"I listened to NPR Radio this morning and discovered... bias! The host Renee Montagne talked with John Ridley about his quest to be a "swing voter" in the fall election. He has moved from LA to Milwaukee where he will vote. He will be interviewed from now until the election as he sarcastically bashes both Kerry and Bush with, IMO, a strong emphasis on bashing Bush.
This morning for example the only "good" thing he had to say about Bush was that Bush cut his taxes and "how could he be against that?". Maybe I'm being oversensitive, but it sounded sarcastic to me. He also professed agnosticism on memogate, a sign of either willful ignorance or deceit.
In any case, he was presented as a swing voter who has voted for both republicans and democrats. But his record in opensecrets.org looks a little different. If he is really "RIDLEY, JOHN LOS ANGELES,CA 90069 SELF EMPLOYED/OTHER", then his donations are:
3/23/2004 $500 Kerry, John and 1/21/2004 $500 Clark, Wesley
Does that sound like an unbiased swing voter to you?

PRINCETON, NJ -- In a new Gallup Poll, conducted Sept. 13-15, President George W. Bush leads Democratic candidate John Kerry by 55% to 42% among likely voters, and by 52% to 44% among registered voters. These figures represent a significant improvement for Bush since just before the beginning of the Republican National Convention.
In a day when docu-fiction is the rule and the Dirty Rat Michael Mooron is the standard bearer for the Stone-age press then we will play by their rules. Dan Rather is guilty until he can prove himself innocent and in this case it is very likely true. If Kitty Kelly can drudge up sludge with no proof from 30 years ago then we have more than enough proof to consider Dan Rather-guilty. This was the co-ordinated attack from the DNC to damage our President for the Yaaaawn Kerry campaign.
Forging military documents is a criminal offense although someone as powerful as Rather won’t be convicted like one of us would. This was a powerful man using the power of the Mainstream media and the clout of 60 Minutes to topple a government. 60 Minutes was the foundation of investigative TV and has 30 years of distinguished journalism behind it. Unfortunately we got a glimpse into how honest that journalism is. This was the rule rather than the exception as we got a glimpse of their sources, especially the anonymous variety. This time his hatred and desparation made him go off the abyss and into the complete fabrication of evidence. How could he not notice the Kinko’s Fax return line??? Nice that they whited that out before they put it on their Webpage which added 15 mins to Howlin & Cos exposure!
If Dino-Dan thinks that W should answer questions from false evidence then Dan needs to answer questions about why he used forged evidence. His charges have absolutely no substance but these charges are valid. So Dan, why did you put these forged documents and signatures of a dead Military Officer on your news program??
This is what happens when 95% of the Stone-age press worships at the feet of moral relitivists like bull clinton. The art of “spin”, or lies as it was called pre-clinton becomes varying degrees of lying. GW has the truth on his side just as the Swifties do. Yaaaawn Tax & Kerry and DNCBS only have lies on their side and must hide from the issues. In comes this mudslinging story and the high risk phony documents that are scrutinized by the Inter-news. The evidence gets blown away in a matter of minutes and the fraud is exposed to the entire world. It’s a new day and the Fathers of Freedom would be proud.
Dano-saur Rather-guilty can resign and DNCBS can apologize to the country for their criminal activity but it won’t matter. The Stone-age press has exposed itself for the Rat spokesman that it is and will never be believed again. They can pretend to be more balanced but whenever they use their well worn phrases, “sources inside the .....” ears will hear “false documents” and a huge mountain of salt will be added. For Dan, he needs to take his own advice and, “answer the charges!” In the Michael Mooron, Kitty Katty world, your found guilty unless you can prove yourself innocent!
Pray for W and The Truth
Was that the morning the Sun rose in the East?

This is not about voter fraud...this is fraud by NPR. How can they interview for months someone who is supposedly "undecided" as the voice of the "undecided" voter when he has contributed to Senator Kerry.. He is a Kerry partisan. Plain and simple...That is the fraud I am talking about.
Speaking of NPR, their website and that paragon of objectivity, Diane Rehm, are saying that the candidates are in a "statistical dead heat", according to the latest poll from Pew Research Center.
The only thing that's dead is between someone's ears at NPR.
I admit I listen to NPR, mostly for their musical programming. Enough to know that Pew Charitible Trust is frequently mentioned as a major underwriter of NPR programming.
And even their own website admits that "The Pew Research Center is supported by The Pew Charitable Trusts". Sheesh!!!
Does anyone know the email addys of major media people like Howard Kurtz etc?
Thanks
Message from Iraq
The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute To our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is By taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country." Semper Fi 1stSgt Dave Jobe

The Dems and/or the Kerry Campaign recently circulated requests to their faithful in the Badger State to help with giving transient voters like this someplace to live when they arrive in Wisconsin.
It's very expensive, they noted.
With Wisconsin's taxes, is it any wonder? And which party ran up those taxes the most with their Big-Gee Government programs?
Found out that the people at du have compiled a media list, we might as well take advantage of it.
