Does anyone else remember how the mainstream media treated President George W. Bush on September 11, 2001?

Honest Opinion, Or Giveaway?
I’m told by a Jewish friend that during what he called the “time of the judges,” the great panel of judges that ruled over the Jews had an interesting rule: a unanimous verdict of guilty automatically acquits the accused.

No Pretense
The “media megaphone” (William E. Simon) will no longer tolerate sharply dissenting voices: Now, for a Gentle Reader of Liberty’s Torch, this is “yesterday’s news” – literally. But Beck makes a connection that’s likely to have evaded even some of our most vigilant: the major automakers’ rumbling about no longer building AM radios …
