Fredipedia: The definitive Fred Thompson quick-reference
Absolutely. Thompson by far came out ahead. Thompson also picked up Angie Weaver Anderson who worked for Tancredo.
Someone asked Rush what he thought of AP on his show one day and his answer wasn’t kind. Everything you read by AP has to be filtered to analyze the intent. They don’t just report the news, they doctor it. I really can’t see how that would be different from CNNABCCBSNBC though.
APs goal, marginalize conservatives. Once you get that, it all makes sense. Just don’t play.
“.... another anti-immigration hero, Rep. Steve King.”
AP plays with words.
anti-ILLEGAL immigration would have been correct; AP knew it and distorted King’s position.
WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN?!
The AP editor is just the tip of the iceberg.
CNN and MSNBC have PAID campaign staffers also employed as “journalists” or “commentators”.
If this were stock trading, the editors would be doing the perp walk.
No editor would be able to do that without a DNC approval. Or, morelikely, a DNC order.
there, fixed it.
I think if we all remember who the AP is we’ll all have a better understanding of the lock-step leftist bias we see everyday in the MSM. The AP is owned by, or was IIRC the Print Media. At one time, perhaps if I do a search instead of relying upon my ancient and questionable memory cells, the AP was owned by over 1500 independant newspapers whom contributed the funding for it.
The Liberal/Leftist bias of the media has been a real topic for a number of years. I think the fact that AP is owned by the print media, and such underhanded tactics favoring the Left are common certifies that as a reality.
“Thompson suffered a stinging setback”
If one reflects upon it, it is clear that this lead AP sentence is an editorial opinion disguised as news. I even see this in headlines nowadays. The press has lost its professionalism. In addition, these prominent editorials (that don’t admit to being editorials) slant left. The main stream media claim that they are bringing us the news without bias. Their claim is not true.
Human Events is forthright in describing itself as a “Conservative Weekly.” They are proud to be conservative. Other than a few conservative pockets, the news industry is liberal. They won’t admit that they are liberal. It’s like an elephant “hiding” in the closet. Why must the AP, New York Times, NBC and others deny their liberal bias? Why don’t they proudly admit that they are liberal, the way Human admits that it is conservative? Human Events is honest, the others are not. Conservatives are honest to themselves and others. Liberals are not.
It is mostly the left that lives life “in denial.” That may be the reason why the “law of unintended consequences” bites them in the rear most often, and why their mental health (according to recent surveys) suffers most.
