I was channel surfing during the national newscasts last night. I found it interesting how CBS, NBC, and ABC only mention polls that favor John Kerry. This was most evident during a discussion of polls in Ohio. All three liberal giants mentioned the University of Cincinnati poll. Well, UC is a great school, but its polling techniques are highly biased in favor of Kerry. In the sample there were 45% Democrats and under 35% Republicans. What a skewed sample.
Here are some other interesting items.
+Sinclair Broadcasting has backed away from showing a documentary highlighting problems with John Kerry's Vietnam Service. In a press release, the broadcaster announced that it would not show the entire 42 minute film on Friday.
Behind the scenes, it seems that Sinclair caved into special interests, screaming Democrats, and possible lawsuits from board members and others.
In a related issue, Sinclair fired its Washington correspondent, allegedlly for criticizing the airing of the film. Sinclair says that the employee in questions was "disgruntled."
So, the screaming liberals have won again by intimidation and threats. It demonstrates the disdain by liberals for the First Amendment for anyone who disagrees with them.

+In a related item, ABC;s Pete Jennings says that he's concerned that the public wants journalists to be objective.
Jennings also criticized polls that showed the public believes the media is biased. Jennings said that these polls have a political agenda. Hey, Peter, the biggest poll conducted in this area was by Gallup. Do you no longer believe that polls from Gallup are objective? That is just dumb.
Another example of the liberal mindset.

+John Kerry does not understand how spending in Congress really works. Although he likes to spend and then tax, he doesn't get it.
Kerry claims that he will cut the deficit in half in four years. He says he will reinstitute fiscal responsibility in Congress. He says he will use the "line-item" veto to do.
The Line-Item Veto was passed by Congress in 1997. Shortly after passage, the Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional. The Court said that the Constitution only gives the President to veto whole bills.
So, Senator, what now? Raise taxes? Probably.
