America’s Finest News Source has some explaining to do.
The Onion , the usually biting comic weekly, just can’t bring itself to mock President Barack Obama. The One has been in office for more than a month now, and the last four Onion issues have tip-toed around anything remotely tough on the Commander-in-Chief. It’s hardly a shock, since most comics in toto seem to have a hands off approach to the new president. But The Onion?

“Fred Sanford, you fish eyed old fool!”
I hold out hope that some from among the media will recognize Obama's falsehoods, shortcomings, and abuses, then realize that they miss that First Amendment thingie, and break ranks.
You can't understand journalism without reference to the Associated Press. In the founding era, newspapers were not so much about news as we know it as about the opinion of the printer of the newspaper. For example, Hamilton and Jefferson each sponsored a newspaper to promote his own opinions and trash those of the other. Two generations later, with the advent of the telegraph and the monopolistic Associated Press, newspapers had the motive and opportunity to call all journalism "objective" in order to justify printing stuff that their own reporters didn't write.IOW, Associated Press journalism homogenizes political opinion among newspapers. It is true that the editorial pages don't always go along the way the New York Time's editorial page does, but . . .
Associated Press journalism doesn't care about "that First Amendment thingie" or else they wouldn't have been 100% behind McCain-Feingold. Obama would really have to jump the shark to get bad press from the MSM.

There are plenty of dummies who DO have college degrees so that one counts as a miss.
Even better, don't even go to their site, or read their stuff. In denying FR the right that almost every other website allows, The Onion is in effect saying that they really don't want more readers or hits to their website. They obviously don't know the power of Free Republic to drive traffic. Who among us would ever visit abc.com, nytimes.com, washpost.com, cbs.com, or any of the other MSM websites, were it not for the fact that FR is allowed to quote only excerpts from articles. I truly hate the fact that I'm forced to endure the countless banners, peripheral headlines, slow-loading graphics and Java, and most of all the FLASHING ADS on those crap websites, just to read the rest of an article.
$4.99 Cheap? I remember when it first came out in the early 50’s as a comic book at around 15 cents. One of the guys from my HS started it.
No you can't.
No one can prevent linking.
Yes they can.
Period.
Be sure to give Robinson your address so you can pay the attorney fees.
Are you stupid? No plaintiff has ever won a preventative linking lawsuit.
And to think that I bought two of their books as Christmas presents for other people. Wussies.
bttt for later
