Well, no, and how you could get that from what I wrote, I can't imagine. No, I don't > think the media is far left wing but does have a general slant to the left that > they try to keep subtle so as to not openly appear biased thus ruining their > credablility. Translation: if the media leans to the left, it's because it's left-wing. But if it leans to the right...it's because it's left-wing. As for ABC's decisions about who got previews of the mini series > and who didn't, I can't say, but one example of showing a little favoritism > to one side, if in fact it happened,( some how the Clinton administration got > previews or they wouldn't be complaining) No, the Clinton folks didn't get copies, lefty bloggers didn't get copies, Democrats didn't get copies. It's not impossible somebody sent Clinton's people one under the table, but there's been enough reported--including verbatim dialogue-- about what goes on in the film that they didn't have to see it to know there was plenty to complain about. ,doesn't correct decades of > showing favoritism to the other. That's a right-wing myth. It was started deliberately. There was never any truth to it. CBS I'm sure, made a business decision.

Eighteen percent of those polled said he was most popular in 2001, behind Lincoln and JFK. In 2003, Reagan was fourth most popular, named by 10 percent, behind Lincoln, JFK, and Clinton. Clinton's highest approval rating was 71. Reagan's was 68. When he left office, Reagan's approval ratings were between 63 and 51. Clinton's were between 65 and 66. Reagan's average approval rating while in office was 52 percent. Clinton's was 55 percent. by having No one other than Barbara Streisand's hubby > play the main role among other conflicts of interest. CBS didn't want to > risk it.

You should have resisted the temptation to rise to the bait. Mind-boggling. This is what a *real* True Believer looks like.
