links for October 11th through October 18th
by 1115 at 5:30 pm on October 18th, 2007 in Bullets- WaPo: Taking a Whack Against Comcast - The inspiring tale of “75-year-old Mona “The Hammer” Shaw, who took the aforementioned implement to her local Comcast office in Manassas to settle a score, and boy, did she!” Guaranteed to warm the cockles of your heart. Coming soon as a Bob Dylan song.
- Liberally Mirth: Top 25 Censored News Stories, 2008 - A manageable summary of Project Censored’s top 25 stories that were overlooked, under-reported or self-censored by the MSM in 2006-2007. (Project Censored is a media research group out of Sonoma State University.)
- The Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY): McConnell versus truth - Mitch McConnell caught in a lie, and actually getting grief from the media. Only local media; NYT/WaPo have more important news to cover than a barefaced flatfooted lie by the Senate Minority Leader about a baseless hate-filled smear of a 12-year old.
- Miami Herald: ‘High-value detainee’ finally meets with lawyer - Oh frabjous day, calloo, callay! “A lawyer was finally allowed to meet with a ‘high-value detainee,’ who has been in custody without charges for four years.” To keep us safe, they met in a tiny locked Gitmo room with the captive chained to the floor.
- Think Progress: McConnell caught in a lie about SCHIP smear campaign - Lying. Does it come naturally to Republican leaders? Or do they put you through special seminars once you rise to your level of incompetence?
- TPMmuckraker: Today’s Must Read - Condi Rice’s State Dept., doing what it does best — derailing and stonewalling investigations.
- WaPo: Effort to Curb Illegal Workers’ Hiring Blocked - Judge to Bush and Chertoff: Next time, try to think a little first, maybe?
