patriot."

Bull shit. All the networks, all the major newpapers and all the major web news sites are leading with every negative report they can dredge up. I had CNN on for an hour and heard one 30 second spot on the Iraq elections but plenty of bullshit about how we have been liberated from the patriot act and how Bush 'secretly' spied on Americans. http://www.yahoo.com/[^] http://www.msn.com/[^] http://abcnews.go.com/[^] http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/home/main100.shtml[^] I don't give a shit about Bush one way or another.

As opposed to where the right pulls all of its "news" - out of Fox's fair and balanced asses.
At the risk of sounding pedantic, it's "Fox's fair, balanced and fat arse" ;P Anna :rose: Currently working mostly on: Visual Lint :cool: Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

At least the left still has a tiny shred of intellectual honesty. The Republican party tries to convince people that they're the religious conservative response to an increasingly liberal and secular America, when they're less conservative in every respect -- but especially fiscally -- and more corrupt than any administration in my memory. Enjoy yours as well.

Actually, I was referring to the individual asses that Fox News tries to pass off as journalists, not all of whom are fat. But my statement was ambiguous, so I accept and enjoy your pedantry :).

In what way do you think it was successful for the administration?
The election in Iraq is one more step towards Iraqi self governance. Frankly we're watching something historic, if it continues. 1) the toppling of a dictator, 2) creation of a democratic form of government, 3) hand over of the country, giving it back to the citizens. I doubt there is any historic parallel. Mike "We ain't stuck on stupid." badass Lt.

And at the cost of only a few lives (well, only a few - 2,154 - of ours, anyway, and those are the only ones that count), and some inventory depletion. And the trust of the rest of the world. And the loss of civil liberties here at home. And a skyrocketing deficit. Oh, and that's a new democratic Muslim government (I guess we've at least stopped that secularism in its tracks, right Stan?). So, with the Iraqis self-governing, we can move on and do the rest of the world now.

exhibited by the rampant inflation. the deficit is only a problem in the context of the GNP. the ratio is just fine, that is why you see no inflation.

so you think it sad that we've given 25 million people the right to govern themselves as they see fit.

The best you can come up with is billing records and BJs? On the Republican side, let's start with the draft-dodging, illiterate, inarticulate, bumbling dumb-ass at the top lying us into an unnecessary war, continue with a list of actual, verifiable, not-just-accusations, legally indicted members of his staff, congress, and the rest of the party, and end with the kind of jackass that is *still* fighting the commies. I will give you Ted Kennedy, however. The man is a tribute to riding on name recognition, and an embarrassment to the Democratic party. Also, thank you for providing me, through your stellar comparisons, with a contrast between an oxymoron and a regular moron.

You're right again. But I've been pissed off all day - long before I read the posts here. The media just went ape shit today with anti-Bush reports. True or not, the timeing is far more than merely suspecious. The Times has been setting on its report for a year - and of course no one mentions that the guy who wrote it is coming out with a book on the same topic - there can be no doubt that they held it back to slam Bush given any sufficiently good news with his efforts in Iraq. I imagine they have a long list of items of similar dubious importance, but superficially sensational, waiting to be released as we go into the congressional campaign season. Important elements of the American media are nothing more than a branch of the democrat party, which itself is little more than the US wing of al qaeda. "Patriotism is the first refuge of a patriot."

There's the explanation, Stan. It's not a leftist plot, it's an author and his employer pimping a new book.
