We will not give up! A Defiant Joseph Farah Fights for Capitol Hill Accreditation

[Interesting Times]

A "leftists are tolerant and love diversity" bump...

[Skeet]

How is this committee selected? To whom do they report? How were they given the authority to limit access? Who gave them the authority to make these decisions?

I will verify these answers but for now this may suffice. Their accredited peers select them. They report to the Senate Rules Committee. Congress gave them the authority and it has been upheld in court. Congress has granted them this authority.

Again, I will verify but from what I gathered at the meeting, these answers are probably correct.

As for attacking all levels, there are procedures and legal precedence that must be followed. Richard Ackerman and WND are doing everything in their power to get this resolved in their favor.

This committee should be disbanded. There should be no body which keeps anyone from gaining access to Congress for the purpose of reporting.

Disagree. There has to be some sort of quality control, else you'll have wackjob "reporters" from the newsletters of, say, Maoist International or the KKK being issued press passes.

And what's wrong with that? Xinhua and WAFA are among the totalitarian propaganda arms licensed by the Senate press police. Its time to put it out of business.

[LurkerNoMore!]

Thanks, FRNetwork Operations Team, for the indepth report.

[LurkerNoMore!]

This will get your dander up.

The committee of swine.

I know what you mean... I used to go there every day.

I've always been an atheist myself and I try not to be bigoted about it. Evolution through natural selection makes sense to me in the same way and for many of the same reasons that free markets make sense. The idea that Darwinism is a leftist (== authoritarian, one-world, etc) "agenda" is so bogus and half-baked and flat out kooky that it leaves a bad taste reading their other stuff.

Natural selection is a profound argument for how *unnatural* statist ideas are. Stable large scale order is an unintended consequence, not centrally produced on purpose.

But -- BUMP for WorldNetDaily making their case here and winning!!!

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Thank you for the report! Stay on this one and let us know how we can help.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

A Big WorldNetDaily bump!

There has to be some sort of quality control

Yeah. It's worked so well so far. Not.

[Nick Danger]

Bump

[Jefferson Adams]

I'd feel better about Farah and WND if they didn't so blindly support that Intellegent Design hogwash.

LOL - "blindly" you say? HAHAHA. You got a problem with Truth, bud?

[IronJack]

How is it that a gaggle of leftist sycophants and Gramscian lickspittles have become gatekeepers at the Halls of Congress??? And how does that fact serve the Handmaiden of Liberty, i.e., the Fourth Estate? Whether the elitist overlords recognize it or not, the Internet is the future of journalism in this country, and we will take by force of public sentiment what we are not "granted" by the trembling aristocrats.
