IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES IS LOSING READERSHIP AND MAY GO UNDER…..

Have a look at JOHN HINDERAKER’S ANALYSIS over at the blog called POWERLINE.
.

In this blog post, he compares the Times’ reactions to GW Bush’s budget proposals back in 2004, and the analysis they applied at that time, to what is being said about the current spending plans in Washington D.C.
.

Here’s a short excerpt:
.

NYT, September 2, 2003:

The White House serenely brushed off a detailed caution from the Congressional Budget Office last week that the growth in the deficit is more likely to roar than retreat across the next decade, fed
by the three Bush tax cuts and other debt-fattening indulgences. If that warning was not enough, how about the concern reported at the International Monetary Fund that the administration has no
credible plan to restore budget balance? Yes, the I.M.F., which must lecture the profligates of the globe, is worried that a structural deficit will push up interest rates and restrain growth as America
ceaselessly borrows to steer red ink from imbalanced budgets onto future taxpayers.

Now that his planned deficits are four times larger, does Obama’s budget contain “debt-fattening indulgences?“ Has the Times denounced them? Does the Obama administration have a “credible plan to restore budget balance?“ Given that Obama’s intended budgets—put aside how optimistic his numbers may be—far exceed the actual deficits during the Bush administration, is the Times still “worried that a structural deficit will push up interest rates and restrain growth as America ceaselessly borrows to steer red ink from imbalanced budgets onto future taxpayers?“ If not, why not?

THIS IS THE AD THAT NBC WON’T ACCEPT FOR SUPER BOWL SUNDAY…....

As you can SEE FOR YOURSELF, they aren’t being honest about their reasons, either.

THE LEGACY MEDIA HAS MORPHED—IT’S NOW PART OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAMPAIGN…...

CHRIS MATTHEWS makes it official:
.

An incredulous Scarborough kept pressing, astonished at such a complete 180 from Matthews’s repeated insistence during the Bush presidency that he had to hold the government accountable.

SCARBOROUGH: Your job is the make this presidency work?

MATTHEWS: To make this work successfully. This country needs a successful presidency.

.
Let’s understand…...after eight years of holding the feet of the Bush Administration to the fire….five+ years of more or less open opposition to the war in Iraq, Chris Matthews, “journalist”, sees it as his JOB to use his position to make the Obama Administration a success.
. Well…..thanks for the ADMISSION and EXPLANATION, Chris.

HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT YOUR CREDIT CARD BILLS - LEST YOU CONTRIBUTE TO A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN UNAWARES

Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month—a $2300 donation to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The Larman’s say they don’t want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say they’re not about to give the Obama campaign any help from their pocketbook.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS “ACORN”......? UPDATED, and AGAIN, with Video

The short answer is ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS FOR REFORM NOW. Their site tells us that they are

...the nation’s largest grassroots community organization of low- and moderate-income people with over 400,000 member families organized into more than 1,200 neighborhood chapters in 110 cities across the country.

and the Home page has a story about voter registration drives. It all sounds really wonderful. But, there’s a dark side, as well.

ACORN employees and supervisors have been charged with multiple felonies for fraudulent voter registrations in Washington State, in the gubernatorial election won by the Democrat by 124 votes, after multiple recounts reversed the original outcome.

In addition to filing criminal charges, Satterberg said state and local officials had signed a five-year agreement with ACORN that requires the organization to beef up its training and procedures for detecting and reporting fraud.

ACORN agreed to pay King County $25,000 for its investigative costs and acknowledged that the national organization could be subject to criminal prosecution if fraud occurs again.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the worst case of voter-registration fraud in the history of the state of Washington. There has been nothing comparable to this,“ state Secretary of State Sam Reed said at a news conference with Satterberg, King County Executive Ron Sims and Acting U.S. Attorney Jeff Sullivan.
