Hanson, Steyn, Coulter... name a writer on the left that can hold a candle to any them. Another great commentary from Hanson. He puts a sharp stick right in CBS's lying "eye".

I am glad to have known before Rathergate.
Imagine the shock of finding out your "friends" on TV and in "hometown" papers have been deceiving you - after election 2000, 911, and after over 18 months of daily spinning re. Iraq?
I felt so guilty about Vietnam - for having betrayed our veterans by believing Walter Cronkite and Hollywood lies.
We didn't have access to the primary sources then.
We may need a national period of mourning, forgiveness, to get beyond this latest national shame - the latest betrayal of all we hold dear by our own mighty free press, and those who bought the slickly packaged lies.
...millions of Americans learned long ago that there are probably more liberals on Fox than conservatives on PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, and NBC combined — and the former are honest about politics in a way the latter are not.
Beautiful. Hanson at his best.
No, Cromwell was not a good guy. But it was a great line.
BTTT.
VDH is always good, but this one is especially good.
I pray that it is so.
I absolutely love this guys mind. I can't imagine the pleasure I'd have being a student in his class.
Cromwell was not a good guy but he did one great thing. He reversed the policy of forbidding Jews to live in England. This act led to England, and ultimately America, becoming a sanctuary for Jews who otherwise might have perished, first in the pogroms and later in the Holocaust. An underappreciated act of extraordinary importance.
WOW!!! This rocks!
The U.N. also seems to be going the way of CBS. Only a little over a quarter of our citizenry feels that the organization reflects American values. Kofi Annan was blind to the greatest financial scandal of our time, one that contributed to the deaths of thousands in Iraq and enriched cronies, including perhaps his own son. He survives only because a biased media has judged that his progressivism warrants shielding him from the type of scrutiny afforded Halliburton.
Under Mr. Annan, the U.N. won't say a word about Tibet or do anything about the thousands butchered in Africa — how can it when murdering states such as Cuba, Algeria, and Iran are on its committees overseeing human rights? Kofi Annan's U.N. has lost its ideals, become counterfeit, and thus is now mostly irrelevant.
Especially the first line of that paragraph-
But in the process there also began a professional devolution, as questionable legal and ethical methods were excused in the name of the greater good.
Absolutely dead on. And scary. And we have been LIVING with this ideology from our MSM for a LONG TIME.
Thank GOD for the internet, talk radio and Fox News and writers like the author of this article and their publishers, who so clearly nail the deception.
It almost hurts to see these truths in print.
It makes you want to cry out:
"WHAT TOOK SO DAMN LONG?"
The purging will have to come from within - Republicans can't do it. It is high time for the party of Scoop Jackson, Hubert Humphrey, and Harry Truman to find its soul again after a nightmare tramp through the swamp of postmodern nihilism, courtesy of the folks - the Clintons, the Kerrys - who imagined they were freeing the world when they spit on the troops lo those many years ago. It will not be easy. They are at the high arc of their political careers and will not go quietly.
Hillary in particular intends to resurrect their effort four years hence. That, I suspect, will represent the final battle for the soul of a generation. The battle-lines are being drawn in this election, the veterans have awakened and are discovering that at last they have a voice, and the forces that shouted them down thirty years ago are surprised and shaken, but not defeated. This is going to be a long struggle.
In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
Now when the FR Poster came to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way
I'm taking my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Danny, the King of Media
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard.
Simon and Garfunkel bump ;-)
Don't forget the goober farmer.

Great stuff!
Thanks for the heads up!
