[ I happen to agree with Steve. An eye opener is to get, as I get, the Wall Street Journal Opinion mailing (<OpinionJournal () wsj com>). If such material had been sent from the Times etc , there would be demands for Congressional hearings and damn the first amendment djf]

Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2001 06:51:27 -0600 From: Steve Cohen <stevecoh1 () attbi com> Double-standard time again. The oh-so-liberal media rears its ugly head.What have we witnessed in the past three months? Where to begin? Let's see, the Florida elections. The truth, hidden, sliced, diced, and obfuscated so as not to reflect poorly on a wartime leader. Bill Maher nearly thrown off the air on his "Politically Incorrect" show for making remarks that were a little too politically incorrect. And on and on I could go, forever.But the Wall St. Journal isn't talking about any ofTHESE truth distortions. No, they're still on the hunt for liberal political correctness. If it isn't done in the name of diversity, it's not a distortion.Like its dittohead brethren who evidently plan to hound Bill Clinton to his grave, the campaign against "liberal dominated media" will continue long after the last liberal has died.
