Evan Thomas: Yeahp, Media Still "Absolutely" Want Kerry to Win

This guy's a liberal, but he's a stand-up guy. Why can't they just admit it? Why do they have to lie to us on a daily basis?

Thomas here reaffirms his belief that the media is in the bag for Kerry -- including his own magazine, Newsweek -- but scales back how much that media support is worth, from 15 points down to 5.

I think it's somewhere in the middle. I don't think most races would even be competitive with the ceaseless liberal-media pimping for Democrats.

But you know what's amazing? The liberals really do believe that the media is right-wing. It's like saying the world is flat just because they don't repeat every fever swamp conspiracy theory as fact.

This guy's a liberal, but he's a stand-up guy. Why can't they just admit it?

Along these lines, I thought you all would be entertained by an email exchange I've had with a friend of mine thru my son's football team. He's a really good guy but is of the sneaky liberal debating type ("I think Kerry is a joke too, BUT..."). I've finally drawn him out into the open.

I sent:
The following is just too damn funny:

http://slate.msn.com/id/2108216/slideshow/2108085/entry/2108087/speed/100

He repiled:
Yeh, we can't vote for a pretty boy like this. Heck, he might even be a homo. I rather vote for someone who kills US children to line his pockets with oil money.

This video is actually quite rediculous and someone should probably slap the little sissy, but we need to concentrate on what really matters.

I replied:
Getting a little testy? Something worrying you?

My point is that it’s a funny clip. I would have sent along a video piece of Dick Cheney patting his jowls, if I found one.

On a more positive note, it’s good to see you are finally admitting your political tilt (like it was a mystery). Does this mean we don’t have to sit thru your “I would never vote for a Democrat, BUT…” and “I voted for Bush last time, but THIS TIME…” pretenses before backing in the DNC talking points?

“Kills US children”, “line pockets with oil money”, WTF? Switch off the dental radio, please. But I’m happy you’re finally (politically) OUT and openly liberal. Don’t deny who you are. It’s no fun. You can call me an evil, Rovian, Chimpster-loving, Bush Hitler-ite if you just don’t deny it when I point out that you are a lefty, moon-bat, tin-foil hat wearing Kool-Aid drinker.

Take no offense. It’s the weasels that won’t take a side that should really be derided.

And Democrats. Sorry.

Let's see if he trolls this site. Seriously, it's the wishy-washy, back-boneless "undecideds" that have us beating each other up. Make up your fucking minds, already. Anybody who still doesn't have an opinion by this point shouldn't even be allowed in the polling booths. Remember, if you are standing in the middle of the road, you have a big yellow stripe down your back.

Cheers

Now, Now, I'm sure Dan Rather is RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT forging documents implicating members of Kofi Annan's family and prominent Democrats in the U.N. Oil for food Program. So I think its safe to leave behind this notion of media bias.

Uh, Evan Thomas is no liberal. He's fairly moderate-conservative from his positions that I've seen. His admissions about the media are from shame at his fellow scribes, I think.

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.

I'm just wondering if this flighty high-calorie pyrsyn is also in the news today for other reasons....
Update: No, it's not. Zee/Zem says they's name is like "Rob Hopkins" or something.
