MRC Must-Reading Today

Just about every item is worth your attention.

Just to let you know what's there:

Keith Olbermann says the Panel stated there was no political bias at CBS, but opined there is political bias at FoxNews, as they ran those SwiftVet advertisements (as did most other outlets, including MSNBC, of course);

Chris Matthews frets that four staffers got fired at CBS, and yet no one's gotten fired in the Bush Administration for taking us to war on a lie;

and 60 Minutes producer Don Hewitt candidly asks, "Does anybody really think there wouldn't have been more scrutiny if this had been about John Kerry?"

Nice, Don.

Here's the thing about liberals in the media.

I don't mind liberals as people. Honestly! Some of my best friends really are liberals-- in fact, some of them are Chomskyites, and one is a Communist.

As people, I don't let their politics infect my opinion of them. Politics is not always the personal.

And I honestly would not mind liberals in the media, necessarily, based on their politics alone.

What I mind-- what I find gob-smackingly vile -- is their dishonesty about it.

And that is a reason to dislike someone. I wouldn't write someone off as a human being simply because they sincerely disagreed with me about the War on Terror, but a constant pattern of childish lying is something else again.

Don Hewitt is a cut-and-dried liberal. But he's also got the guts and simple decency to admit the truth. I don't like his politics, but I don't think I mind him as a human being.

Feels like you ended this post mid-sentence... as if you were just starting to get on a roll and cut it short...

ACE - a droll, fairly amusing take on the deficiencies of the CBS investigators over at liberal Slate.

Pretty much on mark, some new insights, too.

Ace, I'm a little confused by the Hewitt statement. He said, "Does anybody really think there wouldn't have been more scrutiny if this had been about John Kerry?"

Syntactically and logically, that makes no sense. Did he mean, "Does anybody really think there would have been as much scrutiny if this had been about John Kerry?" That seems to be what you think he said.

You gotta give Hewitt credit, he openly claimed to have handed Clinton the nomination and still cliams to not be biased.

DON HEWITT (Executive Producer, "60 Minutes"): And they came to us
because they were in big trouble in New Hampshire. They were about to
lose right there and they needed some first aid. They needed some
bandaging. What they needed was a paramedic. So they came to us and
we did it and that's what they wanted to do. When I told Tim Russer
that I was persona-non-grata at the White House, he said, "Why?" I
said, "The Gennifer Flowers interview." He said, "You got him the
nomination." I said, "I know that." As far as I know from the
conversations I've had, Bernie Nussbaum knew that, Gergen knows that,
Lloyd Cutler certainly knows it 'cause Lloyd had a hand in his coming
on that night.

"You know it was strong medicine the way I edited it but he was a very
sick candidate. He needed very strong medicine, and I'm not in the
business of doctoring candidates but he got up out of a sick bed that
night and walked to the nomination and as I said to Mandy, "You know
if I'd edited it your way, you know where you'd be today? You'd still
be up in New Hampshire looking for the nomination." He became the
candidate that night. "

Sixty minutes has been in the bag for the left since day one. Even when the left takes a major dump on them, they do everything they can to help whoever their candidate is, and it comes from the top down. I hadn't though about Hewitt's quote on giving Clinton the Whitehouse in a long time. They really should rerelease the Clinton Chronicles on DVD, well before the 2008 campaigns start, so there's no appearance of attempting to influence the election.

AMEN!

I was thinking that Olbermann may, in fact, be a brilliant comedian, deeply ironic, and that I should start watching his show for the awsome "deliberate unintended" humor.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
