MRC Must-Reading TodayJust 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. posted by Ace at 06:14 PM

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. http://slate.msn.com/id/2112154/ Posted by: cedarford on January 11, 2005 08:26 PM
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. Posted by: CraigC on January 11, 2005 09:15 PM
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 http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/LIE/lie.html 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! Posted by: Caroline on January 12, 2005 12:34 PM
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. Posted by: rdbrewer on January 12, 2005 02:06 PM

Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit. Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?) I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

On "Professor" Arday:
He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.-- Krebs v Carnot

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long. Recent Comments
