[all look alike to me]

MIAMI — House Rep. Henry Bonilla, a founding member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (search), has taken back his demand that Rep. Corrine Brown (search) resign her seat in Congress for remarks she made accusing the Bush administration of racism in its Haiti policy.

But even after Bonilla accepted Brown's apology, he said the fact that her comments raised few hackles demonstrates a double standard among Democratic Party members.

"If a Republican had made such derogatory, insulting and discriminatory remarks there would be a firestorm of outrage. The current silence is deafening," Bonilla, R-Texas, said. "If we truly advocate zero tolerance for racism, then we must insist the statement be addressed."

Brown, D-Fla., issued an apology on Thursday for remarks she made a day earlier when she said Hispanics and whites "all look alike to me."

Activists make poor journalists

BY BILL O'REILLY, CREATORS SYNDICATE  

A few weeks ago, I opined that partisan journalism was getting out of control in America and that ideological fanaticism was badly damaging journalistic standards because, in some cases, facts were being altered to fit the agendas of certain reporters and commentators. Now comes more disturbing news about the news.

According to an article in The New York Times Magazine, an unpublicized meeting was held in New York City early last December attended by Sen. John Kerry and a number of liberal-leaning journalists, including CNN's Jeff Greenfield, Newsweek's Jonathan Alter, Richard Cohen of The Washington Post and Frank Rich of the aforementioned New York Times.

Now this powwow might have been just an innocent "get to know you" soiree, but there are hints it might have been quite something else. One of the attendees, Jim Kelly, managing editor of Time magazine, was quoted as saying that Kerry was asked a number of times about his vote on Iraq, and, according to Kelly, "by the third go-round the answer was getting shorter and more relevant."

The "third go-round"? That sounds like coaching to me, but I could be wrong. Maybe the senator simply wasn't making himself clear. What I'm not wrong about is that more than a few so-called journalists have turned into "activists": people who are dedicating themselves to getting a certain party or person elected and are using their positions in the news media to do it.

There is nothing wrong with news organizations' endorsing a candidate or a columnist's writing about his or her political preferences. But actively participating in political campaigns by coaching candidates and strategizing with them is absolutely against every journalistic standard, and it is happening, usually under the radar.

Kerry invited me to his Nantucket home a couple of years ago, and I went over to chat with the senator and meet his wife. Nice time. We both have deep New England roots, and that's what we talked about. I stayed away from politics, and so did he. Nothing wrong with a journalist getting a personal look at a senator.

But let's face it, with the rise of entertainers such as Rush Limbaugh and other radio talk show people who openly root for the Republicans, those on the left feel they are at a disadvantage. Thus we now have that vacuum being filled by some opinion journalists who never met a left-wing cause they didn't espouse. Again, fanatical news analysts are permitted, even though they're boring. But crossing the line into actively helping a political campaign cannot be tolerated by any news operation.

The exposure of the liberal journalists who met with Kerry received scant attention from the media. Can you image if executives of The Fox News Channel, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Times had gathered at Camp David for a little slap and tickle with W.? And if nobody were told about it? And if The New York Times were to find out about it? Can you say "page-1 bold-face headline"?

So, you as a news consumer should know that American journalism is becoming increasingly partisan and that ideologues on both the right and the left have infiltrated the news business at very high levels. But remember this: Passionate news analysis is one thing, and abusing the public trust is quite something else.

The news media sometimes go to ludicrous lengths to blame Bush for the sins of his predecessor. A story on the MSNBC Web site March 24 took Bush to task for not having acted against al-Qaida in 1998, when Bush was governor of Texas. In a story that same day, the New York Daily News moved the attack on the USS Cole to "early 2001," during the Bush presidency, when in fact it happened on Oct. 12, 2000.

Americans already have plenty of reasons to distrust the "news" they are being given. They'll have plenty more before November.

The BBC Consigns an Embarrassment to the Memory Hole
March 28th, 2004

The American Thinker has caught the BBC in the act of trying to cover up an instance of their bias, which we reported earlier today in an article entitled BBC Linguistic Double Standards. Shortly after we publicized this case of BBC anti-Israel bias, they broke the link we provided, and re-wrote and renumbered the offensive article. This is a new, sanitized version. The specific language we cited has been removed completely.

Of course, the $5bn tax-funded BBC overlooked the possibility of saving the story on our $20 hard-drive. We can still bring you the proof of the editorial dirty tricks the BBC employ on a daily basis. Here is the original BBC story...

[not far from a child’s trampoline.]

From the Columbus Dispatch:

Residents fatally injure intruders in break-in attempts
One attacker shot, another stabbed, according to police
http://www.dispatch.com/news-story.php?sto...0330-C3-01.html

Homeowners protect themselves using either a knife or a gun....look what the reporters says about one of the men who was shot:

When police arrived, they found Rollins D. Banks, the resident, and another male, the teen, with gunshot wounds.
Both were taken to Grant Medical Center, where they underwent surgery, police said.
A third man was found shot to death in the back yard, not far from a child’s trampoline.

The Media's Bias Towards Racism
by Kevin McCullough

I asked a caller on my radio show, "So if Christopher Dodd makes openly supportive remarks of a former KKK member, you believe its ok to give him a pass because he is a democrat?" Dave, an African American caller responded, "of course..."

"I'd be happy to give him [oral sex] just to thank him for keeping abortion legal."

Those were the enlightening words uttered by former Time contributor and White House correspondent Nina Burleigh in an interview in Mirabella magazine, as reported by Howard Kurtz in a Washington Post Article. However, it was learned on 07/16/98 that her comment was a little different from that. Nina Burleigh has now filled in what word she really used in the spot the Post bracketed and revealed her next sentence to Kurtz, that he did not share with readers.

 Her full quote: "I would be happy to give him a %$#@!& just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think American women should be lining up with their presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs."

So women should all break out their kneepads. Sorry Nina, I think we'll pass on your "%$#@ the President" suggestion. Not all American women live by your standards - or lack thereof.

Racial Double Standard for Student Writer?

COVALIS, Oregon — Barred from writing columns for the Oregon State University Daily Barometer, senior David Williams is in the eye of a storm some call a racial double standard.
 
The newspaper's editor fired him after he wrote: "I think blacks should be more careful in deciding whom they choose to support. They need to grow beyond the automatic reaction of defending someone because he or she shares the same skin color and is in a dilemma."

Williams, who is white, was referring to examples such as when singer R. Kelly (search), who is accused of being a child pornographer, received a standing ovation at the Soul Train Music Awards. He also cited past support for O.J. Simpson (search) and Allen Iverson (search).

"I guess this case has shown me that just because I'm a different skin color, the merits of what I wrote have been marginalized and ostracized to the point that I'm labeled everything in the book like racist, Nazi," Williams said.

A similar article, written just two days earlier by Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Leonard Pitts (search) drew no such outrage. Pitts, who is black, wrote: "Blacks ought to be more thoughtful about whom they choose to rally around, ought to be less automatic in leaping to the defense."

Although Williams admits he read Pitts' article before writing his own, he wasn't fired for plagiarism. And he was canned only after protests erupted on campus.

But, evidently cowed by political correctness, you've ignored the most vital issues.

Did USA Today advance a moderately capable journalist because he was white? Did some white editor mentor him out of racial solidarity even though Kelley was unqualified? In light of this fiasco, should we re- examine the de facto affirmative action that gives white men preferential treatment in our newsrooms?

The media can’t hide their true feelings...

Left Eye’s View
John O'Sullivan

"Objectively considered, the U.N.'s "Oil-for-Food" scandal is a far bigger story, implicating not one international statesman but about two dozen, and involving not the abuse of suspected terrorists but the starvation of children. Interestingly, the media has been happy to forget it entirely in all their excitement over Abu Ghraib."

This is by far the worst case of media bias I have ever seen because......I'M THE TARGET. Follow the link. None other than this mild mannered CCW advocate was blasted by the Disptach Editorial Board. Nothing like having the only newspaper in the State's Capitol single me out by name!
