Right on cue, here comes the mainstream media with their typical liberal spin. Spin might actually be a generous term because that implies that they're reporting on something and then allowing, intentionally or unintentionally, their own personal lefty bias to affect the way they discuss it. What we have in today's Ivory Tower is a case of a columnist appearing oblivious to some details and intentionally leaving others out entirely.

See here. At some point, stories like this one ought to be reckoned with and not just dismissed out of hand by those who have every incentive to preserve the status quo.
Posted at 7:51pm on Nov. 25, 2007 Fred Claims Fox Bias
By California Yankee
In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson accused the network of bias against his campaign.
During the interview, Chris Wallace pressed Thompson on how some conservatives have lambasted Thompson's campaign and showed clips of Fox conservative commentators Charles Krauthammer and Fred Barnes criticizing the former senator. Fred responded by attacking Fox:
"This has been a constant mantra of Fox, to tell you the truth." He noted that other conservatives have praised his bid for the GOP nomination and took issue with a Fox promo that focused on polling in New Hampshire, where Thompson is registering in the single digits.He said he is running second in national polls and has been leading or tied for the lead in South Carolina for "a long, long time."
Thompson, in a firm, but measured tone, scolded Wallace: "...for you to highlight nothing but the negatives in terms of the polls and then put on your own guys who have been predicting for four months, really, that I couldn't do it, kind of skew things a little bit. There's a lot of other opinion out there."
Fred didn't come off well in the exchange, which reminded me a little of Bill Clinton's temper tantrum during a Wallace interview.
You can watch a video clip of the exchange below:

By Martin A. Knight
No, I'm pretty certain the editorial board of the New York Times did read that Reuters article.
That's actually what they're referring to when they say the news out of Iraq is getting "worse."

Oh those rascally Neocons...
By Neil Stevens
What do do you when you're a mainstream press reporter, and your narrative of doom and gloom in Iraq is made more laughable every day by General Petraeus and his new strategy? Well, you need a new narrative of course.
Via Greyhawk at The Mudville Gazette we just might be seeing the beginnings of that new narrative. Says Newsweek:
The Bush administration is starving for good news out of Iraq, and it may finally have some: new U.S. government statistics showing that violent attacks of all kinds are down to levels not seen since 2005. But until recently, the administration appears to have resisted acknowledging a key element of the new data, because it flies in the face of President George W. Bush's ongoing rhetorical confrontation with Iran's clerical regime.
Part of me wants to respond to this with a couple pictures of owls, one captioned ORLY? And another replying YARLY! But now, I will soldier on and give this a serious look.
