And John Gibson. And Michelle Malkin. And David Brooks. And Tony Snow.
And Tony Blankely. And Fred Barnes. And Britt Hume. And Larry Kudlow.

1. Bill O'Reiley complains about the liberal media
in his popular, "bestselling" books

on his daily radio program

and

and his nightly hourlong television program.

2. Recommended
And sadly enough this is not a complete listing. I would love to see the right try to make a similar list. Of course they would point to Tom Brokaw. Flaming liberal there. :sarcasm:

7. They all have a point.
Because, in spite of their best efforts, the American people seem to be supporting a liberal, progressive agenda for the US. Must be damn frustrating to spend years working to brainwash the public, only to see the majority refute their BS and spinning.

19. The most dangerous of all was missed
Brilliant individual who mixes his political views so cunningly that he is pure poison.

Bio from his KGO page:

"Willard Harvey Wattenburg, fondly known as "Dr. Bill" to his devoted audience of backyard inventors and kitchen scientists, is sometimes called the world's smartest man. He is a world-renowned scientist and inventor, a successful businessman, and a best-selling author when he's not doing his successful weekend program on KGO. On his program, he uses his unbelievably vast scientific knowledge to share with his audience simple solutions to complex problems. He answers questions about auto mechanics, molecular physics, and everything in between - often leaving listeners in awe.

Throughout his life, Bill always had a way with science. He earned his doctorate in electrical engineering, and then went on to teach at Berkeley before founding several successful high-tech companies. Over the course of his career, Dr. Bill has done extensive research for the government. He was instrumental in designing the guidance computers for NASA's Apollo moon missions. He continues to be active in the scientific community and often receives much media attention for his clever, and useful, inventions. Among his many inventions are a robot mine sweeper that was utilized during Desert Storm, as well as a temporary kit that restored a Fresno bridge that was washed away during a flood. Dr. Bill is a handy man to have around; no wonder Bay Area listeners tune in."

He's even saying the Plame affair is the fault of LIBERAL MEDIA ! ! !

Did the CIA “Out” Valerie Plame?
What the mainstream media tells the court ... but won’t tell you.
...
THE MEDIA GOES TO COURT ... AND SINGS A DIFFERENT TUNE
Just four months ago, 36 news organizations confederated to file a friend-of-the-court brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington. At the time, Bush-bashing was (no doubt reluctantly) confined to an unusual backseat. The press had no choice — it was time to close ranks around two of its own, namely, the Times's Judith Miller and Time's Matthew Cooper, who were threatened with jail for defying grand jury subpoenas from the special prosecutor.

The media's brief, fairly short and extremely illuminating, is available here. The Times, which is currently spearheading the campaign against Rove and the Bush administration, encouraged its submission. It was joined by a "who's who" of the current Plame stokers, including ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, AP, Newsweek, Reuters America, the Washington Post, the Tribune Company (which publishes the Los Angeles Times and the Baltimore Sun, among other papers), and the White House Correspondents (the organization which represents the White House press corps in its dealings with the executive branch).

The thrust of the brief was that reporters should not be held in contempt or forced to reveal their sources in the Plame investigation. Why? Because, the media organizations confidently asserted, no crime had been committed. Now, that is stunning enough given the baleful shroud the press has consciously cast over this story. Even more remarkable, though, were the key details these self-styled guardians of the public's right to know stressed as being of the utmost importance for the court to grasp — details those same guardians have assiduously suppressed from the coverage actually presented to the public.
...

I assume the third paragraph is referring to the fact that the journalists did not break any laws.

This "article" literally made me ill. Duly warned.

Cheapness ... in the case of a monster movie ... has nothing to do with the budget of the film ... although it helps.

Good God, what Frank would say about these crooks if he was still alive!

I still think James Baker had FZ death rayed during the 88 tour when 60 Minutes was going to do a Zappa feature that never happened.

I went to 7 northeast shows during the 88 Tour, inclding the biggie at Nassau coliseum on LI. Long Island just loved Frank!

27. All I know ...
Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 04:11 PM by Drifter
(and I'm sure you do as well), is that Zappa hated touring towards the end of his life. The end of the 1988 tour was undoubtedly the last straw.

If Frank were alive today, there is no doubt in my mind, he would reluctantly pack all of his shit in the truck, and lug it around the country, trying to open the eyes of young people as he did in 1988 with the help of the LofWV.

I saw Frank for the first time in 1984 at the NYS fair.
I also saw him in Albany, Rochester, and Syracuse, NY on the 1988 tour.

I own his wardrobe case from the 1988 tour. I bought if from the ZFT when they first opened their Joes Garage sale (something like 10 years ago).

Cheers
Drifter

I consider myself a Zappa Conservative.

25. Wait 'til the water turns black....
Took me longer to learn the complex chords to that song than any other. Frank died WAY to young. Now I'll have to look up his death facts.

24. Good listing of GREAT AMERICAN's, exercising FREE speach. Our turn's next
By GREAT, I contend they are VERY successful media giants, VERY wealty and popular. BY DEFINITION they have HUGE access to the public's eyes and ears.
The LIBERAL MEDIA, on the other hand requires some real work to find.
By Contrast:
Pacifica hasn't created millionaires. Air America is similar.
CABLE channels requires $25 monthly and an install.
During the run-up to the Iraq/Afganistan invasions, Fairness in Accuracy & Reporting documented 300+ Generals and conservative, pro-war pundits on the main stations. Over same period, only 3 or 4 anti-war activists were interviewed!!
