Dang! Skinned By F'right Dingers Ultraperceptivity Again!
Kerry rumor tests media's standardsDrudge says "major media ought to be ashamed of themselves" for not pursuing a "red-hot story."So on one of those rare occasions when journalistic ethics actually put in an appearance, and the mainstream press refuse to run with a "story" based on a completely unverified report on the internet by a known right wing hit prick, turns out that it obviously proves left wing media bias. Man, these right wing hit pricks are looking and sounding more and more like evil Toons ta me every day.
Limbaugh says the media are guilty of a double standard. "Just as the White House's denials that Bush was AWOL from the National Guard seemed to raise more questions than they answered in the mainstream press," the denials by Kerry and Polier "raise more questions than they answer" and should be pursued, he says in an e-mail to USA TODAY.

Search4Blogs The Me What I Am I took the name Phaedrus from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Not that I'm as smart as that Phaedrus, but I am a ghost. Sort of. I started doing odd jobs at a motel when I was 14. I lasted one day at a McDonald's, quit, lasted a lot longer at Taco Bell. I've been a gas station attendant, janitor, die cast production worker, day laborer, course maintenance at a miniature golf course, warehouse, union janitor, cabbie, statistical clerk, pool cleaner, working homeless for a few weeks (day labor), and several other things I can't remember. And I've survived. Sort of. I'm not a Marxist, but I am a genuine member of the lumpen proletariat. Largely paraphrasing the secular saint Woody Guthrie: "This shit is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 000000 (cuz this part's not true), for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught using it without my permission, will be considered mighty good friends o' mine, cause I don't give a dern. Publish it. Twist it. Rewrite it. Swing to it. I wrote it, that's all I wanted to do."  This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. |
