Who's going to sue over the fact that such bias constitutes an illegal campaign contribution?

Nobody, but that contribution is enormous.

There is no word whatsoever of this event in my local Sunday newspaper (no surprise, as it is wholly owned by the New York Times).

As an aside, their feature front page article today is an entire page (five-column spread) on the 911 Ommission hearings. But, not a single word about the bombshell Ashcroft testimony (he's not even mentioned), the "wall" memo, the "post-millenium" memo, or Jamie Gorelick and her refusal to resign and testify. On the other hand, blame is heavily troweled on the Bush Administration and "confusion" within the CIA and FBI. But, the Clinton Administration is credited with heroically trying to get bin Laden despite all the obstacles (specifics unnamed). A large bloc of space was breathlessly given to the Clarke testimony and his damnation of President Bush's lack of concern over the terror threat. Oh, and lots on the August 8th PDB Memo, with repeat after repeat of the full title.

This isn't just lame writing, it's criminal. People reading our paper are being denied the facts and fed crap. How can citizens make any kind of a valid judgment when they are not getting all the facts but instead get a cleverly crafted web of innuendos, lies and false conclusions?

He who defines the terms of the debate wins every time, and news organizations have been dominated by leftists for quite a while. Local papers are usually pretty conservative by comparison, but the sheer volume overwhelms. Leftists dominate Academia too, that's no secret. And hollywood.

However, facts are stubborn things. Notice the left starts screeching to a fever pitch when they don't have de facto control over the organs of information dissemination. I am a Liberal, but in the classical sense. The hard core leftists today is the most intolerant authoritarian bastard you'll ever want to meet, since they cannot compete in the arena of ideas and reasoned logical discourse, they use deceit and trickery and every dirty method in the book to advance their agenda, without any input or consultation from you, the citizen of your own country. For a good overview of their methods, I _strongly_ encourage you to Google "The Delphi Technique" and "Saul Alinsky" "Rules for Radicals"; the mistake normal folks make is believing that in our form of government and representative democracy that people will play by the rules and listen to reason and seek the truth. Nothing could be further from that, truth, the only thing they care about is power and using it.
