One of the most fascinating parts of watching the media, at least to me, is to see the subtle ways in which they try and impart their view to the public. Matt Drudge is of course one of the main proponents of this type of "journalism" as seen in part by his selective use of polls that favor Obama and quotes in stories that will be read, but knowningly taken out of context.

If one leaves aside for a second judgments on the particular individuals on each side of the immigration debate (most Dems and Bush/McCain on one side and most Republicans on the other) and focuses on the actual issues involved, I think this debate which has been brought to the forefront in our country in the past week is truly fascinating. As in other areas of policy ranging from the First Amendment to domestic spying, the immigration debate can bring together truly strange bedfellows. For instance, lets say you are a principled conservative. You can take either of these two stances, and be at odds with yourself.

I only tend to post here on kos when I have the contrarian view on an issue. Generally that is because I find that when I agree with the mainstream progressive view, I feel as if I would add very little to the discussion. However when, as now, I find myself seemingly in disagreement with the majority, I feel the need to give my two cents.

It is very rare when I find myself in agreement with the President. Even when I respect his decision (such as on the John Roberts nomination), it is not because I have any love for him, but mainly because I liked the individual in question.

However I am a bit shocked at the views on the port question... Read More

As an initial matter, let me set out the lame disclaimer that I am a fan of many on this board, come here often to read the various takes on issues and use this resource as a base to find out what is going on in the progressive world. Having said all of that however, I am very disappointed in what I have seen by some (and I recognize it is not even close to all) in recent days. Read More

I grew up deep in Appalachia in Southeastern Kentucky and have a connection with that area that can only truly be understood by people who are from that neck of the woods. Like many who live in inner cities or in rural farm communities, the connection of people who live deep in the Appalachian mountains is strong and runs throughout generations. Last night as I was watching coverage of the mine disaster, I wept with joy when I found out that the miners were reported to be alive. I stayed up until around two, hoping to see the re-connection with the miners' families and to watch as people who are normally so fallen with tragedy experienced a bit of joy. Read More
