She has a plush job waiting for her at Stamford in 2009.....
And she had a oil tanker named after her! That should impress the boys.

journalism isn't about what you said. that's just what you would like for it to accomplish. i would like for it to accomplish that as well. but this isn't a journalistic site. it's simply a blog. this particular blog is geared towards mostly commenting on what journalists report. it's specific towards a certain view point and very bias. it can be cause it's not a newspaper nor does it attempt to be. those are different standards and serve different functions.

Umm, no.
Journalism is something slightly more complex than that.
Yes, journalism needs to challenge governments, but to suggest that it's only raison d'etre is to show that government is screwed up is simplistic, biased and insecure.

xoites defends Constitution @ 60:
actually, i would argue that the concept that Journalism has to be "bias" is fairy new, thanks to Rupert Murdock.
sure we can go down the line and argue about bias news sources all day long. but the good ones know who they are and they thrive on at least trying to be unbias. My argument was to make the distinguish between blogs and news sources cause Canuknotusa didn't seem to get it. blogs neither do not try to be unbias. and usually they don't try to be journalistic. blogs like this one in particular have a specific goal to start leftist political dialogue that exposes those who are deemed as crooks and liars. it's not a news source.
just cause they have cars in the lot doesn't make them car dealerships.
How does one NOT detect a political bias at C&L anyway?
If it smells like BS...
You forgot she is sleeping with the President and her bonus was the job of Secretary of State. George looked like a dog in heat when Connie came off the plane even the aides had to tell him to stop.

Oh, don't worry, I get it. Bloggers seem to want both sides of the cake, and the icing on the top. They like to challenge mainstream media, but don't dare hold themselves to the same journalistic standards.
Their contribution may not be helping as much as it is hurting.
I think the job of a journalist is to report the news. That doesn't mean that the journalist can't be personally biased, of course.
I mean, I haven't heard any Liberal talk show host be kind to the Dems for capitulationg to Bush. But then I don't listen to Lionel or Ed Shultz, so I could be missing something. :-)

that's cause THEY ARE NOT JOURNALISTS. they don't even claim to be. I challenge mainstream media myself and i'm not a journalist nor a blogger. i also like to challenge politicians, police, teachers, ect. i'm neither of those either (not a teacher anymore anyway). you don't have to be or even act like a certain occupation, group, or entity to challenge them to do what you would like them to do. and what you said only has to do with certain bloggers anyway. i think it would help if you look at blogs in their basic sense. then realize that this is only 1 type of blog with a specific purpose. then you wouldn't get confused about why they do what they do and have no bones about it.
ie if this were the http://flavoroflove.blogspot.com/ i wouldn't expect them to talk about a cooking show. this is a blog that deals with exposing certain political entities. so i don't expect unbiased journalistic reporting on all the posts.

Amy Goodman
Independent media can go to where the silence is and break the sound barrier, doing what the corporate networks refuse to do.
Amy Goodman
Journalism is the only profession explicitly protected by the U.S. Constitution, because journalists are supposed to be the check and balance on government. We're supposed to be holding those in power accountable. We're not supposed to be their megaphone. That's what the corporate media have become.
Amy Goodman
The media is absolutely essential to the functioning of a democracy. It's not our job to cozy up to power. We're supposed to be the check and balance on government.

Red-herring. You're trying to equate being against violence with being passave. To be most effective at preventing violence takes active pacifism.

I think I see your problem Canukno. I think you're confusing the definitions of "biased" and "bigoted".
As if Forbes is 'unbiased'.
Reading these two 'love ads', what strikes me is how Feingold's 'messy second divorce is breathlessly mentioned well before before his campaign finance reform, Harvard degree or being a Rhodes scholar:
Russ Feingold, 54
U.S. Senator
The Wisconsin Democrat is the subject of an admiring new biography, but a messy second divorce probably puts the kibosh on any presidential ambitions he may harbor. The champion of campaign finance reform is a former Rhodes Scholar and Harvard Law School graduate.
...while Condi apparently has no embarrassing skeletons rattling around in her - um - closet whatsoever:
Condoleezza Rice, 52
Secretary of State
You might think America's top diplomat has her hands full these days, but the former political science professor also finds time to relax by playing classical piano and watching football.
You want unbiased? From ANYWHERE these days?

Stanley Rosenthal @ 98:
I would have to agree with you, Stan.
I listen to people. If i think they are full of it i say so. If they have a serious and real argument i listen. Most of the "critics" who show up here have a head full of CRAP.

Sorry, but I don't agree.
If the only way to prevent violence was be being passive (with an i), why would one consider the size and physical prowess of a bar bouncer, for instance, rather than his passiveness, in ones decision to try, or not to try, to violently crash a party?
The same reason why Luxembourg wouldn't likely try to attack and occupy the US...
Canuknotusa @ 4:
Seriously, when was C&L ever unbiased? C&L recognizes the bush administration and the current iteration of the Republican party for the fools' parade they are, and that's always glaringly obvious from the headlines it prints and the videos it posts and the text excerpts that appear on its first page. It isn't straight news, it's OPINION, and opinion, by definition, cannot be unbiased. I've been reading C&L for quite some time now, and never once did I consider it unbiased.
Canuknotusa @ 106:
Bar bouncers?
Is that all you have been able to come up with?

The comments and news article can provide more details/evidence to this than I am willing to right now (sorry Im tired, and disturbed). What gets me though is why has Youtube suspended comments and voting on both of these? They also happen to be the only videos on the site I could find; though, every other video I tried on Youtube works. Also there is a huge difference in the views number between the actual page and the link when you search for it. Are they trying to protect the officers, er, I mean 'protesters'? I mean, I hate buying in to conspiracy theories but when its all that they give you...
Fuckin' hell, if this is happening in the supposedly liberal haven that is Canada what do we have to look forward to? I must say though, that once again the internet provides true power for the people. Im sure this is nothing new, however, now the truth can not be kept hidden; masked, if you will.
Canuknotusa,
Dear Friend,
You seem so removed from the concept of nonviolent resistance to injustice that a mere trading of words in the comment section of a liberal blog site seems beyond what you need to grasp.
My real question is quickly becoming: "Why am I still awake?"
That question is becoming all consuming...
i think this is the point in the dialogue where everyone should realize that they completely drifted off topic and is no longer in engaged in useful conversation. you are now just arguing for the sake of it.

Sorry, I should have said Condi was in charge of saving Iraq for a brief golden age at the end of 2003. But try to find anything about it now. I had to link to a Russian article that had phrases like "flicking a fly off Donald Rumsfeld's nose." It was probably written by a hooligan. G'night.
Wow. This sparked all that discussion?
Canuknotusa @ 4:
Yes, concern troll extraordinaire, Canuknotusa, would like an editorial blog to become the objective, first-hand reporting it once was in his head. I've been away from the blogosphere for a while, and gee whiz, C&L, how dare you post a humorous look at a magazine's choice for "most eligible bachelorette" to prompt an open thread? Just when I think we've sunk to the depths!

Congrats, nonny mouse!! And don't go thinking you can't sell the degree; people purchase degrees on the internet all the time, largely to lend fake credence to their "theories" about creationism or some such matter. :)
No, seriously, congratulations!
Donald Trump brought up this one issue with Condi, is that she never has made one deal with foreign relations.
OK sitemonitor, I know I am off-topic here, so I'm not gonna be mad if I get deleted, but am I the only one who suspects that a whole lot of these trolls are professionals? Does anyone have any real info on that? CIA? FBI? RNC? FOX?
This is a serious question and I have been wondering if it has been seriously addressed by non tin hat types. If so, i would appreciate being directed to the discussion; if not, I wonder if you could set one up.
I remember extensive use of agents provocateur to disrupt the peace, civil rights and other popular causes in the 60s and 70s and every progressive site I go to seems to be well populated with these slick, thread disrupting trolls. Since you have my email address, if you would rather delete this and email a response, that is fine with me.
I would comment further on C, Rice, but she makes me gag.
Hi Karen! :-)

No.

Hi back, Stan. I've been asleep for a little while. Is Bush still the president? I was hoping it was all a bad dream. Alas.
I saw No End in Sight tonight. No new information for my wonkish little head, but oh, to see all the government officials reciting it first-hand was overwhelming nonetheless.
UnEasyOne @ 139:
buddy, its an open thread
Wow. I take the night off and look what insues... dang.
Hey Nonny! How're you enjoying NZ?
There was a group in Salem that were hired to disrupt a peaceful protest.
Here is my nagging thought on this. Ever feel like those the escape from the Hitler regime have infiltrated to the Republican party? It seems that the further I look back to the party and the CIA involvement looks more and more like the group we fought against in WWII. The direct connection of Bush grandfather to the Nazi, and now Bush comparison of Vietnam to Iraq, still selling us fears.
Every Republican I talk to are sold into this regime on fear. I don't anyone caught Doonesbury's this weekend? had a soldier returning home and he brought back an Al-Quida looking for a place to rent.
I'm back too Karen, but after tonight, I'm not gonna be able to do these latenighters during the week, so look for me on weekends an/or get your head out of your legal books earlier during the week so you can see me. please? ;-)

Duh! Realized that after I posted. Thanks!
I used to think that deleting anybody's comment was an abridgment of free speech - anathema to me. That was before I encountered all these ##%@ trolls. Now I am gleeful when one gets banned, kicked, deleted or otherwise shown the door. I have no problem at all with honest arguments made by people with whom I heartily disagree. Never happens with a troll.
It is like there is a school somewhere for sidestepping, obfuscating, grammar quibbling, needling and general thread-derailing. The tactics don't vary and these trolls are all articulate and excellent grammarians - they get really excited about any tiny grammatical error, as if that invalidates an entire argument. Matter of fact that is the easiest way to spot one - make a spelling or grammar error. When they pounce, grab the net - you've got your troll!
Sometime if your lucky, you will find a grammatical error in the response from a troll on the other grammatical error. they gets so excited and make mistake. But to err is human!

Don't fall for it! It's a trick!
Its a troll world. there are trolls all over trying to defend the useless fucks in WH and their lost followers. Even trolls on 911 sites trying to debunk the debunkers. Goo dthing you cant debunk carved in stone science. But they try anyways. Poor dumb lemmings. I hope they follow the Chimp Asshole right over the cliff too.
