One example:  The NYTimes had the goods on Bush's illegal spying operation before the 2004 election.  Coming out with it would have thrown the election to Kerry.  They sat on it instead. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/editorials/30720/#c_280354  wasn't merle a coke-head,Alcoholic, womanizer? yeah real good dude! What made him good, the fact that he could sing? Or that he made lots of money. Maybe it's not fair, but, to a degree, making timeless music, and writing and recording real country songs that come from the heart, has a redeeming even the most slimiest of characters among us.    http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/politicsanyone/30702/#c_280353 Interesting page. If you read it to the end, you'll discover his conclusion is that the media isn't liberal, but lazy. I can't say I disagree with that. I did find this funny: So who is the liberal media? Traditionally, the liberal media is held to one publication, the New York Times. It is one of the oldest and most established papers in the country, and makes no apologies for his political... http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/politicsanyone/30669/#c_280352 Apparently the State Controller is also concerned about the lawsuits.

I find a lot of the above comments humorous in their partisanship and take on the supposesd affair. Time will tell the story. My own view of why the major news and media outlets have not fully reported this story is that the facts are pretty sparse to this point. Also, I think out of deference to Elizabeth Edwards and her situation the press is being very... http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/hotandfoggy/30708/#c_280348 As I've been saying all along, many things contribute.  allRED, it's fine to show a child who is boss, as long as the child knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that, along with all of the rules, is a relationship that is filled with love and affection.  If you get too heavy-handed, you get lots of respect, but there's no bond, apart from one based on fear.  http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/hotandfoggy/30708/#c_280347 I've watched several TV specials on autism and anyone who saw these kids would not think they were spoiled or crying out for attention.  There was this one baby (about a year old) who kept banging his head against the wall.  His parents were obviously at their wits end.  They had a room full of these kids and they were all doing the same thig--ignoring each other and doing... http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/editorials/30720/#c_280346   Oildale gave us meth??

His covers of Beatles songs are almost better than the originals, and, with the Beatles, that's a pretty difficult task to pull off.  The Steve Miller Band gave us some of the most memorable melodic rock hits of the 70s.  That band also rocks.  It should be a great show.    http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/hotandfoggy/30708/#c_280339 I agree with blognroll.  I'm sure genetics plays a role. I also wouldn't be surprised if the increase is due to environmental damage. There are so many toxins around us, such as pesticides, genetically altered food, and pollution.

He lives in SF, which is very diverse, but he is always ragging on gays,minorities, and women.

And 'favor' is too kind a word.

It's not just one side, they all do it.  All I've... http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/jasonsperber/30678/#c_280207  Well, all the respect for HM just went out the door, same as all the other peas in the pot. Not the well dressed Gentleman everyone thought.  It's nice of you to show your TRUE COLORS, at long last. I wasn't addressing you, it was this other degenerate. Just made up my mind not to post on a Gay blog.  There will, be a picture from time to time. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/drilnliftcrude/30683/#c_280206 Democrats are practically the same as Republicans. They are both ruled by corporate interests. All the corporate lobbyists who heavily funded Republicans since 2000 basically started targetting Democrats when they became the majority in Congress in 2006. Third party candidates are the way to go. Vote Nader or another third party candidate for president. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/politicsanyone/30702/#c_280203 TSM..how typical of you to change the subject.  Are you trying to divert attention from Edwards? http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/politicsanyone/30702/#c_280202 The L.A. Times did an opinion pice on the situation here.   http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/politicsanyone/30702/#c_280201 Okay, you got me. The left pushes ridiculous rumors too. I guess that means that the press isn't left after all, or the press would be pushing it. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/sincalryder/30675/#c_280200 On the forum the we as local riders are usually posting on, we monitor IP's when new members to the forum look suspicious, such as new member created that instantly post some stuff that cause some ruffled feathers. I don't know how easily it would be accomplished on a site with such a broad base, but that's the the easy answer. But then you gotta remember that sometimes you may have more... http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/politicsanyone/30702/#c_280199 Rosemary.  Pleeeeze stop.  You're splitting my sides.  Do you read what you type or does it just roll out uncontrolled? "The left has a conscience. Right media would keep pushing a rumor no matter how ridiculous or false it is."   What do you think the Condi rumor is?  And who is pushing it??????  Certainly not the right. You're not doing your side... http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/talkofthetown/30709/#c_280197 The researchers got it all wrong. 99.9% of cancer patients have tv sets in their homes. The statistical evidence cannot be disputed. TVs cause cancer. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/drilnliftcrude/30683/#c_280195 One million Germans are expected to turn out for Obama's speech today. Apparently that's not newsworthy to the rightwingers.   http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/sincalryder/30675/#c_280194 And....I am Sin Cal's mom.   And pretty proud of it.  We are all one big family in many ways.
