The media was blasted from several sides yesterday. One criticism very much deserved, the other came from a former candidate seeking more publicity.
Howard Dean, better known for screeching than making sense, criticized news agencies for failing to "maintain democracy." Speaking at Yale, the former presidential candidate said that news agencies have lost their objectivity. Come to think of it, this is one of the few times I would agree with Dean. But the news media usually loses its objectivity in favor of left wingers like Dean.
Perhaps this is a case of biting the hand . . .

ABC is in a bit of trouble. While trying to cross promote Monday Night Football and its new show Desperate Wives, ABC used a naked Nicolette Sheridan and an Eagles football player in a scene that many see as pornographic or racist.
ABC apologized for the incident, but its statement lacked credibility or sincerity. In this case the network and the NFL were fully aware of the content of the promo.
The FCC is currently looking into the matter. Could there be a fine for the Mouse House and its owned stations? If the FCC is consistent in its rulings, yes and possibly bigger than the recent Viacom fine. While Viacom denied knowledge of the Janet Jackson planned incident, ABC cannot. This fine may, and should, be larger and possibly endanger license renewals for ABC stations.
In a related matter, the coach of the Indianapolis Colts said that he does not want his team appearing on MNF. Hey coach, if the league schedules you will you refuse to play? Now that would be interesting.

Here are some interesting items.
+Poor Linda Ronstadt. Her singing career is faltering. Her audience are booing her political comments. Now Ronstadt says that voting for the Republicans is similar to events that happened in Nazi Germany.
Isn't she lucky that she lives in a country that allows her to make such stupid and inappropriate remarks. If the US, under any administration, was like Nazi Germany, Ronstadt would be in jail or worse.
The fact that some media outlets, in this case USA Today, continue to interview left wing nutjobs, like Ronstadt, prove the liberal bias in the media.

+Today is the grand opening of "BubbahLand" or the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock.
The taxpayer funded building houses a variety of exhibits including one of the controversies and scandals during the Clinton years. Unfortunately, the Clinton Library, like Clinton himself, do not put the responsibility for the scandals where it should rest, on Bill Clinton. Instead the controversies are lumped together and sanitized to a Clinton perspective under the heading of the "politics of persecution."
Yes, the vast right-wing conspiracy is alive and well at the Clinton Library. Unfortunately, truth and history are not included. If future scholars are looking at the Clinton Presidency, they should avoid "BubbahLand."
