They Decide Not Report, or Biased and Unbalanced
It is quite charming to hear our beloved Uncumbent, the usurper
W. railing against the terrible impact of 'shadowy' groups running
political ads without being bound by hard money limits. Particularly
charming since presumably part of why the conservatives haven't really
ramped up their 527s is they don't see the need; after all they have
their own 'news' network. Our so-called president is concerned about
these 'shadowy' groups and the effect they might have on our
democracy. No worries about having a big swath of the public airwaves
controlled by a conservative Australian who uses his media to either
shill for the conservative cause, or to berate and belittle anyone to
the left of King George III (that's not a typo, it's a reference to
the British monarch we wrested independence from). All in the guise of
'journalism.' For those who don't know, real journalists actually do
report stories from a neutral position, and actually do have a concept
of fairness in how they represent different viewpoints.
