100 Notable Books of the Year

New York Tiimes ^ | 1/1/2005 | Me

[filly]

These books were all on the list and considered some of the most notable of 2004: "Against All Enemies", "Chain of Command", "My Life", "Plan of Attack", "STRANGERS: Homosexual Love in the Nineteenth Century" and "THE SURRENDER: An Erotic Memoir."

Not one positive book about President Bush. Most obvious is the omission of "Unfit for Command" the book that influenced the election more than any other book that came out in 2004. It is yet another example of the liberal bias that stifles the truth in the MSM.

I would say "Unbelievable" but, sadly, THAT would be unbelievable.

[mainepatsfan]

I would have been stunned if it was included by them!

Does anyone intellectually honest ever ask themselves if BY CHANCE the New York Times can see this about themselves? I mean someone must be smoking something that impairs impartial judgement. Why does anyone bother to read a paper with such open BIAS. I noticed in Europe in the airports there were no books that spoke positive about George W. Lotz ah books about Kerry and Teresa.

I kinda figured these bozos would actually move to the center after the election to try and boost their circulation which is getting beat up. Is it my imagination that they actually went further left? They have been particularly bad the last 2 weeks or so.

Is there a single breathing human being on this blog that actually thought UFC would be on the list? Raise your hand.

I just heard Thomas Frank on CSpan. He wrote "What's the matter with Kansas?" This is a book that claims that conservative have manipulated people in the Red states and tricked them into voting Republican. He just said on CSpan that the notion that the media has a liberal bias is just a "myth."

Media bias a "myth"???!!! Has he seen the NYT's book list??

[bahblahbah]

Do they even see their bias? Has anyone ever asked Safire if he knew the paper he worked for was just a DNC mouthpiece?

[Mears]

I read "What's the Matter with Kansas"-----a very good book.

Quite interesting,whether you agree with Franks' conclusions or not.

The libs are totally perplexed by the behaviour of people that "should" be Democrats but are voting Republican.

[Bahbah]

"He just said on CSpan that the notion that the media has a liberal bias is just a "myth."

Then he's not a very intelligent or discerning guy, is he.

[goldstategop]

Liberals won't admit they have one. That's the difference between them and us. At least I am honest and proud to acknowledge who I am and where I stand.

[True Republican Patriot]

NO! Totally Believable and GOD BLESS the Swiftvets for telling the Truth and Helping Save Our Country.

<<"What's the matter with Kansas?" This is a book that claims that conservative have manipulated people in the Red states and tricked them into voting Republican. He just said on CSpan that the notion that the media has a liberal bias is just a "myth.">>

This "author" is a prime example of why the Democrats lost the 2004 election. A combination of unrestrained arrogance in what they consider their superiority ("Bush couldn't have won on the merits...there's an explanation, just let us make one up"), and pathetic denial as to the long-lost objectivity and respect of the old media.

Living in Massachusetts as I do (pity me...I could write a BOOK on liberal goings-on here), I can tell you there are large groups of people who go through life with this mindset. I say groups, because that is how this insanity remains alive. Any individual who thinks for him/her self would see through the haze.

bias of the lamestream media

[filly]

Yes, if I recall he's puzzled why people would vote their values and not their pocketbooks. They don't get it and I hope they continue in their blissful ignorance for many elections to come.

[Mears]

You're right,filly,his entire premise was based on economics. The libs just don't get it.

[filly]

I too live in Massachusetts. I work in Cambridge and ride past Noam Chomsky's office every day. I passed a guy in Harvard square talking about Bushhitler and how the CIA was spying on all of us. The stores display all kinds of anti-bush political signs including one that says "Re-defeat Bush 04" and "No blood for oil."

[LostInBayport]

<>. Yes, one of the joys of living in Massachusetts. This is what really got me about all of the censorship of Christmas this past year. If people think they have a right to have anything that 'offends' them removed from their presence, can't I make all of the liberals take those offensive anti-Bush bumper stickers off their cars? If I had a dollar for every one of those I had to see this year...I could BUY a new car with the grand total! Some cars up here in Massachusetts are literally wallpapered with these insipid left-wing slogans. I keep wanting to get a big 'W' of some kind to put on my dash when I'm stuck behind them in traffic. ;)

thankfully, Al Gore invented the internet so we don't depend on the MSM anymore.

THANX AGAIN AL! /sarcasm
