A Media Examination Post Katrina and Roberts

I have been quietly watching the media to see what much of the media is saying and how they are saying it. The headline writers are exacerbating fallacy laden stories with incredible headlines even in the smallest of papers. The national reporters on the big three and the cable three have apparently been transformed into commentators and not journalists. The spiral into the muck has a tighter turn as the major media become less and less relevant.

Here are some facts:

The President's poll numbers are down - but not as far as you might think. The President sits at between 41 and 47 percent depending on whose poll you look at. The problem is, journalists, like most 14 year old are only interested in what the easy top of line information is. I know, I have been there. The NY Times has skewed their results to make Iraq look like the main culpret in the response time to Katrina - despite facts to the contrary. They like a pitbull on a branch are too engaged on that one story element and can not look around to hear what really happened. They like many liberals are still in the fog of war that emerged immediately after the hurricane.

Roberts will be confirmed. The best and perhaps funniest thing here is that Roberts was so much smarter than Biden, Kennedy, and Feinstein it was almost not fair. Sentator Schumer asked Roberts a 10 minute question, in which, he named himself once every 12 seconds. How do you do that? I will remember Biden melting down so much even a liberal columnist has called him irrelevant. I also will recognize that Senator Kennedy has only one set of talking points regardless of the issue. It is always about Race, Class, and a "woman's right to choose".

Special Interest groups will always combat a Republican nominee for any position regardless of ideology or track record. NOW called Judge Souter the judge who would single handedly overturn Roe V Wade. Is that a joke? Souter rules with Ginsburg more than twice the number of times he sides with Scalia. Gindburg wanted to place the age of conscent at 12 and said prostitution was protectedby the Consitution.

ABC after Peter Jennings is now the most liberal network period. It is not even close.
