Holy crap, shocker number two.

First WorldNetDaily speaks out on the Gannon affair (I'm sure someone already posted a link to this one around here):
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42974

But now an even bigger shocker: WorldNetDaily is accusing the media of having a conservative bias.
http://worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...TICLE_ID=43031

Is that URL right? Did someone co-opt the URL to post parodies or something?

Bill Press is a California liberal Democrat. He must be their token from the dark side.

Did hell freeze or something?

Just this morning I found myself agreeing with Phyllis Schaffley (I hope I spelled her name right.)

One too many "f"s and no "e" before the "y." What was she saying?

She was pointing out unfairness in the child support laws when it comes to reservists called up to Iraq.

A reservist who is called up takes an involuntary drop in income. There's likely not time to get the child support award changed for the duration and it can't be changed retroactively when they get back.

Blind squirrel, nuts, law of averages and all that.

Why on Earth would WND host a piece written by Bill Press? I'm quite certain that Press isn't actually working for WND.

Note that this is about the Gannon affair as well. I suspect that WND is taking the "liberal" side of the issue because they're steamed over the whole gay prostitute thing.

Either that, or they got tired of having no credibility outside the far right. I'm quite flabbergasted, to be honest! I wonder if there were some personnel changes upstairs, and this is the start of a new trend in balanced journalism?
