THE (DAMN) LIBERAL PRESS — by Steve Nadis
Hi folks — back in town with lots on my mind. Here’s the first of what I hope will be a number of short missives: Those (damn) conservatives love to rail about the “liberal press,” “media bias,” and the like. This morning, in NPR’s so-called “news analysis,” Cokie Roberts discussed Republican plans to turn (once again) the terrorist threat to their advantage. Instead of calling Dick Cheney’s argument that Ned Lamont’s victory will promote terrorism the load of crap that it is, Roberts gave credence to that inane (insane?) remark, saying that this issue could indeed hurt the Democrats who are traditionally viewed as “weak on defense.” How’s that for world-class news analysis? (Note to NPR: Why not cut out the middleman and hire Dick Cheney outright?) And how’s that for liberal bias in the media? I’m not what you’d call a praying man, but God help us if it were any less liberal.

Welcome back Snake, glad you had a nice trip. And yes, we really need to thank Cokie and the rest of the wise D.C. “inside” press for all their great work over the past few years. Why question administration officials on any of their talking points, doesn’t our great success in Iraq speak for itself?
Yes, Doc, it speaks volumes.
