Liberal Bias in the media
Cliff Kincaid writes an interesting article on Media Bias for the Media Monitor column at AIM.One interesting statement he makes concerns Susan Songtag:
" Srdja Trifkovic of Chronicles magazine pointed out that Sontag had a strange definition of courage. She was paying tribute to those willing to sacrifice their lives in order to kill others. But real courage, he points out, means doing the right thing in the face of fear. Sontag didn't know right from wrong. That's the real logic that escapes David Gates of Newsweek, and that's what he should have said about Sontag's statement. "
It seems that many extreme left/liberals have this problem; they seem capable of providing rationalizations of the most horrific behavior possible. Yes, there are nuances, or shades of grey to many things in life. Yet to say there is nothing that is inherently evil or wrong (except being a conservative it seems), is being disingenuous at best and deliberately misleading at the worst.
But then again, that is their apparent goal, to beguile and mislead, and above all avoid any real discussion on the 'merits' of their postitions.
