……… and then I saw the pig flying by my window.

I just picked up a smallish item from last night’s late news publications. The BBC has acknowledged its liberal bias and apparently is seeking ways to correct that problem. Read carefully though, the caveat allows room for evidence based judgments by editorial staff, so maybe those pigs were really pink elephants.

What’s next, NBC and CBS acknowledging that every entertainment and news program they air are heavily slanted?

I made an editorial decision to broadcast forgeries because they would help learn the truth.

Oh, wait, that was what I told people after smoking peyote for 3 days.

So when does Faux News admit their bias???? (Unless Ted is talking out of both sides of his mouth again)

"Faux" from the mouth of one who suports the party that is infomred by Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert.

"Faux" as in - if you're too stooopid to admit their conservative bias you're no better than Dan Blather.

Major Props go out to my little green friend Yoda for coining the term "anon phags".

I really loved the MSM liberal bias in the coverage of the 2000 prez debates. You had a rehearsed one-liner king vs. a smart guy who knew his stuff. Completely in different leagues. Like a T-ball player vs. a major league pro. But MSM trying to treat candidates equally were too afraid to call things like they were, instead focused on insignificant things like sighs. Had to go to foreign media to read an honest assessment. And why do R’s never bring up the MSM love-fest and no-hard-questions-ever-asked mentality after 9/11? Yeah, the mainstream profit-seeking corporations are inherently real liberal. Give me a break! The liberal MSM is a myth successfully maintained by R’s.

Of course, media assessments by us political junkies tend to be like biased home-team supporters judging referee calls. Seldom objective.

"Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles... He saved hundreds of thousands of lives."

-- Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, quoted by Globe and Mail, sticking up for the fictional federal agent in the television series 24 while arguing that interrogators "require latitude in times of great crisis."

Hmmmm... Count me as a Scalia fan, for a Jedi he is.....

Hmm, Scalia should have a competency hearing as he uses a fictional character in real constitutional situations.

Maybe Yoda should realize that mythical jedi were on the good size.
HMM me think Yoda is just another sock muppet! No thoughts just words put in his mouth!
