GHWB blames media for persecuting GWB

Not that the MSM are ever going to admit an unfair bias towards the left, which a UCLA/U of Missouri three-year study demonstrated an average of a 70 ADA rating on the top twenty mass-media outlets, including far above seventy for the NYT and CBS. That would be journalism, and old-fashioned facts are not the chief fodder that the beasts of the MSM masticate. They like
bias and Poppy is now talking back to his TV set about it.

This is a short intro to a C-Span show given by The Corner, NRO's mildly influential beat for centrist news with a rightie vibe. Five vets of the culture wars, incl. O'Beirne, Ingraham, Charen, Malkin and Kathryn Lopez kept fielding questions from a live audience on why the media hates the USA so much. Or appears to do so.

One questioner with a sense of history [remember these are conservatives and have a perspective beyond the last few years, Vietnam, and Watergate] asked why Hollyweird can't put out a series of flicks on "Why we are fighting?" as the WWII series was entitled.

Given the present media obsession with bomb blasts in Baghdad, something like the Kasserine Pass disaster would have had the result of our having this conversation in German, so defeatist and loser-oriented the current MSM appear to be.

But then I watched Leno last night, and he kept zinging Billy Jeff with stuff like "what will he be doing living in the WH again?" The answer: "Just like the first time, cheating on his spouse."

And certifiable defeatist David Letterman even had a couple of positive things to say about Clint Eastwood's flicks on Iwo Jima. Guess David is selective in his pacifism.

So the media isn't solely anti-war or anti-Bush, but Poppy does have a right to yell at his TV set.
