Bill Ayers and Jeff Jones
''"By the way, in case it, too, has escaped your attention, Jeff Jones, who co-founded the terrorist group the Weather Underground with none other than Bill Ayers, the fellow presidential candidate Barack Obama could barely recall ever having met, is currently a close adviser to President Obama. Sincerely, Burt Prelutsky"
I hear from readers all over Americ
a complaining that their local newspapers seem to be nothing more than house organs for the Democrats. You have to wonder if every last daily is being subsidized by George Soros because they all seem to be losing readership and ad revenue at record rates, and yet they persist in reviling half of their potential subscribers.
My wife often wonders why I continue subscribing to the L.A. Times. There used to be three reasons, but that was before I discovered that I could access box scores at MajorLeagueBaseball.com. One, because I kept threatening to cancel my subscription, they finally offered me a rate that comes close to their paying me to take it. Two, it lets me know exactly what lies and propaganda the other side is trumpeting without my having to tune in the likes of Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann.
It isn't simply the editorial page and the op-ed page that is devoted, Pravda-like, to heralding the greatness of our glorious leader. It is every single section of the newspaper, including book and movie reviews, business and even the letters to the editor. It was bad enough when, for eight years, one couldn't escape the constant harping on George Bush, but now that Obama is president, all the jeers have turned to cheers.
I find it very telling that although I wrote a humor column for the Times for 11 years in the days when it took its journalistic responsibilities seriously, I can no longer even get a letter published.
Joseph Farah's book "Stop the Presses: The Inside Story of the New Media Revolution" explains why traditional news sources are gasping for breath amid Internet, talk radio phenomena
Just recently, I had occasion to write a couple. Although I am not the most ecologically minded person in the world, I do hate to waste perfectly fine letters just because the Times refuses to acknowledge that there are any conservatives in Los Angeles. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=109894
