It appears that Annenberg fondations have been thoroughly infiltrated by the neo-Marxists.
Biden was also wrong about Cheney being the most dangerous VP of all time. Cheney is in fact a robot, remotely controlled by representatives from the RAND corporation, the International Order of War Now!, and whispy ghosts who inhabit the Shadow World. Of course, the Cheney-bot is bloody thirsty and programmed to hate the U.S. Constitution. But he’s not a real person, so he doesn’t count as a real VP.
Get your facts straight, Joe.

Mark Halperin (Political Director of ABC News) Memo Dated Friday October 8, 2004
It goes without saying that the stakes are getting very high for the country and the campaigns - and our responsibilities become quite grave I do not want to set off (sp?) and endless colloquy that none of us have time for today - nor do I want to stifle one. Please respond if you feel you can advance the discussion.The New York Times (Nagourney/Stevenson) and Howard Fineman on the web both make the same point today: the current Bush attacks on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way that goes beyond what Kerry has done.
Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win.
We have a responsibility to hold both sides accountable to the public interest, but that doesn't mean we reflexively and artificially hold both sides "equally" accountable when the facts don't warrant that.
I'm sure many of you have this week felt the stepped up Bush efforts to complain about our coverage. This is all part of their efforts to get away with as much as possible with the stepped up, renewed efforts to win the election by destroying Senator Kerry at least partly through distortions.
It's up to Kerry to defend himself, of course. But as one of the few news organizations with the skill and strength to help voters evaluate what the candidates are saying to serve the public interest. Now is the time for all of us to step up and do that right.

Marcus Recycles the Halperin Memo
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein
All campaigns fall short, but some fall far shorter than others. And it is a phony evenhandedness, comfortable for journalists but ultimately misleading, that equates these failures without measuring the grossness of their deviation from the standard of decency. In the 2008 race, and especially in the past few weeks, the imbalance has become unnervingly stark. Ideological differences aside, John McCain's campaign has been more dishonest, more unfair, more — to use a word that resonates with McCain — dishonorable than Barack Obama’s. — Ruth Marcus, WaPo, 9-17-08.
