Gotta love this one... I'm just surprised they included the word "motorcade".

Bush Motorcade Kills Cop

The 40-year-old Rio Rancho officer, whose name was not released pending notification of relatives, crashed at the Albuquerque airport at a point where a road enters an underground parking garage, said Trish Hoffman, a spokeswoman for the Albuquerque Police Department. He was pronounced dead at an Albuquerque hospital.

So a motorcycle cop died in a single vehicle crash..... meaning basically he fell. Hmm.. good thing that headline is not misleading..

^^^ Clever... the motorcade killed the cop... that's literary genius. Another budding novelist at work.

Chris Wallice offers up a nice smackdown of that NPR tool Moyers...

Chris Wallace Hits Back at Bill Moyers

WALLACE: Time now for some mail -- actually, one letter from liberal commentator Bill Moyers. You may remember in my interview with Karl Rove last Sunday, I asked him about a Moyers statement that Rove is reportedly an agnostic who manipulated the Christian right for political gain.

Well, Rove answered that he's an observant Episcopalian and Moyers, quote, "ought to do a little better research before he does another drive- by slander."

Bill Moyers didn't like that and sent me this letter, which he also posted on his Web site. He quoted four print stories for his contention that Rove is agnostic, none of which offer any proof other than what Rove supposedly told colleagues over the years.

Then Moyers wrote this. "Obviously, Rove wanted to blow smoke because his version of reality is undermined by his own previous statements and by the reporting and analysis of journalists who have done their homework and don't take his every word as gospel, no pun intended."

Well, to save on postage, Bill, here's my response. If you want to find out about someone's religious beliefs, a good first step might be to ask him.

If you had talked to Rove, as I did, you would have found out he reads a devotional every day and the biggest charitable contribution he ever made was to his church. Of course, you never called Rove.

That's reporting 101, but it would have gotten in the way of a tasty story line about a non-believer flim-flamming the Christian right. I guess, Bill, reporting is easier when you don't worry about the facts.

I usually hate Abrams... but have to give him credit for being dead on about CNN's "God's Warriors" bit. I sat through most of it and spotted it for what is was after about 10 minutes into the first installation. I did not expect MSNBC or anyone in the MSM for that matter to call her out on it.

MSNBC's Dan Abrams Slams "CNN's Holy War"

MSNBC's Dan Abrams tonight slammed CNN's "God's Warriors" as biased shoddy journalism, saying at the outset that the three-part series "was not what it claimed or promised to be." In the segment, titled "CNN's Holy war?", Abrams also said "CNN should have called it what it was, a defense of Islamic fundamentalism and the worst type of moral relativism."

According to Abrams, CNN's Christiane Amanpour, "avoided getting bogged down in objectivity."

As usual... it's ok to offend everyone in the name of free speech... but Muslims.. Who in my opinion... deserve much of the criticism directed at the radicals in their religion.

The question answers itself...

Can The MSM Be That Dumb?

As Instapundit demonstrates, yes.

Keep in mind that the New York Times is the top of the heap.

In a word... predictable.


Our Watchdog Media At Work - Craig Vs. Hsu

A search on Google News for "Larry Craig" returns 5,482 articles, mostly from the brand name mainstream news media:

Photo

Larry Craig is alleged to have made improper advances in a public bathroom. (An activity our media usually uphold as a "civil right.")

He will resign his Senate office today in disgrace.

The actual incident happened three months ago. Mr. Craig is a Senator that most people have never heard of before.

Meanwhile, a search on Google News for "Norman Hsu" returns 437 articles, and many of them are from "blogs":

Norman Hsu is alleged to have violated our campaign finance laws by funneling millions of dollars into the coffers of the Democrat party over the last three years. (Laws our media usually deem "sacrosanct.")

The money involved is very possibly from the Communist Chinese government. Hsu has been on the lam from a three year prison sentence for 15 years for stealing a million dollars.

The story involves the Democrat’s current presumptive Presidential nominee, their last Presidential nominee, and many of its best known candidates.

Moreover, the DNC and the Clintons both have had well documented problems in the past with corrupt contributors, and even several with Communist Chinese connections.

So which story would you think has more significance for the republic in the long term?

But perhaps there is some other criteria at work in the media’s decision as to what is important news.

Which is more important? (R) Who solicited sex in bathroom -OR- (D) Presidential candidate with a long history of shady campaign finance getting caught taking monies from a on the run felon? Nothing to see here... move along...

How to shape the groupthink... see MSM...


Iran's Big Plans

"We would arrest three members of the al Quds force (part of the Revolutionary Guard), and the story that would come out in the papers the next day would be, ‘Three Iranian diplomats arrested from embassy.' I'd call the folks at the papers and say, ‘Look, these folks weren't diplomats, and they weren't at an embassy. They're Iranian soldiers and they were taken while fighting against the coalition in Iraq.' I'd say to them, ‘We have evidence - from weapons to ID cards to uniforms - that proves beyond a doubt who and what they are,' and I'd offer to bring them in and walk through each piece of evidence with them.

"They'd never take me up on it, and would never correct their stories."

Good read about the war the MSM is waging against the truth.

Just over 500 days remain in this Presidency.

Consider the dead who have piled up on the battlefield.... in these last 500 days.

Consider the singular fraudulence of this President's trip to Iraq yesterday, and the singular fraudulence of the selling of The Petraeus Report... in these last 500 days.

Consider how this President has torn away at the fabric of this nation in a manner of which terrorists can only dream... in these last 500 days. And consider again how this President has spoken to that biographer: that he is "playing for October-November"… the goal in Iraq is "To get us in a position where the presidential candidates will be comfortable about sustaining a presence"… and consider how this revelation contradicts every other rationale he has offered... in these last 500 days.

In the context of all that… now, consider… these next 500 days.

Mr. Bush, our presence in Iraq must end.

Even if it means your resignation.

Even if it means your impeachment.

Even if it means a different Republican to serve out your term.

Even if it means a Democratic Congress -- and those true Patriots among the Republicans -- standing up and denying you another **penny** for Iraq, other than for the safety and the safe conduct home of our troops.

This country cannot run the risk of what you can still do to this country... in the next 500 days…

Not while you, Sir... are playing.

Good night, and good luck.
