BTW, As evidenced by the Hitler video on my blog, I have much more Treacher-envy than you do.

Thia goes a mite beyond bias.

GPW, I disagree. The extreme, professionally disgraceful bias toward Obama is ultimately about Bush. As we’ve noted many times, they hate him. He’s white, Christian, pro-American and most of all, anti-abortion. They can’t stand that and want to prevent another such grouping (McCain-Palin) at any cost.

It hasn’t helped, of course, that (1) Bush hasn’t governed domestically as a conservative and there is lots to criticize in his economic record; (2) McCain has been pretty poor at explaining to people why small government – which Bush has massively violated – helps people’s pocketbooks and is crucial to the nation’s long-term survival.

Absolutely agree. It will be a sad day when the fairness doctrine is re-instituted. But it will be fun when the FCC has to order ABCNBCNN et. al. to feature more conservative programing. Of course, if they don’t, this will wind up in the Supreme Court. If that happens…. who knows.

John McCain embodies everything that proud, patriotic, red-blooded, anti-communist American veterans of the Vietnam War embody. His life narrative is an antidote to every single “War is Hell”, “Peace”, “Bring the War Home!” movie and novel that Hollywood and the publishing industry has pumped out for two generations now.

Add to that that McCain is in a line of historic wartime admirals. That narrative should have rivaled, if not dwarfed, Obama’s “dreams” narrative in this campaign. Instead, the opposite has been the case.

No, and neither can any radio programmer or leftist scumbag who supports the Fairness Doctrine. We’ll hear dead air before we’ll hear those two shows back-to-back, and that’s exactly what the left wants.

Really, is there anything they won’t do in the name of The One?

That’s it right there. Obama has already done more to squelch free speech than Bush ever did, and we haven’t even had an election yet. If he wins, will the media still be content as his lapdogs after they see how little he appreciates all their help?

I don’t, and I’m black.

Quality matters more to me than skin tone. I think people say it’s a historic moment because they HAVE to, not because they believe it. That’s why I feel O is more the Affirmative Action President than a President who happens to be black. And O has shown absolutely NO EXPERIENCE to be a leader. And when he shows that, people will learn that History is more than just a technicality – it’s the story before and after that technicality that matters.

It hasn’t helped, of course, that (1) Bush hasn’t governed domestically as a conservative and there is lots to criticize in his economic record; (2) McCain has been pretty poor at explaining to people why small government – which Bush has massively violated – helps people’s pocketbooks and is crucial to the nation’s long-term survival.

With so many journalists losing their jobs because more than half of America thinks they’re not doing their job, the Fairness Doctrine would guarantee many of these ineffectual Left-wing sucks ups employment because private media outlets will be forced to hire them by law. Imagine, if you will, a world where the National Review would be forced to hire Liz Winstead, Randi Rhodes or Al Franken.

I doubt the Village Voice or Mother Jones will be forced to return the favor to conservative writers.

Can you imagine the Rush Limbaugh show immediately followed up by Jeanine Garofalo?
