I think this may turn out to be the biggest thing to have come along in awhile. It basically assigns an ADA score to news outlets, and there's no taint of advocacy or partisanship in any body's mind that I know of. If this can be computerized, then at least what they report (as opposed to what they don't report, admittedly) can be quantified on a semi-objective scale, and widely distributed. This would pressure them more than anything else to come along has. Then we could have some fun, by filing a class action suit as consumers deceived by false advertising of "news" when it is actually DNC commercials. Then the DNC could be sued for in kind contributions totalling hundreds of millions of dollars per year by the RNC. Lots of publicity, and it would be mealy mouthed to say the least that it is a freedom of the press issue.

Your comments have a layer of brilliance about them! You would be turning the litigation machine back onto the liberals who spawned it! That I must see, someday! Semper Fi. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
