No Media Bias, Part 9,754

The Los Angeles Times dutifully "fact-checks" all of Bush's statements, and pretty much calls them all lies. If Bush notes Kerry would impose a "Global Test" on the use of force, the LAT notes that Kerry claims he won't give foreign nations a veto over the use of force-- as if Kerry's campaign rhetoric was proof-positive of a distortion.

But oddly enough, the LAT does no fact-checking for this Kerry attack:

The Democrat, who had planned on pounding the administration for the nation's shortage of flu vaccine, switched gears to capitalize on a report in Monday's Washington Post that Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq last year, complained last winter that a lack of supplies threatened the Army's fighting capacity.

"Despite the president's arrogant boasting that he's done everything right in Iraq and that he's made no mistakes, the truth is beginning to come out and it's beginning to catch up with him," Kerry said at a West Palm Beach retirement community. "And on Nov. 2, it will catch up with him."

Hmmmm... what's the problem with that? Well, for one thing, Sanchez was talking about an old problem with supply, one that's been cured, something the LAT doesn't bother to note.

Furthermore, Sanchez was complaining that the $87 billion supplemental bill to arm and equip our Iraqi soldiers was moving slowly through the pipeline.

You know-- the $87 billion Kerry voted against.

The LA Times has no time to fact-check this. Either it wasn't worth a sentence to note that the Kerry voted against the very same supplies he's now whining were late in coming, or else, once again, the Mainstream Media just "forgot" to mention it entirely.

But we all remember Bush's arrogant boasting, don't we? Remember how he marched around the diner with his crown and robe saying "I'm the Wiz"?

Or was that on Seinfeld? Sorry, I get mixed up.

Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed
I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.

Don't breathe down my neck, no

Don't fill me with pride no

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.
