At least you were smart enough to list this one as "opinion".

Conason writes for Salon.com, so I find nothing wrong with someone
expressing an opinion on that site. However, a lot of the authors that
you've been quoting have been writing "opinion" pieces that have been
disguised as "news" in The Washington Post and NY Times. Of course, MSNBC
is quick to pick up this articles and redistribute them.

Whatever happened to objective journalism?

It exists, but it would be useless to Jim.

How would you be totally objective about someone whose entire reason for
existence is to create spin? :-) Seriously - how would YOU report that?
Write us a paragraph, NOYB. We're not talking about a train derailment - a
purely physical occurrence with little room for opinion.

As pure 100% All-American fact, Doug.

Haven't you caught on yet that these guys act is pure double think?

Anything claimed by a pro-Bush source, including paid-for advertising
and blatant partisan mudslinging is FAIR AND BALANCED. Anything else
(especially anything that might pass muster in the real world) is
libby-rull spinmeistering. Anything that portrays Bush & Cheney as less
than one-half step below divinity is TREASON as well as an obvious lie.

I don't think Nobby really thinks this way (because he is actually a
Socialist agitator), but the rest of them are hopeless. And this mob
wants to run the country based on the same denial, illogic, & wishful
thinking.

If two men are looking at an animal, and one says it's a German Shepherd
and the other one says it's a Chihuahua, they can discuss what kind of
dog it is. If one says it's a German Shepherd and the other one says
it's a tire balancing machine, then they have nothing to talk about.
