Grades 9-10
Reading RI.9-10.6
Standard 6: Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text and analyze how an author uses rhetoric to advance that point of view or purpose.
Breakin' it Down:
This standard asks students to figure out the author's point of view or purpose for writing the text.
In most informational texts, the authors discuss their opinions on the topics in a clear and forthright manner, and also give plenty of evidence to support their arguments. But occasionally, an author can be subtler, and students are going to have to scour the text for tone, and for critical or judgmental words that point to the author's attitude.
The second part of this standard focuses on rhetoric, which can be a lengthy topic to cover in class. For 9th and 10th graders, it might help to focus on rhetorical devices that show up frequently in informational texts and speeches, such as:
Teach With Shmoop
Tag! You're it.

Example 1
Teacher Feature: Ideas for the classroom
1. HATCHLING: War of the words
Get out those highlighters! As students read opinion pieces, have them highlight words and phrases that show judgment. (Make sure students also highlight or write down what each of those words are describing.) Then, have students isolate just those words and phrases, and separate them into general categories: positive, negative, neutral.
Wars have been started over single words! Encourage students to explain how just a single word from the list can instantly show the author's opinion on a topic. It is also helpful to give students a list of "tone words" (for instance: earnest, whimsical, sarcastic, indignant, and so on) to help them pinpoint the most precise description of the author's attitude.
Example 2
TAKE FLIGHT: Great speeches scavenger hunt
When you're reading a novel in class, it's always helpful to give students primary documents from the time period at hand. So, a great way to integrate this standard into your teaching is to pick contrasting speeches or opinion pieces about a hot topic from the book: racism, sexism, the distribution of wealth, and so on.
Give students time to dissect each text and figure out the author's stance. Have them record the rhetorical devices that they notice in each text. This opens the door for an awesome historical discussion of a tough subject, while also giving them a chance to practice this standard!

About Me
Hi there! I am Brad White, a self-taught, amateur photographer based in Plano, TX that began shooting in earnest in August of 2012 after I picked up my first DSLR. My work is a result of experimentation and creating a deep connection between the camera and my subjects.
I am particularly interested in delving into fashion and portraiture work even though my port might seem to encompass a bit of everything at the moment. I offer professionalism and a 110% commitment to delivering images that can benefit everyone's port, as well as an easy-going attitude and an openness to models that have their own creative ideas. I love processing as much as shooting and will turn your work around FAST.
MM'ers I've worked with:
Violet Louise Marie #2990447
Melissa Jean #546548
Liz Ashley #26159
Cat Hedlund #1771218
akob #2837805
In addition to working with models, I would LOVE to collaborate with MUAs and hairstylists to produce stunning images, so let's put a team together and create ART!
I look forward to hearing from you...

These are the same fans that if Cam was to get hurt would abandon the stadium, station, and their limited edition Cam Gatorade bottles before Derek could step on to the field. Me, no thats not me. I watched Jimmy, I watched Testeverde, I watched Rodney Peete. I rooted for all of them. Lets hope they turn into Panthers fans, and arent just Cam fans. we all started somewhere and there was never any guarantee we would stick with it. same goes with them. you don't have to respect them. you don't have to respect anyone. life is just a lot easier and more enjoyable if you aren't spending your time looking down at other people. just appreciate the added company and noise at games. appreciate the extra seats on the bandwagon that are getting filled up. appreciate the extra panther jerseys at away games. appreciate the extra hands in the circle jerks. appreciate the moment. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By Nasser Al Harthy
DOHA: Works on the Light Rail Transit System (LRT) at Lusail are going full speed ahead with close to three of the four kilometres of tunnels to be built in the current phase already completed, but Qatar Diar Vinci Construction (QDVC), the builder of Qatar's first railway transport system is taking major initiatives to tackle the environmental challenges involved.
The LRT includes four light rail operation lines, 7 underground stations in addition to 22 at grade stations, 6.6km underground plus 18km at grade, one viaduct and a station over Al Khor Highway, a depot, operation and maintenance workshop.
During a site tour organised by QDVC for the media, the tour group guided by Philippe Tavernier, Project Manager of LRT visited the pilot state-of-the art waste water treatment system and took stops along the journey for additional briefings on key milestones of the project and environmental priorities set by QDVC such as sedimentation and waste disposal.
For instance, some 230,000 litre per day of water is pumped during excavation works which is an indication of the challenges that they pose.
On the water recycling system, Tavernier says, "This is not a new system but it is very rare to implement such a system on a site installation. What is new is that we are starting on a temporary basis in the construction facilities on the project."
He said that the system helps save water and what is more no more polluted water is discharged in the sewage system. "For the time being the tanks are very small, but they will grow and in a year or so you will see them a lot bigger and it has demonstrated that it is working and the resulting clean water can be reused in lavatories," he said, adding that the system will be eventually applied on other QDVC sites.
The Quality Health Safety and Environment (QHSE) team of LRT created a closed water circuit with filters to re-use the water and clean the engines and equipment with it. Moreover, no polluted water is released to the environment with this system.
Besides, QDVC inked agreements with local companies for paper, cardboard and plastic recycling; and partners Qtel for the electrical and electronic waste collection. A dedicated trained team is segregating the waste in the suitable collection points, because a worksite like the one at Lusail generates several types of waste, especially in plastic packaging.
"The hardest thing to get rid of is plastics, so we segregate them to keep the absolute minimum amount of any particular waste stream for good environmental reasons, but we also segregate them for good financial reasons as well," said Neil Smith from the QHSE.
Another official from the QDVC said that for recycling the waste great care is taken to deal with local companies. "The Qatari SME recycle them and fabricate plastic granulates and sell to other industries. We try to make it local as much as possible," she said.
As for such wastes as wood, it is chopped into small particles and is compressed into bricks which reduces the volume of wood that would either be disposed of by incineration or at land fill. "This system reduces the volume of wood that we would get rid of by 90 percent and will deteriorate much quicker," said Smith.
QDVC officials said LRT is an eco-friendly project on its own as a public transport system aiming at decreasing the congestion and pollution of the new city of Lusail.
The site offices are well isolated to decrease energy consumption, generators at stand-by at night to save fuel.
"We are very committed to environment protection in the country and we are among the first companies that tries to raise awareness on environment protection such as through seminars in schools on its benefits," Eng Hamad Al Bishri, QDVC Deputy CEO told reporters after the tour.
Meanwhile, QDVC is currently working in Lusail for the car parks and the LRT, on the Sheraton Park Site Project, in the PS70 Doha North Sewage JV, in the Qatar Bahrain Causeway JV and in Eritrea on the Dahlak Island Resort. The Peninsula

"Despite the genre's ubiquity and ongoing popularity in American television, no book has offered a compelling critical account of the cop show―until now. Through compelling readings of many landmark programs, Jonathan Nichols-Pethick connects textual style, industrial practices, cultural representations, and changing social contexts to reveal debates over crime, citizenship, realism, and mediation itself that will transform how we view one of television's most iconic genres." ―Jason Mittell, Middlebury College
"Not only the authoritative work on police series―one of television's most multitudinous and enduring forms―but a first-rate piece of television studies. Nichols-Pethick connects 30 years of cultural, industrial, and storytelling developments in a clear and compelling analysis." ―Amanda D. Lotz, University of Michigan
About the Author
Jonathan Nichols-Pethick is Associate Professor of Media Studies at DePauw University. His work has appeared in The Velvet Light Trap, Cinema Journal and the anthology Beyond Prime Time: Television Programming in the Post-Network Era.

Cyndy Parr commented on an older version of Red bull ant:
@John Tann: Everything should be good now -- it will no longer appear on the plant genus page, and will appear on the correct ant species page AND automatically on all the higher taxon pages for the ant (it is not necessary to manually associate with higher taxa if the system knows them). It will still show as "unreviewed" until a curator with the appropriate expertise decides to trust it. Let's see if we can get Adam Lazarus to take a look.
John Tann commented on an older version of Red bull ant:
@Patrick Leary: Patrick, Thanks for correcting a wrong association here. Do you know what happens now? Will this image also be untrusted as an image of an ant, or is it just untrusted as an image of a plant? Do I sit back and wait for it all to be fixed, or should I be doing something? John
John Tann commented on an older version of Snakeweed in the wild:
@Jason Sharp: Jason, this is an interesting one.
C W Andrews found Stachytarpheta indica growing at Flying Fish Cove when he visited Christmas Island in 1897.
The Australian Plant Name Index suggests that this plant has had the name Stachytarpheta jamaicensis wrongly applied in Flora of Australia, volume 50 and also the name Stachytarpheta cayennensis wrongly applied by Munir, A.A. (1992) A taxonomic revision of Stachytarpheta Vahl (Verbenaceae) in Australia, Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens 14(2).
To the untrained eye, this plant is not uncommon on Christmas Island. Only one species of Stachytarpheta was reported (though given the wrong name) in the Flora of Australia, volume 50, 1992 (expand the Hierarchical Names List Entry).
I would be surprised if it were me photographing something new.

Hamming It Up On Linux
The first house has something very different about it, seen even without the binoculars. You can see a 50-foot tower looming high into the sky. On the structure are scores of antennas in every size and shape imaginable. As you "peer" into the den of the house, you see more electronic equipment than you would expect to find at the local radio station. There are dials, lights, LEDs, and meters of every kind. There are the sounds of Morse code, static, and eerie-sounding human (human?) voices. The man at the equipment has a microphone in front of him, and in his right hand there is a telegraph operator's key.
Now, moving to the second house, we see a typical home, like you'd expect in Anytown, USA. Nothing unusual as we approach it. So get out the binoculars! (Come on, get into the shadows. Someone will see us!)
In the den of this home, we find an ordinary-looking man sitting at his personal computer. His eyes seem a bit bleary, but he seems to be enjoying whatever it is that he is doing. Looking closer, you can see that the operating system is obviously Linux, as he swaps virtual consoles at the speed of light. But then he stops on one VC which seems to be an IRC-type chat group, but instead of "handles", each VC is identified by a cryptic series of letters and numbers...
Okay, put the binoculars down. What do these two men have in common? They are both amateur radio operators. And amateurs have been migrating to Linux in remarkable numbers. In this article, I'll try to give the non-amateur a feel for why this is occurring, from an insider's viewpoint (yes, I'm one of them: KO4KS is my amateur radio callsign).
Without getting into the nitty-gritty details of it, the countries of the world cooperate together to provide radio spectrum for use by licensed operators for experimentation, public service, and just plain fun!
Amateurs have a wide variety of radio-related ways to enjoy their hobby. There is the traditional Morse code, shortwave, as well as local voice communications. In addition, among others, there are satellite communications, participation with the space program, and something called packet radio.
Most of you have probably seen e-mail addresses in the "ampr.org" domain. These are addresses of amateur radio operators, using packet radio. But how did they get on the Internet? Don't get ahead of me....
Packet radio is described by some as Ethernet over radio (though Ethernet used to be described as packet radio over wire). Anything you can do over Ethernet can be done over packet. Packet operators and programmers have been highly involved in many Internet RFCs as they have found ways around the problems encountered in using radio in this manner.
Packet radio uses a variation of the X.25 protocol called AX.25 (Amateur X.25). Their radios are connected to their computers with a little packet modem.
Initially, the "killer app" of packet radio was the Packet BBS (PBBS). PBBSs are pretty crude by today's BBS standards, but they pass messages internationally by means of thousands of individually owned radio sites that relay the mail, hop by hop along the way. Some packet PBBSs have HF ("High Frequency"--which, paradoxically, is at the very low end of the frequencies used for packet radio) ports for passing the mail over longer hops, but most hops are only a few miles each.
Then, several years ago, Phil Karn/KA9Q wrote a program called NET, to incorporate AX25 and TCP/IP together on computers running MS-DOS. As time progressed, NET became NOS (Network Operating System), which was now a multi-threaded application allowing multiple incoming and outgoing sessions. I am told that some commercial manufacturers have licensed the KA9Q code as a base for their development, and many of the new and modified protocols have made their way into commercial wireless TCP/IP networks.
Phil made his code available freely to amateurs and for educational purposes and even has allowed variations to spring up. There are many "xNOSs", such as WNOS, JNOS, PMNOS, etc. and others that I'm sure I missed. I'm a little partial to Tampa NOS (TNOS), since I am the one who has developed this variation.
This interest in TCP/IP leads very naturally to Linux, but even more so when you consider the limitations of a program like xNOS under MSDOS. Good ol' DOS doesn't have a linear memory map, TCP/IP or multitasking built in. And it does have the 640K conventional memory barrier. It also requires dedicating a computer to xNOS under DOS.
Packet Radio Meets Linux
Linux is a good move for xNOS, since the DOS-related restrictions are gone. A couple of xNOSs have already been ported to Linux, including TNOS. Those interested can find it at ftp.lantz.com:/tnos/current/linux. For Web slingers, try www.lantz.com.
NOS under Linux is still a large program, with all of the same features as the DOS version, including its own TCP/IP stack. You can connect TNOS to the Linux TCP/IP stack by means of a ptty SLIP or PPP link.
Amateur Radio TCP/IP is passed over the real Internet by Amateur gateways. These gateways exist both on the Internet and on the local packet network. Other non-gateway Amateur packet stations can pass packets through the gateway to Amateur stations on the other side of distant gateways. This is done by encapsulating the 44.xx.xx.xx addresses (addresses assigned to the ampr.org domain) into "real" Internet addresses for passing through the backbones.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The Traveling Kitchen Catering Service, Inc., is a business that does exactly as the name describes: the kitchen travels to wherever the people are to serve them delicious food.
By LORI SOLA | For the Pioneer
The Traveling Kitchen Catering Service, Inc., is a business that does exactly as the name describes: the kitchen travels to wherever the people are to serve them delicious food.
Since July 2008, the mother-daughter team of Donna Graham Crow and Jennifer Pond have been catering various events in the area. This family owned and operated business has the motto, "No job too little or too big."
"We started at the golf course cooking for men's and ladies nights," Donna said. "Jennifer did the grill work and I waited tables and cooked the special meals for the night."
It wasn't long before they began catering bigger events such as Nite at the Races, business meetings, concessions at the high school rodeo finals, benefits, corporate lunches, Christmas parties, auctions, NRA banquets, farmer rancher appreciation banquets, and anniversary parties, Crow explained through an email.
"The largest banquet we have catered was around 350 meals," Donna said. "Today, I do most of the cooking and Jennifer helps with the setup and serving. Unless we have steaks, then Jennifer does the grilling if she's available." Donna's sister, Ronda Miller, and Donna's grandchildren often help out at events.
Although customers usually know what they want when they contact Donna and Jennifer, they do make suggestions from time to time. And with over 100 cookbooks, inspiration is only a fingertip away.
More valuable than her collection of cookbooks, however, is Donna's life-long experience that began at the tender age of five.
"I grew up in a bake shop," Donna said. "My mom was a baker in Smitty's Bake Shop and Café in Baker, Mont." She helped out with small things until she began waiting tables at age 13 then began working the grill after it became Nellie's Bake Shop.
Throughout the years, Donna has also worked at the bowling alley in Baker, Mert's Café in Marmarth, Gateway in Bowman, Green Dragon Loft in Baker and Nite Train Steak House in Harlem, Mont., before owning her own business in 1997.
"I had the honor of having Hunter's Table and Tavern in Rhame for seven years," Donna said. "In 1999, we created The Rough Neck Burger…a hamburger on Texas toast with hot sauce, fried onions, pepper jack cheese and bacon. It quickly became the signature burger."
In 2001, The Hunter's Table and Tavern was featured on The Food Network show and many of their recipes were used in different magazines. During that time, Jennifer cooked and waited tables.
"Most times if we find something new we want to try, we will cook it as a noon special at the Rhame Café first," Donna explained. "If it's a hit, we'll keep the recipe. If not, we don't try it again."
In September, the family celebrated their third anniversary at the Rhame Café. By keeping the café open, they were able to continue serving senior meals three days a week and decided to serve the public six days a week.
"Both Jennifer and I enjoy interacting with and serving the public," Donna said. "I love it when they truly enjoy and appreciate what we make for them."
The Rough Neck is still served today with the addition of jalapenos and ghost pepper cheese, if requested, as well as a new creations called the TKC Burger, a hamburger, special sauce, Swiss cheese, ham, bacon and two onion rings on a homemade bun.
Rhame Café is also known for their pan-fried chicken, succulent roast beef, Indian tacos and homemade hamburger buns.
Rhame Café is located at 56 Main Street and is open Monday – Saturday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., featuring a noon special every day.
â� For questions regarding Rhame Café or the Traveling Kitchen Catering Service, Inc., call 701-279-6900.

Hold that train!
February 10, 2003
You'll want to hop on board for this episode of How to Host a Murder. This particular one stands out as one of the most involved yet fun mysteries to solve. If you can pronounce the difficult geographical places, you'll be all set to put together the pieces of the puzzle. The characters from other episodes are sometimes easy to eliminate, but in this one everyone looks guilty, so it makes for an intriguing night of who-done-it. I highly recommend hopping on board this train.

Light-induced changes of extracellular ions and volume in the isolated chick retina–pigment epithelium preparation
To better understand the mechanisms of extracellular space volume regulation and their possible effects on retinal function, light-induced changes in the concentrations of the principal extracellular ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Cl−) were measured with ion-sensitive microelectrodes in the chick retina–pigment epithelium–choroid preparation. Changes of extracellular space volume were assessed by measuring the concentration of an impermeant marker, tetramethylammonium. In the inner retina, transient ON/OFF Na+ decrease was about twice as large as K+ increase, and the charge difference was compensated by a decrease in Cl− concentration. The ion changes were accompanied by extracellular space-volume decreases here. In the subretinal space, [Na+]o increase was about twice as large as K+ decrease, yet [Cl−]o also decreased; this was accompanied by a sustained extracellular space-volume increase. The ionic changes in the inner retina are consistent with a model of extracellular space-volume regulation which assumes that neuronal depolarization causes net uptake of NaCl, cell swelling, and extracellular space shrinkage. However, to prevent the apparent violation of electroneutrality in the subretinal space, our simple model should be expanded to include the involvement of unidentified anion(s). Substantial changes in the subretinal space volume may influence interaction between the neural retina and pigment epithelium. Among ionic changes, only the light-induced [K+]o decrease around the photoreceptors and the [Ca2+]o increase near the photoreceptor bodies and synaptic terminals are large enough (−25% and 7.5%, respectively) to be likely candidates for integrated intercellular signaling.(Received October 5 1998)

Even before Zell Miller jumped Chris Matthews last week, I noticed something had changed. During the entire week, when an interviewer colored a question with anti-GOP shiboleths, the person being interviewed shot it down...aggressively.
I believe Karl Rove and gang perceives a wounded enemy after the damage the MediaCrats did to themselves over the Swifty story. The blogoshpere whipped their a$$ in that case.
I think the turning point was the Michelle Malkin interview on Hardball. It was such a grand display of the left's rhetorical trick of twisting what a conservative says and mistating their position over and over and over. Michelle was caught flat-footed by it...she should have directly challenged Chris's misquote. I think the Bushies said "never again". Note that Zell Miller, in his tirade against Matthews, referred back to the Malkin case.
It appears to me that, after the Malkin ambush, Rove and company decided it was time to smash the media's biased concept of conservatives. I believe the talking points must have gone out...don't take it anymore. Slap 'em when they preface a question with some insult to conservatives. When David Gergen tried the old trick of tying Zell to southern racists, Laura Ingraham jumped on him like a junkyard dog and forced him to retreat.
It happened time and again last week...conservatives refusing to move on until the host retracted some implication that the GOP is mean, heartless, racist, etc. This is new to me. Did anyone else notice it?
About time!
I think you will find this observation of interest.
What is going on is the awareness that the Old Media's long black night of power and endless deceit is OVER. We are mad as "Zell" and we are not going to take it anymore!!!
The truth and 650 thousand trumps lies and 65 million dollars. The socialists can't understand why this can happen. Their entire problem solving consists at throwing money at the problem and when it doesn't help throw more money at it.
'Bout Time!Hope everyone is armed and ready...!
I think Michelle Malkin was our lovely sacrificial lamb. She's tough as nails and every bit as smart as their best. We'll always remember the alabaster serenity of her quiet self-determination. They went too far with her, and the backlash is still coming.
"Slap 'em when they preface a question with some insult to conservatives."
Alan Colmes is a great practitioner of this tactic and needs to be confronted on it.
I'm not talking "conspiracy". I just think someone may have put together a video of reporters left-tilted rhetorical devices. Example: Chris Matthews kept throwing back at Michelle Malkin, "You're saying he SHOT HIMSELF?!". No, she'd never said that. She said the wound may have been self-inflicted, meaning accidental blow-back. But Chris quickly applied the Dem trick of making her sound as radical as possible. It's a device the Dems and MediaCrats use all the time.
I still think it's a deliberate counter-assault. It was too pervasive and simultaneous to be a simple coincidence.
hear hear, I agree
Chris Matthews seems to be quite aware of the desparation of his side in this election. Like any cornered animal he is dangerous. So far all that's happened is a bit of snarling and a stream of lies. Before being interviewed by this guy, Republican officeholders and party officials should demand the guy be patted down and checked for weapons or suicide belt bombs.
I was thinking along the same lines. She seems to know how to conserve her power for a cobra strike.
Long overdue - and not a moment to lose. This message also goes for the average conservative conversationalist at the watercooler. You will never get points for conceding anything you believe to a liberal. Liberals are intellectually dishonest - and have a brazenly overt attitude of "Whatever we do or say is justified - because our cause is just, and anything goes to get enough power to cram it down people's throats."
When you finally rise to their numerous glove slaps - and tell it like it is - you have the advantage. Because their positions are based on demonstrable lies and wilfull ignorance of truths unhelpful to their manifesto. It is cathartic to say to a liberal - "The fact that you and the MSM choose to ignore XYZ does not mean it didn't happen. And just because the MSM says something is true or false - does not mean it is. I do not accept your versions of events nor your spin - we stand or fall on the facts...and so will you, Kerry and the house of cheating cards your cause is based on."
Be prepared for a lot of screaming on their part, though. Because like spoiled brats - they seek to defeat all reason by going nuclear.
And here, I put in a good word
for Speaker Denny Hastert. People,
do not discount him. I watched a
few of his recent interviews. This
man doesn't let the Lefty Media
get away with their trash. Yet he
does not sink to their level. He
reminds me of a burly, tough-as-
nails, TEDDY BEAR!
Good morning! I didn't see the show you're talking about, but what I did see this morning on C-SPAN-book was a panel of lefty journalists and their fabricated books. This panel got together on Thursday at NYU and it was a Bush bashing tirade with a standing ovation (at the end). I could only take about 5 minutes. They plugged their website NewDemocracyProject.org. (a/k/a bring Bush down no matter what). Conservative journalists MUST be aggressive in uncovering the nuances and falsity in the libs statements. As you know, it isn't easy. The pundits are in overdrive, it's plain to see. I mean they're still talking about Bush's National Guard records. What are we to do? Keep working, working hard to get to the truth of the matter. In particular, why isn't the press demanding that John Kerry release ALL of his military records? As someone suggested yesterday, write letters to your local newspaper, and politicians demanding the release of Kerry's records. This is no time to enjoy the bounce, but to work even harder to keep W in the White House for the sake of our entire nation. John Kerry is a creep, we all know it. God Bless W and our Troops!
Denny Hastert reminds me of Mike Ditka.
It's funny, though: even now when people agree with my points, they usually preface their statements with "I don't usually agree with LS, but . . ." so as to insulate themselves from their colleagues' comments.
Not only that. The left believes that reality can be manufactured and jammed down peoples throats using money. This is what they believe happens with advertising. They believe that advertising tricks people into buying things they do not need or really even want by "slick marketing and packaging" (if you recall they used this phrase when describing Reagan's 1984 campaign).
They really believe this. They believe that advertising manufactures demand out of thin air. They never heard, or don't believe, the old saying "if your product is no good, all the advertising in the world won't get people to buy it."
That is one part of what we are witnessing now in this campaign. Persons of principle (conservatives) are not sitting still for liberal deceptions. They are shouting back, shoving facts up for scrutiny rather than politely trying to let them speak for themselves.
Part two is that the truth indeed does trump $60 million hate campaigns. But something else plays an important part in this, and that is New Media. Talk radio, cable news, and the blogospheric Internet are letting the truth shine as never before. The facts are more readily available to many more people. Many more people are offering support to those in the arena with ruthless libs who have spewed lies for so long they no longer know what the truth is (a particularly pathological example of this is John Kerry himself).
And then there is Karl Rove. If one took Evil Incarnate James Carville and stripped EIJC of evil, added scruples and consistency, one would approach the intelligent resolution of Karl Rove.
It is an exciting time.
It's time to do EVERYTHING humanly possible to break the back of the corrupt, socialist, "mainstream" media. These Marxist Socialist front groups have got to be stopped.
Here is what I propose:
1. Get lists of their advertisers and complain about the media Bush hate, manipulation, and deceit campaign.
2. Distribute the contact information for various advertiseers so that all FREEPERS can begin to complain.
3. Use the language of the lefty loonies against them. Note that the media is using hate, manipulation, and deceit against the president and their advertisements are supporting it.
4. Start sending complaints to the Boards of Directors at the parent holding companies. (you can find them here http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/srch-edgar )
5. Start finding other boards that many of the media directors sit on and beging a campaign to THOSE companies of that board member's support of the hate, manipulation, and deception against he president.
If we get on the stick with this, and are persistent, the "old media" can finally be crushed within the months leading up to the campaign. If anyone thinks for 2 seconds that this media is not going to pull out all the stops to ratchet up the anti-Bush hate and deception campaign coming up to this election, you've got another thing coming.
Hey, who the hell did Franken get into it with? Remember the picture of him standing, pointing his little finger at supposedly some radio producer? What show was the producer from? Any other details?
I believe the following quote will perfectly describes the left.
"At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosphy of sniveling brats." -- P.J. O'Rourke
Bump. Excellent post!
I missed Laura Ingraham, but I saw Zell go after Chrissy. If your hypothesis is true, all I can say is, it's about frickin' time!
The conservatives have always come across as a bit too timid to me. Always better to play offense, rather than defense.
When you read the transcript of the interview it's easy to see why Zell was mad. Matthews asked questions with implied answers and never gave Miller a chance at rebuttal.
Isn't that a breach of interview etiquette?
Why is Matthews/MSNBC proud of this?
"Maybe it's a shotgun tactic to improve ratings."
A shotgun tactic aimed at their own foot?
A perfect examle was Karl Rove's interview where he said he thought Kerry's anti-war activities were fair game in the campaign. MediaCrats had to reach for the smelling salts on that one. They thought their politically correct demands for demureness would preclude any such declarations from conservatives...especially a high level Bush official! Republicans are supposed to shy away from controversy!
Rove sliced and diced any confidence they still had in their ability to control the message. It was beautiful to see.
There will be no shortage of opportunities in the upcoming days.
The leftists in the MSM need to be put on notice.
Their time is over.
This election is their last battlefield.
I am so glad that I am not a liberal.
They had better get tough. Kerry is bringing in every dirt thrower he can to save his failing campaign.
Nice description. I've had some experience with faculty meetings myself. The assumption is always that we all agree so it is safe to make such remarks. Nice to know your are out there on the front lines.
The swipe GWB took at the New York Times was long overdue. Until the Republicans hit the media, full force, it will be the same old bias. I had great hopes for FOX. We need more anchors like Brit Hume. It's time we began making our voices heard. Continuous emails until Fox can NOT ignore us any longer. We must keep Zell's speech alive.
I was sicken to see JC Watts, and many Republicans tip toe over the media bias issue. I ask you, what do we have to lose? What are we afraid of?
They looked like whipped puppies... they certainly were not a happy bunch.
The media will be throwing all sorts of garbage on Bush in the next 2 months, and it will be interesting to see if the people see these media attacks as further reason to rally TO Bush. Bush and Rove could subtly ridicule the media as Kerry's running mate to drag them down with Kerry's reputation. The media will have some hard choices ahead if the numbers hold and this is really a Bush country. They, like the French will have a choice between ideological purity and public support ($$).
Somewhere on this forum, I read a comment that said the magic phrase is "What [name the candidate] needs to do to win." That phrase indicates that the candidate in question is in deep doo-doo. I heard Juan Williams say it over the weekend in reference to Kerry. He said, plain and day, "What Kerry needs to do to win..."
Whatever the message strategy is, it's working. I have noticed that the conservatives have been more pointed. They must have somebody really good providing the talking points or they're practicing mock debates. The message is finally getting out and there's blood in the water.
No, I haven't -- but I'd pay 50 cents to see Laura jump ugly on Gergen. He was such a go-along guy I scarcely counted him a Pubbie, which he once was.
They have to be careful about it, though. The LameStream Effluvia will retaliate with editing. They'll pretend to be interviewing live but go to tape before they put it out, and edit their subjects, and plead constraints of time afterward. You watch. They'll go to canned and snipped stuff.
"SEN. KERRY: I think, Tim, as people get to know me in the course of this, theyll know the things that I have fought for and the things I stand for. I was a prosecutor. Ive sent people to jail for the rest of their life. Im opposed to the death penalty in the criminal justice system because I think its applied unfairly, as even Republican governors have determined, and because Im for a worse punishment.
I think it is worse to take somebody and put them in a small cell for the rest of their life, deprived of their freedom, never to be paroled. Now, I think thats tougher. Let me just finish.
MR. RUSSERT: But, Senator, why shouldnt Timothy McVeigh, who blew up the Oklahoma building, or if John Muhammad is convicted of being a sniper here in Washingtonwhy shouldnt they receive the death penalty?
SEN. KERRY: Tim, I think that, as I said, you know, different people have different opinions about whats worse. Ive seen people die and I know what its like to almost die. I dont think thatyou know, dying is scary for a while, but in the end, the punishment is gone. When youre alive and youre deprived of your freedom each day and youre in tough circumstancesand Im talking about tough circumstances. Im not talking about some cushy situation where they live off the fat of the land in prison.. Im talking about tough. But if youre deprived of that freedom for the rest of your living days until God decides to take you, you know, that is tough, my friend, and I think that plenty of people think that.
This mental case had better hope they start giving tours of the White House again, because thats the closest to the Oval Office he is ever going to get.
When one woman read a poem on fear, and talked about how the Bush Administration was using it as a weapon against its people, I was through with this bunch of creeps.
They just don't have any recollection of 9/11.

In September 2001, Kerry Said We Should Not Raise Taxes In An Economic Downturn."The first priority is the economy of our nation. And when you have a downturn in the economy, the last thing you do is raise taxes or cut spending. We shouldn't do either. We need to maintain a course that hopefully will stimulate the economy. . . . No, we should not raise taxes, but we have to put everything on the table to take a look at why we have this structural problem today. . . . you don't want to raise taxes." (NBC's "Meet The Press," September 2, 2001)
In April 2002, Kerry Said He Wanted A Larger Tax Cut And Was "Not In Favor Of" A Repeal. CNN's Tucker Carlson: "Senator Kerry, . . . [many Democrats] [g]et a lot of political mileage out of criticizing [President Bush's tax cut], but nobody has the courage to say repeal it. Are you for repealing it?" Kerry: "It's not a question of courage. . . . And it's not an issue right now. We passed appropriately a tax cut as a stimulus, some $40 billion. Many of us thought it should have even maybe been a little bit larger this last year . . . . [T]he next tax cut doesn't take effect until 2004. If we can grow the economy enough between now and then, if we have sensible policies in place and make good choices, who knows what our choices will be. So it's simply not a ripe issue right now. And I'm not in favor of turning around today and repealing it." (CNN
In December 2002, Kerry Flip-Flopped. NBC's Tim Russert: "Senator . . . should we freeze or roll back the Bush tax cut?" Kerry: "Well, I wouldn't take away from people who've already been given their tax cut . . . . What I would not do is give any new Bush tax cuts. . . ." Russert: "So the tax cut that's scheduled to be implemented in the coming years . . . ." Kerry: "No new tax cut under the Bush plan. . . . It doesn't make economic sense." Russert: "Now, this is a change, because let me show you what you said in September of 2001 when I asked you the very same question." (NBC

Again... welcome!
Spiraling down the ol' drain.
That's what I meant in my original post where I said the media was wounded by its refusal to cover the Swifty story. The blogosphere beat their butts on that one...and got their first big taste of what it feels like to WIN. Since then we've seen example after example of blogs forcing Old Media to retract false stories.
And the Old Media still doesn't get it. They don't understand that it was absolute fury over media bias that drove the blog coverage of the Swify charges. The allegations had been around for a long time. But when the Swiftys' ads began---and Old media ignored the story---it ratcheted hatred for the media to such a degree that it exploded in the blogosphere. Old media doesn't still doesn't understand that.
That is the liberal solution to fixing the schools. We all know how great that works.
