Particularly excellent since Business Week leans 'way left....

"That's how I wound up there," he said. "Your industry [the news media] has suggested that we were all recruited. That's a lie. Really, it's a lie. I don't mean a mistake. It's a lie.

Thomas has the guts to call it what it is ... lie

[JZoback]

SCOTUS Justice Thomas, the feeling is mutual


Sincerely,

The MSM

Let's add another like him, and by 'like him', I mean, philisophically, as he would surely have me mean it:

Hmmmm, Justice Thomas! Does 'freedom of the press' allow a biased media to LIE to an unsuspecting public????????

[paulat]

Hero.

Bump

[Cicero]

Let's just put it this way. Anita Hill was evidently a product of affirmative action. Although she was a graduate of Yale Law School, she was dumber than a rock, and meaner too.

Clarence Thomas shows what a man can achieve with intelligence, virtue, determination, and hard work.

[OldFriend]

Wish Justice Thomas could know just how much we love and respect his service to our country.

The only good (and smart) thing Arlen Spector ever did in his entire Senate career was to champion Clarence Thomas. Justice Thomas would probably be filibustered if he were to come before the Senate today.

And your industry...or precisely this media industry that is in trouble based on a shrinking customer base... says Thomas.
Ergo their need or better requisite for sensationalism starting with this never ending upcoming apocalypse of global warming, then rich poor, smooth lying politicians that rescue humanity from wars, just to name a few.
Why did this research release that reading/watching media (industry) causes depression get so quickly buried?
Be selective when watching, go and cancel your paper to save trees.

[RJS1950]

Yes, a pair AND a life-time appointment.

[Vigilanteman]

It is interesting that Judge Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and Condi Rice all came from backgrounds who studied in the Booker T. Washington School of self-help, education and "hang bigotry, I'm going to suceed anyway."

Compare and contrast these intellectual giants to the meager accomplishments of the race baiting poverty pimp midgets like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters who all studied at the Marcus Garvey School of "we are owed by whitey."

[Steve Van Doorn]

I wonder if Clarence Thomas is a freeper or at least a lurker? :)

his decisions are close to how most of us would decide.

[TASMANIANRED]

I remember 1968.. There was no affirmative action.

Merit was more likely to be rewarded than anything else in most situations.

[Howlin]

He really is.

For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the guy, but there was a radio talk show host out of Florida, who had this show called "For the People," who also ran a hotel down there, who had a serious warning about the media, many years ago...

He said that he was talking to a number of journalism students, and asked them why they were interested in journalism, and every one of them said, (something along the lines of) "to make the world a better place." None of them said anything about "reporting the news," or "making sure that the 'truth' got out." But that they were going to use the news to make the world "a better place."

That's just scary!

Ah! The guy's name is (or was) Chuck Harter (sp?). A very serious populist, neither conservative nor liberal. He was my first introduction to serious talk radio.

Clarence Thomas is a wise man. The MSM is second only to Islamic terrorists as a threat to this country. And since we started crushing terrorists, the media is rapidly moving to first place.

The only good (and smart) thing Arlen Spector ever did in his entire Senate career was to champion Clarence Thomas.

Did he? I guess it must of been before he became deranged. I know that John Danforth of MO was also a very strong supporter of Justice Thomas. I've read bits and pieces of some of his decisions, and from what I've seen, the man is a genius, nothing even close to some of what the MSM has written about his and his decisions.

A great man.
