You mean for two weeks you saw DailyKOS as "fair and balanced" ?
>>Whatever happened to the days when the media was supposed to be non-partisan?
That actually is a fairly recent concept. Newspapers particularly were almost always political party organs of some type.

>The same that happens to any other days, including the present day.

>>Surprisingly many here in the U.S. think their chosen sources of information (right or left) are non-partisan :o)

>For a while I thought DailyKos was the place, but that lasted about two weeks. They're still interesting for their diligence in poking holes in the official story, but they need someone to the left of them to poke holes in their story.
To the left of DailyKOS ( this just gets better and better ) Is Pravda or Izvetzia still publishing ?

>Can't expect anything to be independent as long as everything needs to be financed. And the business model of the news reporting media has long ago switched from "we print the truth and sell the news" to "we print anything that sells ad space". And therein lies the rub - there's a conflict of interest that goes as deep as the pockets of buyers of ad space.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
