No, I am observing that you are trying to change the subject because you know you've lost.

You're whining about BSAMS being partisan because you hope we'll forget that the Associated Press put more than five times the number of reporters on Palin's book than it did on the healthcare bill.


Furthermore, even if BSAMS is partisan that doesn't change what AP did or what it says about their biases.

It's a Palin talking point that pretends one story by the AP about the health care bills equals one story about her book. I think most people understand that the AP probably has more resources invested in the health care bills on a regular basis than a short term time investment it used for the Palin book. It's a classic dodge by Palin herself to distract from her actual mistakes she made in the book. She seems to be good at that as well as blaming others and quitting.


furthermore her worshippers seem to also be good at running with her talking point.

As noted above, the question of BSAMS alleged biases is irrelevant to a discussion of bias at the AP. Therefore, you are trying to change the subject.

In addition, I note that the AP laid off staff last week. This means that their resources will be more, not less, stressed in the coming weeks and months. With diminishing staff comes diminishing ability to cover healthcare. Accordingly, the decision to devote so much of their (shrinking) staff's time to a biography over policy at this point in time would seem to demonstrate that their priorities lie less in good government and more in attacking politicians they disapprove of.

It doesn't though. Just because the AP mentions Palin in other stories isn't evidence that they are employing more resources on her. The 11 were just used for a short time, some minimally involved according to the AP. Palin and you can cry foul but it's a dodge from reallity.

You have tried to convince that the AP spending more time on Palin's book than on health care last week was excusable because of timing of events and because AP would make up the difference later.

I have demonstrated that the evidence does not support your argument. They are still covering her (and her book) and, further, they have now laid off staff that might have been used on healthcare coverage.

As such, the record clearly shows you're the one trying to "dodge..reality."

I'm not the one running away from the definition you posted. You however seem to be partisan for basams ;\)


Yes you are. You are running away from yourself every time you deflect your retardation onto someone else.


Nope. You posted a definition and I recognized that it applied to me. I of course also recognized that it also applied to basams and that it's something you can't discuss.


That's what I'm talking about, dimwit. Why are you obsessed with bsams?

Scripps Howard News Service
: Anti-Palin Bias Grips Media
  • So some people asked the AP a question itself ― had it devoted so many people to search out possible error in the autobiographies of other political figures, such as Barack Obama. It did not answer. I've got a guess the answer is ``no," for my impression is that there is not much even-handedness in fact checking among the media outlets I scan. Vice President Joseph Biden's constant flubs seemed to me to get far less attention during the 2008 campaign than Palin's, and when Obama gave a speech to Congress containing a half-dozen big-time errors, I do not recall an AP story telling me his propaganda show on health care had become no truer over time.


I went over to Media Matters and not even Soros is trying to claim the 11 vs 2 reporter story is false. No wonder Zick is flailing on this issue.

In a way, rex, you are being his bitch. He doesn't want to talk about the topic (the press) and so he's sucking you in to this whole "I'm not a bitch, you are" side topic.

And you're falling for it. He's doing to you what you do to WB.

You could be right. But other times, rex acts like he genuinely cares about a topic. In fact, he used to be a pretty interesting guy to exchange ideas with (about four or five years ago, admittedly). Therefore, sometimes I try to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Weekly Standard
  • With the release of hundreds of emails by advocates of global warming showing obvious and entirely inappropriate collusion by the authors -- including attempts to suppress dissent, to punish journals that publish peer-reviewed studies casting doubt on global warming, and to manipulate data to bolster their own arguments -- even the New York Times is forced to concede that "the documents will undoubtedly raise questions about the quality of research on some specific questions and the actions of some scientists."

    But apparently the paper... is taking a pass on publishing any of the documents and emails that are now circulating:
    The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won’t be posted here.

    This is the position of the New York Times when given the chance to publish sensitive information that might hinder the liberal agenda. Of course, when the choice is between publishing classified information that might endanger the lives of U.S. troops in the field or intelligence programs vital to national security, that information is published without hesitation by the nation's paper of record. But in this case -- the documents were "never intended for the public eye," so the New York Times will take a pass.
