Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

Steven Colbert is hilarious, you are right, hey I don't see how you can see Allawi's speech any other way, the guy is a Bush lackey and former CIA henchman, don't forget he worked for Saddam under the Iraq secret service the Mukabbarat, you think he doesn't have blood on his hands

anyway I agree with you I think NBC is the fairest out of the big three that is why I watch them, my point is you can lean one way but still have the journalistic professionalism to play it as down the middle as possible

I listen to Howard Fineman who probably is liberal, yet the guy presents both sides, you don't hear anything partisan out of him

Have you listened to the criticism Kerry has received in the press, Matthews basically declared his candidacy dead, he should know better than that with all of his political experience, and look at the equal time Matthews gave the swift boat vets, he had John O'Neill on again the other night, and sure Matthews is a liberal who will slant left

ok quick example, the NY Times is one of the best papers in the country, so is the Wall Street Journal, one slants left the other slants right, however the Ny Post is clearly a partisan conservative paper with not much credibility, and there are partisan liberal papers out there, maybe new york newsday is close to that with more credible reporting than the post

My point is you can be professional but still favor a more liberal world view or a more conservative world view and still be a pretty respected paper, I have read many negative Kerry things in the Ny times
