CONTROVERSY HITS ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR MARK HALPERIN... EXCLUSIVE DEVELOPING... An internal memo written by ABCNEWS Political Director Mark Halperin admonishes ABC staff during coverage of Democrat Kerry and Republican Bush -- not to 'reflexively and artificially hold both sides 'equally' accountable'...


This had better be false, otherwise I may "begin" to doubt major media coverage..

Remember, don't believe everything you read or hear.

We hear what we want to say...Cirrus

Major media is fast losing the trust of the American people............ So I suggest you find an alternate source of news. 🙂

I find that NPR has pretty unbiased news... the commentary aside of course. The rest of them have so many interests to protect, it's hard to distinguish anymore what's fact and what's fiction... and what's LEFT OUT!

The fox has made his pont clear when he said there is no conflict of interest for foxes watching the henhouse.
Chickens die of old age, so we just cull out the coop by using the scientific method, of who runs the slowest.

We have no problem of who touts the winner of any debate as long as they leave us status que.

On a personal note; the fox did wonder why Bush kept giving Kerry great comebacks on Bushs' programs.
Also, wondered why Bush is now coming out with plans he could have implemented 3 1/2 years ago.
Now thinking that he better step up security in the henhouse in case Bush is trying to sneak in.

NPR does a very good job of maintaining balance and providing more than just the superficial coverage that is the norm these days, but even they are under pressure to compete.

"Two boys in Boston were playing basketball when one of them was attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's neck.

A newspaper reporter from the Boston Herald witnessed the incident and rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering data into his laptop, beginning with the headline: "Brave Young Celtics Fan Saves Friend From Jaws Of Vicious Animal."

"But I'm not a Celtics fan, "the little hero interjected.

"Sorry," replied the reporter. "But since we're in Boston, Mass, I just assumed you were."

Hitting the delete key, the reporter began "John Kerry Fan rescues Friend From Horrific Dog Attack."

"But I'm not a Kerry fan either," the boy responds.

The reporter says, "I assumed everybody in this state was either for the Celtics or Kerry or Kennedy."

"What team or person do you like? "

"I'm a Houston Rockets fan and I really like GeorgeW.Bush" the boy says. Hitting the delete key, the reporter begins again,

"Republican Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."
