Speaking of your 'heroes', I noticed that Mary Jo Kopechne wasn't mentioned in
that 'tribute' to Ted Kennedy last night.
I wonder why?

The same reason you never mention the "disability" checks hard working
Americans are forced to give you monthly.
Some things are just too embarrassing to discuss.
After all you do have an image to protect don't you Mr. "CONservative
small gubermit just leave me alone Republican"?
After seeing the girth and gigantic ass of Teddy it appears you two
have more than just hypocrisy in common.

And by the way, the 'check' was deposited in my account early this morning. There I
mentioned it, boy!
* The Democrats are the party that says government will make
you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn.
Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and
then they get elected and prove it.
.
* Many reporters, when they go to work in the nation’s capital,
begin thinking of themselves as participants in the political
process instead of glorified stenographers.
* The whole idea of our government is this: If enough people
get together and act in concert, they can take something and not pay
for it.
* ...Daniel Patrick Moynihan is the archtypical extremely smart
person who went into politics anyway instead so doing something
worthwhile for his country. So maybe he owes all of us an apology...
* The American political system is like a gigantic Mexican
Christmas fiesta. Each political party is a huge piñata — a
papier-mâché donkey, for example. The donkey is filled with full
employment, low interest rates, affordable housing, comprehensive
medical benefits, a balanced budget and other goodies. The American
voter is blindfoled and given a stick. The voter then swings the
stick wildly in every direction, trying to hit a political candidate
on the head and knock some sense into the silly bastard.
* Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey
and car keys to teenage boys.
* The second item in the liberal creed, after
self-righteousness, is unaccountability. Liberals have invented
whole college majors— psychology, sociology, women's studies— to
prove that nothing is anybody's fault. No one is fond of taking
responsibility for his actions, but consider how much you'd have to
hate free will to come up with a political platform that advocates
killing unborn babies but not convicted murderers. A callous
pragmatist might favor abortion and capital punishment. A devout
Christian would sanction neither. But it takes years of therapy to
arrive at the liberal view.
* At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable,
as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding,
ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of
sniveling brats.
* I have often been called a Nazi, and, although it is unfair,
I don't let it bother me. I don't let it bother me for one simple
reason. No one has ever had a fantasy about being tied to a bed an
sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal.
* The principal feature of American liberalism is
sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things — war and
hunger and date rape — liberals testify to their own terrific
goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a
self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things....
It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about
this aristocracy is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong
or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.
* You can't get good Chinese takeout in China and Cuban cigars
are rationed in Cuba. That's all you need to know about communism.
* You can't shame or humiliate modern celebrities. What used to
be called shame and humiliation is now called publicity. And forget
traditional character assassination; if you say a modern celebrity
is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that
you've read his autobiography.
* Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs
have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not
entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how
free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the
"right" to education, the "right" to food and housing. That's not
freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the
rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.
* There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you
damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the
duty to take the consequences.
* There are just two rules of governance in a free society:
Mind your own business. Keep your hands to yourself. Bill, keep your
hands to yourself. Hillary, mind your own business.
* Health care is too expensive, so the Clinton administration
is putting a high-powered corporate lawyer in charge of making it
cheaper. (This is what I always do when I want to spend less money —
hire a lawyer from Yale.) If you think health care is expensive now,
wait until you see what it costs when it's free.
* And the Clinton administration launched an attack on people
in Texas because those people were religious nuts with guns. Hell,
this country was founded by religious nuts with guns. Who does Bill
Clinton think stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock? Peace Corps
volunteers? Or maybe the people in Texas were attacked because of
child abuse. But, if child abuse was the issue, why didn't Janet
Reno tear-gas Woody Allen?
* You know, if government were a product, selling it would be
illegal.
* Government is a health hazard. Governments have killed many
more people than cigarettes or unbuckled seat belts ever have.
* Term limits aren't enough. We need jail.

I don't have time for your entire screed, but reporters ARE supposed to
be part of the process. They are supposed to speak truth to power and
stick up for the common person.
They're supposed to report facts, nothing more.
They are observers. Not participants.

===================================
I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it
is largely a waste of time.
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American
public.
Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
To die for an idea; it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it
would be if men died for ideas that were true!
Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying
to prove that the other party is unfit to rule -
and both commonly succeed, and are right.
There is always a well-known solution to every human problem--neat,
plausible, and wrong.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and
hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless
series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
It is inaccurate to say I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of
common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever
ineligible for public office.
Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and
more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious
day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last
and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven
brag about it to persons who will never get there.
“The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They
have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of
government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office.
Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and
pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them.
Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is
made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a
broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale
of stolen goods.”
H. L. Mencken

Reporters are supposed to report. Report without fear, favouritism or
prejudice. Report without injecting editorial style commentary or
interpretation. Just report.
They aren't there to speak the truth to anyone. They are there to ASK
the truth and to ask it from as many sources as they can.
If the reporters do their part honestly and properly, the 'common
person' should handle the rest. Fear of death and retaliation sometimes
prevents that handling.
Fact belongs on the first page. Editorial comment belongs on a clearly
labelled page four.

Your ignorance regarding how our government works is typical of a WLS

"Whether Web logs (known as blogs) or printed books, the media in a
democracy have a number of overlapping but distinctive functions that
remain fundamentally unchanged. One is to inform and educate. To make
intelligent decisions about public policy, people need accurate, timely,
unbiased information. However, another media function may be to advocate,
even without pretense of objectivity. Media audiences may benefit from
various, conflicting opinions, in order to obtain a wide range of
viewpoints. This role is especially important during election campaigns,
when few voters will have the opportunity to see, much less talk with,
candidates in person.
A second function of the media is to serve as a watchdog over government
and other powerful institutions in the society. By holding to a standard
of independence and objectivity, however imperfectly, the news media can
expose the truth behind the claims of governments and hold public
officials accountable for their actions."

"Facts have a liberal bias."
Deciding what goes on page 1 is a subjective process. The press is
supposed to be skeptical and is supposed to mock the absurd. This is why
Jon Stewart has more credibility than anybody else. He gets it.
Your ability to reduce a civil discussion into name calling is
also typical of the socialist mentality.
Have a nice day, David.
By that logic, National Lampoon is a News Magazine.

People thinking there is such a thing as unbiased news is very
dangerous. The media should not trust government completely and the
people should not trust the media completely. It is up to the end-user
to decide what is real. Anything else is Big Brother.

As valid as Time or Newsweek.
Yes, because National Lampoon is a bastion of factual accuracy

Citing Jon Stewart as a source of credibility is sign of a rather
slender contact on reality.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA II IS THE ANTI-CHRIST :
http://www.topix.com/forum/state/ok/T6LC6ESI3S0DET45G
Here Is The 'Claimed' Evidence:
http://blog.beliefnet.com/stevenwaldman/2008/08/mccain-obama-and-the-antichris.html
1.- He will come as a man of Peace (Obama promises peace in Iraq,
defeat for the US)
2.- He will come mounted on a white Female horse(Obama mother is white
who had 6 African husbands)
3.- He will come to deceive( Obama says he's a Christian but in fact
he was born a Muslim, practices the Islamic religion, prays Friday’s
facing Mecca)
4.- He will make himself the most powerful man on earth, if elected
5.- He will try to destroy the Jewish People and Israel( Obama has
said he loves the Arabs specially the Palestinians, hates Israel and
Jews. Admires Hitler, Osama etc)
6.- He will present himself as good and righteous but in fact he's
Satan himself. Violence is in his heart
7.- Obama will help Al Qaida in its evil projects.
8.- Barack Hussein Obama is the “King of the South” predicted in the
Bible.(Daniel .11, Kenya is south of Jerusalem)
9.- Obama comes to implant muslim Sharia Law upon America.
Obama is the Anti-Christ, beware of him.
Watch him and don't let you be deceived by Him.
Supporters of Obama: 1.5 billion Muslims, Oprah, Louis Farrakanh,
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and all American Muslims.

The National Lampoon is satire, as is Jon Stewart. Satire (look it up)
is an extremely powerful form of topical commentary. But you need two
things:
1. a sufficiently developed intellect
and
B. a sense of humor

No. I leave that sort of thing to you Socialist/Marxists up in CanaDuh.
NoBama, no cry!
Satire is not reportage of fact.
Credibility is not a function of effective satire. It's a
function of accuracy of reported fact.
You may wish to rethink pointing fingers on that one.

Pathetic? You are indeed a queer, are you not?
You DON"T get it. The issue is not whether satire is a valid form
of presentation, the issue is whether a satirist is a credible
source of news.
To get back to your original assertion, Jon Stewart is a
satirist. Not a reporter. He deals in perspective. He presents HIS
perspective. He doesn't report facts.
A clown may base his act on facts. But he is not a factual source.
