Here is a question I haven't heard yet. What if the victim were white and the shooter black? Would the media have covered this the same? What if the KKK and Ayran Nation came in demanding this man's arrest and putting a bounty on his head? I think from the behavior from the left leaning activiists of the black community, you can see who the real racists really are. And it is the white middle class pansies of the main stream media who give them a pass every time on it. KEN RANDALL RADCLIFF, KY

JOHN, You either missed the point or don't want to get it. Let me spell it out for you. We all lie at any given time for our own reasons. The difference is when a Conservative fails morally, the main stream media is all over the story like crows on road kill. When a Leftist is caught lying or in some other unethical behavior, the story is either buried or spun/distorted to make the Leftist look like a victim. This is what the writer is trying tio get across. The rub is that these same members of the MSM will try to portray themselves as objective members of the 4th Estate while being anything but. To use a sports metaphor, you can be a referee or a cheerleader, but you can't be both.

Liberal pundits destroyed the press by using it as a way to broadcast their agenda rather than the news. It is only right that soon their main question will be, "Would you like fries with that?".

As someone who actually paid attention in school, I remember the Earth Science Course I took in Eigth Grade. The one fact I left having studied the different Earth Ages was that the climate has been in a constant state of change in a closed ecosystem. Of the changes over the millions of years that saw the dinosaurs come and go, the ice age, and the first signs of man,I saw no evidence of how man could have influenced the changes with his cooking fires. I would challenge Al Gore, when he is not flying in his private jet or swimming in his heated pool, to tell me how man caused the ice age or the warming that followed. This is nothing more than a scheme to return working Americans to the serf status that Uncle Al and his Socialist...
