"A post of mine arguing that Bush and Rove are not manipulating gas prices, and couldn't if they wanted to.

"So much for that story. Did they just run a google search on 'gas prices' and screencap the results?

"Whoever's producing CBS News doesn't seem to grasp that 'the blogs' are not some undifferentiated goo to spread on stories for spice. The salient features of the blogosphere are its diversity and depth. Perhaps that explains why it's so alien to nightly news producers. Where the nightly news puts a homogenizing sheen on every 2 minute clip, blogs and blog posts vary wildly in length, tone, erudition, evidentiary support, and uses of the term 'wanker.' "

The Beeb is biased? Says who? Oh. BBC officials themselves, says the Daily Mail :

"It was the day that a host of BBC executives and star presenters admitted what critics have been telling them for years: the BBC is dominated by trendy, Left-leaning liberals who are biased against Christianity and in favour of multiculturalism.

"A leaked account of an 'impartiality summit' called by BBC chairman Michael Grade, is certain to lead to a new row about the BBC and its reporting on key issues, especially concerning Muslims and the war on terror.

"It reveals that executives would let the Bible be thrown into a dustbin on a TV comedy show, but not the Koran, and that they would broadcast an interview with Osama Bin Laden if given the opportunity. Further, it discloses that the BBC's 'diversity tsar' wants Muslim women newsreaders to be allowed to wear veils when on air.

"At the secret meeting in London last month, which was hosted by veteran broadcaster Sue Lawley, BBC executives admitted the corporation is dominated by homosexuals and people from ethnic minorities, deliberately promotes multiculturalism, is anti-American, anti-countryside and more sensitive to the feelings of Muslims than Christians."

That's a whole lot of anti-.

"One veteran BBC executive said: 'There was widespread acknowledgement that we may have gone too far in the direction of political correctness.' "

Just when you thought everything possible had been thrown at Hillary Clinton:

"Hillary Clinton's Republican challenger is getting personal and it's not pretty: He says the senator used to be ugly - and speculates she got "millions of dollars" in plastic surgery," says New York's Daily News .

" 'You ever see a picture of her back then? Whew,' said John Spencer of Clinton's younger days. 'I don't know why Bill married her,' he said of the Clintons, who celebrated their 31st anniversary this month.

"Noting Hillary Clinton looks much different now, he chalked it up to 'millions of dollars' of 'work' - plastic surgery."

" 'She looks good now,' he said."

Very generous of him. That ought to help with the women's vote.
