It was first on Drudge (that little dweeb with his silly fedora) -- some major forthcoming NY Times story about Iraq and nukes. And then the blogs lit up. Follow the initial reaction of the Free Republic goons. They were all atwitter that Rove "that magnificent bastard" (as they weirdly call him) had pulled another October "November" surprise.

And, boy, I was scared too... it didn't look good. I read the Freepers ideas, and they scared me: Hussein had attempted to get nukes after the first Gulf war... etc etc. A major blowup.

Where do you get your news? As I diaried before, it's not possible to get news from CNN. Many of you commented that you got your news from DailyKos and other sites. Me too. I supplement reading the BBC with a healthy dose of left-leaning sites.

Well, if you want to do that, and you're stationed in Iraq... guess what? You can't.

Which is the worse sin, presenting biased news and commentary, or providing total fluff and non-news and masquerading it as actual news?

Why is it that Americans don't know, say, where England is, or who, like Bush circa 2000, the leader of Pakistan is? Blame it on the News. And, specifically, blame it on CNN. Sure, intrepid folks COULD go to NPR or BBC, but for the vast majority of Americans, they simply can't, don't have the time, don't know about it...

CNN is a scourge. It leads our nation to stupidity. Unlike FOX, which we KNOW is bad, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for CNN, perhaps because Ted Turner founded it and it was a maverick in its time... but no longer. Now it is a fawning imbecile who spews gossip and trivia and sensationalism like it is all-important.

Don't believe me? Let's take a look at their home page (from yesterday's "above the fold" CNN home page):

CNN HOME PAGE

Okay, now let's find all of the advertising, including cross-selling and up-selling to other CNN shows and services. Here's what we get:

I read quite a bit of international news. Did you see the video on BBC? Go to the BBC web site and look for "Tibetan killing". Or, watch this YouTube video:

http://youtube.com/... (it's in German... the actual video is about 30 seconds in)

For those who don't want to watch the video, here's a description:

A ROMANIAN TV station has broadcast footage of Tibetan refugees being shot dead on a Tibetan mountain pass as they attempt to flee Chinese Tibet, according to The Associated Press and internet weblogs.
The video from Pro-TV shows scenes of what the video's narrator says are Chinese border guards, and later cuts to footage of a line of figures walking through snow, one of whom drops to the ground after the sound of rifle fire.

Is this not one of the most disturbing things you've seen?

For Washingtonians, this report on Oregon's Measure 37 offers a helpful lesson of what's to come in your state. (Well, maybe not, as I-933 is even MORE intense than M37.)

From loggers:

The LeTourneux tree farm is nearly surrounded by some 850 acres of privately-owned forest owned by a Measure 37 claimant. The owner, a developer named Bob Hemstreet, filed a claim for $35 million for loss of use, and if the county doesn't pay, he may be able to subdivide the property and build as many as 848 homes on 1-acre home sites.

Initiative 933 uses the bait of eminent domain to "meat ax" (per The Olympian) ALL safeguards for clean water, habitat, wetlands, traffic, and pollution. Far worse than Oregon's Measure 37 (which has resulted in developments in the middle of national monuments and forests), Initiative 933 can roll back all regulations on all property by years. (Not surprisingly, it's far-right zeal is revealed when it turns out that it also undermines food safety, professional licensing, and more.)

You may think that I-933 is the result of local farmers and local concerns. Wrong. I-933 is a series of far-right TABOR-like and land-use initiatives promoted and funded by New York real estate developer Howie Rich (learn more, and more, and more, and more).

It's so important for Washingtonians to Vote No on I-933.

Folks, we have major news. George Allen and Jim Webb are TIED for the Virginia Senate race.

The polling is done by Maxon Dixon who are known to be the most accurate, NONPARTISAN outfit for Southern races. Here you go (and here):

Incumbent Republican Senator George Allen and Democratic challenger Jim Webb are tied in the latest MSNBC/McClatchy poll conducted by Mason-Dixon. Each candidate received the support of 43 percent of likely voters in Virginia with 2 percent supporting a third candidate and 12 percent undecided.

Senate Dems: have you read Daily Kos lately?

You're losing us. You're losing the base.

Will we be there for you when you need us to help with your mailings, phonecalls, canvassing? Will we be there this year, next year, in 2008?

Will your FAILURE to filibuster haunt you like Kerry's vote for war haunted him?

FILIBUSTER. FILIBUSTER. FILIBUSTER.

So you may have read about Virginia Republican George "Macaca" Allen allegedly using the word "N-word" in college.

Of course he denies it. (However, of course, the AP story forgets to remind us that Doug Jones, one of Allen's former teammates who says that he doesn't remember Allen using the phrase, also works for the Allen campaign and is a member of the Fairfax County Republican Committee.)

To formally bring torture into a political system is pretty easy. Create laws, pass them, have legal systems confirm them, have lots and lots of paperwork.

Here, look. Cambodia.

Lashes, electrocution. Simply added to a Buddhist society. Buddhism, there for 1000s of years, a religion of peace. Not that different than, say, America, land of "democracy", land of innocent until proven guilty. (Well, except that Buddhism has existed far longer than the US and, as a religion, has presumably far more strong feelings that a political system.)

Why would you, when it's CEO is a far-right loony tune? Jake's CEO (or major owner at the very least) Bill McCormick (now also an ambassador to New Zealand thanks to extremist Senator Gordon Smith) just gives and gives and gives and gives to the GOP.

Forget Tester, Casey, Santorum, Allen, Webb, Cantwell, and all the rest. They aren't important. The most important race this election cycle is the Lieberman race!

As you can tell by looking back over the past few weeks of front page articles, the Lieberman race dominates 50% of front page stories, and almost an equal percent of diaries. Here, we're all-Joe all-the-time!

And when the media sees our relentless Joe-focus, they help nationalize our potent message of a liberal left versus a conservative left. That's sure to play wonders in Ohio, Montana, and Missouri! Read More
