Subject: RE: BS: 'Liberal media'?
Brokaw's statement said it all for me.
Limbaugh is for entertainment, not news. Pat Robertson is a wild-eyed religious kook. I have never listened to Liddy so I have no opinion.
You speak of the far right; if you really want to get scared, read a bit of Earth First!
NBC refused to allow it's affiliates to cut inot the showing of "Titanic" to carry Bushes speech, offering instead taped exerpts for later viewing, but carried Gores speech live.
Jesse Jackson started a demonstration in Palm Beach Co. chanting "No Hand Count, No Peace". This sounds to ME like a threat to start a riot if his demands weren't met. The media carried it as an aside. In Miami-Dade, the people counting the votes decided to move from the large open hall where they were to a set of locked offices on another floor where no observation of the count would have been possible. When the Republican observers protested loudly, the media reported it as a "near riot" designed to disrupt the count.
Just how much more do you need to be convinced of the medias bias? Of course, you probably haven't read much about any of this. The Mainstream media haven't given it much space.
