About that litany...
Gary Larson nails the Star Tribune once again and also tackles the Pioneer Press in this piece at CNS News:
Near the Twin Cities, where I live, a rabid left-wing newspaper editorially assaults Bush daily, and never mind the truth. The other daily in this rare two-paper market, not taking sides at first, now edges closer to the partisan savagery of its larger, more leftist counterpart.
Alas, both Twin Cities' dailies now reveal a myopic bias found usually in only wild-eyed party organs. How do you spell A-G-E-N-D-A?
McClatchy's left-wing Star Tribune of Minneapolis reflexively calls Bush, and all in his administration, liars. Editorial cartoons depict him as a Dr. Frankenstein, a Dr. Jekell, always the Ultimate Jerk. Bush is 'cowboy' (snotty for reckless), 'gunslinger' (ditto), 'Lone Ranger ('unilateral,' and from Texas). On its front page, Bush is called 'fund-raiser-in-chief.' Can you imagine Clinton being called prevaricator-in-chief, or uncharged suspected rapist?
In Knight-Ridder's once moderate St. Paul Pioneer Press , a contemptuous editorial (9/9) insists the Iraq war is a 'cowboy war,' a Bush 'adventure,' marked by 'unsustainable unilateralism.' Yeah, like the Brits suffered no casualties? Note how 'cowboy' is chic in snippy, juvenile put-downs. Have these people no creativity?
'Bush never told us,' insisted the Star Tribune ( 8/20), that the war was, in part, to 'free the Iraqi people.' Oh, really? Then why in hell did he call it Operation Iraqi Freedom?
