  • Re: A sorry state

    Curragh makes a similar point to mine, only better and more concisely, and provokes a longer, more confused reply from jsgilm. One that attempts to refute the charge of jingoistic irrelevance with a fresh dose of, er, jingoistic irrelevance. According to which, literary recognition is but ''a sort of phantom strength'', a poor surrogate for ...

  • I am sick of the disinformation

    Let me open by saying I am a staunch LIbertarian. Any person who would in any official capacity is abhorrent to me. I have researched this banning book charge against Palin and it is baseless. She asked the question of a local school librarian at a PTA meeting once ''Are there any books you would ban?'' A simple question during a discussion ...

  • Hey Jack, swallow McCain-memes much?

    The press doesn't ''love'' Obama. This is McCain-camp manufactured bs. And you swallowed it hook line and sinker. Where in the hell have you been?? Were you comatose the entire months of March and April, when the press piled on? Or how about August, when the press spent the month parroting cheapshots from McCain attacks? The entire premise of ...

  • Slate needs to pretend to be balanced at least

    Ok, we've established that Lithwick is a hack with a dull axe. That doesn't necessarily disqualify it from the Slate, at least not in its earlier incarnations, with diaries of odd people doing interesting things, disparate viewpoints arguing, or at least posting arguments, and so on. It was run by liberals, but those liberals not only said they ...

  • What happens if you fall into a black hole?

    So far, I have only heard that scientists say that this would be ''extremely unlikely to happen''. Is this enough? If there is even a billionth of a chance that this could happen, why are they being allowed to use this thing? Even if there is very little chance you will be struck by lightning, if you are, you will most likely die. I am not ...

  • Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

    Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it. Such bias often refers to media as a whole, such as a newspaper chain, or a given television or radio network, instead of individual reporters or writers of television ...

  • Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

    How the Media Vote. Surveys of journalists’ self-reported voting habits show them backing the Democratic candidate in every presidential election since 1964, including landslide losers George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis. In 2004, a poll conducted by the University of Connecticut found journalists backed John Kerry over George W. ...

  • MoveOn.org, Progressive Promise, John Edwards Affair…

    Looking over the MoveOn.org site, they seem to focus on their progressive promise of our country. What does that mean? Progressive Promise? Ever taken a good look at the progressive socialist movement? It starts out as the people’s party with the ideals of hope and change, the desire to save the country and the environment. And where does it end ...

  • Re: Put Obama on the spot with his lies-Part 2

    Obama misleads and LIES on Oil Profits Speaking to a town hall meeting on July 31, 2008. Barack Obama tries to slant the money made by the oil industry as being bad. What he once again neglected, ignored, chose not to mention on purpose is the record amount of money the United States Government has raked in from Exxon. Once again the politicians ...

  • Again, what is Slate's agenda?

    Earlier this month we were treated to a discussion about the most effective ways of attacking Barack Obama. Now we are treated to a discussion about how John McCain can somehow convince people that he isn't tied at the wrists and ankles to the worst president in modern history, a president he has supported 95% of the time. What, exactly, is going ...
