New Issue of 'Is It Treason Yet?'
1. The War on Poverty has become the War on the Poor
2. The Christian Coalition wants to be above the Law
3. Sinclair Broadcasting, another group in the 'liberal' media

1. The War on Poverty has become the War on the Poor

Myron Magnet extols President Bush’s theory of domestic policy in a Wall Street Journal editorial entitled: “The War on the War on Poverty.” He happily observes: “the second Bush term is bringing the War on Poverty--demonstrably a cataclysmic mistake--to an end. A glance at the administration's recent budget shows the ongoing dismantling of antipoverty programs: a sharp reduction in the Community Development Block Grant, the main conduit for funneling federal money to cities; the reduction in HUD money for Section 8 subsidized housing vouchers, which abets the formation of dysfunctional single-parent families and destabilizes respectable working-class neighborhoods; and the shrinkage of ever-expanding Medicaid.

2. The Christian Coalition wants to be above the Law

The Alabama Christian Coalition is upset over a campaign disclosure bill passed Tuesday by the state Senate. President John Giles called the legislation “nothing more than an attempt to get the Christian Coalition's contribution list, nothing more than an attempt to intimidate donors.”

3. Sinclair Broadcasting, another group in the 'liberal' media

Rolling Stone magazine profiles Sinclair Broadcasting and offers this assessment: “In the firmament of right-wing media outlets, Sinclair stands somewhere to the right of Fox News. Its archconservative politics may not be served up with Fox's raw-meat bite, but what Sinclair lacks in flash, it makes up for in unabashed cheerleading for the Bush administration.”
