I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

The Media, even when they're on our side they're not!

Skippy posted an article from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel slamming the Swift Boat Liars, that's good(see skippy for the good news). The problem is in the final paragraph:
Let it be emphasized that at least one 527 group has been running ads containing brazen and unsupported suggestions that Bush lied about his service in the National Guard during the Vietnam era
There are a couple of problems with this.
  • The work of this 527 has not had several hours of coverage daily on the Cable Tabloid Networks and front page in the print media. So much for fair and balanced.

  • "brazen and unsupported suggestions that Bush lied about his service in the National Guard during the Vietnam era."
    I don't think so!!!!! While there are bands of supporters and bands of detractors for Kerry, Bush has not been able to come up with one person who saw him on duty between April, 1972 and May 1973. While official documents verify Kerry's side of the story documents thus far released answer no questions about Bush being AWOL.

So once again even when the media appears to be "fair and balanced", it's not.
