By Howard KurtzWashington Post Staff Writer

1. Just for the record, the editors and publishers of the WP have shilled
for Shrub's war in Iraq from day one. They are great believers that the war in Iraq is really the war to make the middle east safe for Zionist settlers to occupy the "Holy Lands" on the West Bank.

They dropped a ten ton safe on Howard Dean for daring to say we should take an "even handed" approach to I / P affairs. Some of us keep track of these things.

2. Howard Kurtz is such a biased writer that one can read a few pghs
of his stories and guess who wrote them. This one is no exception. As Dan Rather clearly stated, "this is not about me" yet Kurtz chose to ignore the bigger story--what are the ANSWERS to the questions about Bush's service that CBS has reiterated several times--in order to try to do a gossipy character assassination on Rather.

Top notch reporting. /sarcasm off

4. There is a special place in hell reserved for journalists who fuck up
on purpose. I wouldn't want to go there.

so much for impartial

look at the link:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,128478,00.html

"Will President Bush get a bounce from the Republican National Convention? Jamal Simmons, Democratic strategist, and Sherri Annis, Republican strategist, join the debate."
