I didnt say the Washington Post is Liberal. Please feel free to underline where I said that.Originally posted by Spiffor
SpencerH :
For the second time in 24 hours, I see someone telling the Washington Post belongs to the liberal media.
Since I post here, I've always seen the Washington Post as being extremely supportive to Bush and his team, and I haven't seen any opposition from its part. Besides, it's DanS' favourite read, and I highly doubt Dan would read liberal media first, given his opinions. To me, the Washington Post has always been the serious news outlet from the right wing in the US, so I wonder why you consider it liberal (yeah, sure, they initiated the Watergate scandal...)
I can't wait to see you and other rightists whining about how liberal FOX is...
What I was refering to are unfounded statements about how the incident was staged (with the customary subplots about what the government knew etc). Who do you think is replaying this same tired trash, the conservatives? The Dems are doing everything in their power to discredit the Bush administration and their handling of the war, and this is just another example of that.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

It's a liberal paper.
There are very few conservative national news sources in the US. The Wall Street Journal being the best and most widely known.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

Cuba ehh? If I thought socialism really could work, I'd be there.
Slow? Don't you remember how made this post? I was a pro-war guy remember? I have been accused of being a huge conservative. I like Bill O' Reilly for crying out loud.
I'm not a liberal.
But I'm not some mindless conservative who believes everything the goverment tells them. But I'm also not a liberal who autmatically doesn't believe what republicans say. I gave the Bush administration the benefit of the doubt. Until they actually lied to me, I believed them.
But now they crossed the line. Between this and weapons of mass destruction I am pissed. Yes I am still glad Iraq is gone (although I think the U.N. should be running the peacekeeping- we aren't doing a good job peackeeping). We kicked some major ass, I have no regrets about that. Honestly I didn't support the war to get rid of WOMD. But the fact remains, that the Bush administration appears to have lied about that. Even though I didn't care about the WOMD, I don't appreciate the president lying blatantly like that.Comment

You have to turn that around. Always assume politicians are lying, unless proven otherwise.“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)Comment

I'm not that cynical
Is it too much to ask that politicians don't lie to the public?
I don't care if they lie about the small stuff- everybody does that. But I do take exception to lying about matters that involve people dying.Comment
