I think Korn is gay....isn't he?

If he is isnt, then Vandenheuvel is enough to cause him to change or at the least give up sex.

Time magazine's Matthew Cooper married longtime Clinton adviser Mandy Grunwald in November 1997. Hillary Clinton even threw Grunwald a baby shower at the White House in July 1998. At the time Cooper was covering presidential politics for Newsweek.

I liked this line:

"We hear every day about ‘separation of church and state;’ how about ‘separation of political bias and journalism’"

The MSN is NOT mainstream!

Let's call it "Adware Journalism"

The NYT and their sick companions are fortresses of liberal bias, attaching themselves to news stories with a killer mission, like an unwanted virus on your computer, or an adware file.

Their hidden bias reeks once identified!

Journalistic bias should be identified so the reader is made aware that a partisan hack is penning a partisan hack story.

Adware journalism is slowing America as we know it, to an overloaded halt. Just look for example, how the courts are being used to promote the homosexual agenda, and the secular materialist pov.

It's beginning to smell like a Clinton conspiracy to bring down President Bush. Just look at all the players on the left side that have been identified so far: there is an alarming "6 degrees of separation" among them.

Doing a little digging, I found this gem:

Do you remember Bob Packwood, the randy Senator from Oregon? As the Senate Ethics Committee was preparing to do their job regarding the sexual harassment charges against him -- which is a polite way of saying they were getting ready to bury those charges and sweep the issue under the rug until after the next election -- an ad appeared on the Federal Page of The Washington Post.

This was a quarter page ad. It ran once. It ran in only one newspaper in America. It was placed by Mandy Grunwald, who is a political consultant, she mostly works for Democrats and she mostly does television. The principal text of her message was: 'If your boss stuck his tongue in your mouth, would he keep his job? Only in the United States Senate.'*

She placed this one ad. She got tons, I mean tons of earned media. It was the top news story every half hour on CNN for 24 hours. That evening it was, if not the lead, it was a top news story on every evening news program in America. Grunwald was on Night Line that night with Ted Koppel. She was on every talk show in America within a week. Every time she went on, they showed the ad and then asked her to talk about it.

Interestingly, the entire ad was just text, no graphics. That was somewhat surprising to us when it came in because we got an order for an ad from Mandy Grunwald who was noted for the television she creates. With her, wow, we could just imagine what kind of visuals she was going to have about Bob Packwood's sexual harassment charges. It turns out that the lack of a picture works. My wife is a psychiatrist, so I'll use a technical term. What you had was a kind of a Rorschach test. The viewer sees what he wants and can read into that a great many things. Your mind fills in the blanks. What does your boss look like? 'Picture your boss here' is what this ad says.

* not just there, apparently

Journalists on Clinton White House Payroll?

Ever since commentator Armstrong Williams admitted he took $280,000 to promote the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind policy, reporters have been pretending that they're "shocked, shocked!" that any journalist would compromise his objectivity so blatantly.

The latest target is marriage expert Maggie Gallagher, who on Wednesday found herself in the crosshairs of Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz. Kurtz was questioning fees she collected for research performed for the Health and Human Services Administration.


Apparently Mr. Kurtz and the rest of the media ethics posse slept through the 1990s, when a number of reporters with much higher profiles than Williams and Gallagher supplemented their incomes with checks from the Clinton White House.

CBS News in particular seemed to have no qualms about some fairly blatant conflicts of interest, having Rita Braver and Linda Douglas cover the White House even though they both had financial relationships with the Clinton administration.

Braver's husband, Robert Barnett, who was the Clintons' Whitewater lawyer when Braver was assigned to the White House beat in late 1992, reportedly recused himself from his role as first-family attorney.

But in July 1993, Barnett was still up to his eyeballs in the Whitewater scandal, traveling to the White House after Vince Foster's death to collect papers investigators later said had been removed surreptitiously from Foster's office.

Barnett continued working for the Clintons in another capacity, as book agent, successfully negotiating $20 million worth of book deals for Bill and Hillary – beginning with Mrs. Clinton's 1998 screed, "Dear Socks, Dear Buddy" and continuing through Mr. Clinton's "My Life" last year.

Unless Barnett kept his Clinton paychecks isolated from the household budget, Ms. Braver likely benefited from the White House jackpot more than Williams and Gallagher put together – times 10!

If Ms. Braver ever mentioned her financial relationship to the White House during her news broadcasts, we missed it.

Braver is far from the only high-profile media personality whose spouse was on the Clinton payroll.

Time magazine's Matthew Cooper married longtime Clinton adviser Mandy Grunwald in November 1997. Hillary Clinton even threw Grunwald a baby shower at the White House in July 1998. At the time Cooper was covering presidential politics for Newsweek.

CNN's Christiane Amanpour married Clinton State Department spokesman Jamie Rubin in August 1998. Though Rubin presumably shared his administration paycheck with his new bride, the financial link was never an issue for the Armstrong Williams posse.

Sometime the cash flowed in the opposite direction.

As Byron York reported in 1998, CBS newswoman Linda Douglass [now with ABC] and her husband, an influential public interest lawyer named John Phillips, socialized often with Whitewater scandal figure Webster Hubbell and his wife, Suzy.

Within weeks of Hubbell's 1994 resignation from the Justice Department, said York, "Phillips put together a deal by which a California non-profit group paid Hubbell $45,000 to write a series of articles on the idea of public service.

"Later, Phillips and Douglass picked up much of the tab when they and the Hubbells flew to Greece for a ten-day vacation cruising the Aegean Sea. They stayed in touch after Hubbell pleaded guilty – and even after Hubbell went to prison."

Given examples like these, it would seem that the media ethics police have a lot of catching up to do before continuing the hunt for journalists on the Bush administration payroll.
