HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD (Warning: New York Times)

[tuvor]

For 17 years, the Media Research Center has been compiling its list of "notable quotables." The quotes, from prominent members of the mainstream news media, provide a clear window into the leftist mindset that pervades most of America's large news organizations. At the end of the year, the center (helped by a panel of judges) chooses the "best" examples. As usual, this year's crop tellingly reveals the media's perennial contempt for all things conservative. Actually, the winners more or less explain themselves. (The full set of winners and finalists can be found at the center's Web site, www.mrc.org.) Happy New Year!

1. From the paper my parrot won't shit on...

The NYPost...which is kept alive only by the vanity of The Murdoch Family, because their circulation doesn't even come close.

2. Funny

This list gets shorter and thinner every year. The day is soon coming where they *might* be able to scrape up one or two "outrageous" statements as proof the "media is Liberal".

3. Cognitive disconnect, does not compute, click, buzz, zzzzziit .... nt
