Media Bias Roundup - 06/13/08
Jun 13th, 2008 by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Happy Friday the 13th! 
On that note, Small Dead Animals has this: Y2Kyoto: Everything Cold Is Warm Again.
The Anchoress has this from kusi.com: John Coleman’s Comments Before the San Diego Chamber of Commerce. In my opinion, Al Gore has scammed the planet into dire straights - and also in my opinion, it is all for money and power, an absolute farce perpetrated for personal gain and to control and repress Americans specifically… Revenge of the Gorical.
I couldn’t agree more with Bookworm: It’s not God’s will any more *UPDATED*.
Friends of Mark Fuhrman also points us to this article at American Thinker: Losing the Information War with Amendment 56. Key excerpt:
The Democrats are angry. Despite investing enormous effort undermining the military, things are going fairly well in Iraq. General Petraeus and the surge have been a success, not that you would know that from the media coverage, which has been, to say the least, sparse. The anti-Bush themes of an “Iraqi quagmire” and “surge failure” were premature, and all the congressional show hearings, the choreographed Code Pink performance art and the MoveOn.org smears were for naught. The president and the military did it right, and the Democrats got it wrong.
Now it’s time for Democrats to change the subject, to distract the public, to pretend the dire predictions and the hysterics were about something else entirely, and hope the short memory of the electorate kills the issue by November.
It’s also time for a little vengeance on the Pentagon.
Good news is given to us from The Anchoress today: Breakthrough: Adult Stem Cells & Parkinson’s. This is especially good news for my friend Bill Bauers in CA - he was a Navy Seal and has been a quadriplegic for years. One of the bravest men I have ever known and I’d like to take this opportunity to personally thank Duncan Hunter who answered my letter and is helping Bill with in-home care. Sir, you should have been President…
Also a great quote given to us from The Anchoress:
“Men are ruled, at this minute by the clock,
by liars who refuse them news,
and by fools who cannot govern.”
– G.K. Chesterton, “The New Name” 1917
