Have you heard of this book? http://www.whatliberalmedia.com/
If you have then you would know that she is completely full of it.

Of course her book has a conservative "slant", that itn't a reliable source of anything.

I seem to need a recommendation to CF. They won't take my e-mail without it; I use hotmail.

Can anybody give me an endorsment?
Wow, sounds like some admin is really barfing up the stupid over there... not to mention the fact that you have to pay in "blessings" to change your user title.
Hopefully Jeebus doesn't actually judge people like that.

I would endorse you, except that I don't know how to do so.

Perhaps I didn't adequately explain myself. When I attempted to register, the site told me that they didn't accept free mail accounts, because there had been "abuses" in the past. The explanation said that an "endorsement" from a member in good standing would over-ride that. I'm not sure how it works--maybe a letter to a mod?

I reckon she's the only IIDF member in good standing at CF!

I went to the link and read the intro. Very good stuff, well thought out and well written. I also followed the link to the Esquire interview. I like this quote from E.A.
"To me the whole idea of bias is sort of bullshit.Another word for bias is context. The media should be biased and objectivity is a sham. In europe thats the way the media works:you buy a newspaper that shares your politics.

I like the way this guys thinks, he's honest about his beliefs and makes some good points. Thanks for the link.
