he's discussing the "difficulty" he had finding the poll (obviously the left is hiding it). he found it on cnn, the headline "most people believe new orleans won't recover." rush's preferred headline, i infer: "most people believe bush not to blame." which gets to the heart of the right's problem w/ the media: it's not that they're biased toward the left--the lichters never make this claim in the media elite, the bible of the right--it's that they're not biased toward the right. it's not that they're liberal, it's that they're nonconservative. the headline, seems to me, to be fairly impartial, it focuses on what, for most people, should be the most important part of the story: new orleans and its people. |
my name is fred solinger. on wednesday, september 7, i will provide running commentary on seventeen straight hours of running commentary, opinion, and straight news from a variety of radio stations and television networks. my objective is to be objective ... beyond that, i'm not quite sure, but hopefully it'll be more lucid at 4am, when all of this is over. one thing is for sure: i won't be lucid at that hour. links to the monitored programs, arranged ideologically*, in alphabetical order, lest i be charged w/ bias: the fair & balanced: the left: the right: *that is, when the host has an avowed political position; otherwise, they are assumed to be independent. this is as applicable to bill o'reilly, who leans right, as it is to jon stewart, who leans left.    |
