Well it seems that Robert Novak might have a clue as to where.

Published reports that Fred Thompson soon will withdraw from the Republican presidential contest and endorse Sen. John McCain have been traced in part to Mitt Romney’s campaign, trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson.

If this is the case, it would be nothing unusual. If you can’t beat them far and square, some candidates resort to knife in the back tactics like this.

This of course would not be the first time the Politico was involved in shady reporting for the sake of politics.

Don Surber proves the point in his own special way.

Don is such a good communicator of ideas, he is starting to get link by Gleen Reynolds on a regular basis.

…but I think the media is for thinking he and his administration is.

It has been clear from the very beginning, even before he was sworn in, that the media was doing every thing they could to make Bush and his administration look incompetent. From his very election that they still see as illegitimate. How he handled 9-11, the aftermath, The Afghan War, The Iraq War, Katrina, the floods, the fires, the everything. I think quite the opposite has taken place. Just look at how much the media has lost in reputation since 2000.

From the beginning I think Bush realized the media was never going to be on his side. That no matter what he said or what he did, the media had an agenda and they were going to stick to it. Bush could have brought about world peace. The media would find away to fault him for it on in the very least not give him credit.

So I think when history is written by the historians long after I am gone. It will finally be realized that this was a time of a great leader and how he contributed to a revolution in the world and in the media. A media that was so corrupt on perceived power it brought about their down fall and the birth of a new media that was controlled by everyone and no one.

…comes out of the Closet that is. Well starting to anyway. I think it’s great. They will be better for it.

I still won’t be watching, but I will have a greater respect for them admitting their bias instead of trying to hide behind a false one.

If your main source of news comes from the mainstream media once a day every day, you may miss this bit of news.

U.S. troop losses plunge in Iraq

As the media did with Katrina and continue to do with many other stories, they continue to get it wrong and fail at some of their most basic responsibilities.

Media myths about the Jena 6

Jena, La. - By now, almost everyone in America has heard of Jena, La., because they’ve all heard the story of the “Jena 6.” White students hanging nooses barely punished, a schoolyard fight, excessive punishment for the six black attackers, racist local officials, public outrage and protests – the outside media made sure everyone knew the basics.

There’s just one problem: The media got most of the basics wrong. In fact, I have never before witnessed such a disgrace in professional journalism. Myths replaced facts, and journalists abdicated their solemn duty to investigate every claim because they were seduced by a powerfully appealing but false narrative of racial injustice.

I should know. I live in Jena. My wife has taught at Jena High School for many years. And most important, I am probably the only reporter who has covered these events from the very beginning.

So no surprises here, just stating it for the record. Just add it to the list of reasons not to trust the mainstream for anything.

I don’t even trust this guy and that he got this right.

Well today was the closing of the auction of the Harry Reid Smear Letter. The winning bid was $2,100,100 and Rush Limbaugh match for over $4.2 million for The Marine Corps and Law Enforcement Foundation. That is unbelievable!

What is even more unbelievable is that the scum politician Harry Reid tried to nudge his way in to get some credit for it all.

How dare you even come close to even giving the democrats credit for the Harry Reid Smear Letter that Rush Limbaugh turned into  Gold for the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. Not only did you give then full credit you did not even mention the fact Rush matched the contribution making a total contribution of 4.2 million dollars.

Rush is going to have your ASS come Monday.

SHAME ON YOU!!!

Make you BURN for this.

No other proof is needed that this whole SCHIP thing was nothing more than a political stunt than the ramblings of the lunatic from California, their representative, Pete Stark.

I blame the people of California for the lunatic being in the house of representatives. They deserve him, but we don’t.

Don’t apologize, let it stand so that it can been recorded for all time. When people look back on it in the future than can forever see the lunacy of the democrat party.

…and of course the media is doing their part by covering it up.

I heard Dennis Miller talking about this the other day on the radio. The Mission Accomplished thing aboard the aircraft carrier that the President appeared in front of. The one that the democrats and the media made such a big deal out of. And continued to harp on.

This whole thing was was intended to express the mission was accomplished for the sailors aboard the ship, not what the democrats and their willing accomplices in the media tried to make it. That the War in Iraq was accomplished. Even though President Bush made it clear we still had a long hard slog to finish the job.

I can only hope that the media will one day look back on this with shame. I am not holding my breath though.

That it the way the headline should have read from al Reuters in that Congress’ rating was lower.

Voters unhappy with Bush and Congress

But you really can’t expect any better from al Reuters can you.
