…but I just have to say that I was astonished by the bias I heard in two different stories from Milwaukee NPR station WUWM in the last two days.
The first was about how John McCain commanded a training squadron after his time as a prisoner of war.
All the interviewees in the story said glowing things about John McCain’s leadership, cialis generic sales but somehow the tone of the story implied that John McCain was not a good leader. For example, viagra ampoule the story ended talking about how the squadron fell apart after McCain left. (And the point wasn’t that he was such a great leader that his absence was felt, here it was more that he failed to prepare the squadron to go on without him.)
Then, today, I heard the end of a story about how Barack Obama worked briefly in the financial world. My sense from that story was that Obama was prepared to fix the economy because he was passingly familiar with financial markets almost twenty years ago.
Again, I can’t link to the stories and I understand that my own biases may be affecting the way I heard the framing, but my honest response after both stories was, “holy crap, that was propaganda” – a response I very, very rarely have listening to pure news on NPR.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane is proud to be called an African-American:
“To be an African-American is to express pride in having roots in an ancestral homeland…”
So, viagra sale site in that same spirit, pilule I’d like you to call me a German-Irish-Italian-French Canadian-American.
On second thought, the only part I’m really proud of is the last one.
So just call me an American.
(And damned lucky to be one.)

…are inconveniencing U.S. citizens and causing them to sue, viagra ambulance you read this blurb about a poor trapped pregnant woman:
When armed immigration agents stormed Denise Shippy’s company in February, physician they blocked all the exits and prevented anyone from leaving or using the bathroom without a guard nearby. At the time of the raid, click she was 9 months pregnant with Aiden, now 3 1/2 months. Cassidy, 7, and Richard, 9, were at work with her.
It’s not until NINE paragraphs later that you find out the law suits are a strategy cooked up by pro-illegal immigration lawyers:
The lawsuits and claims against the government are part of a strategy by immigration lawyers to halt or change workplace raids. Peter Schey, president and executive director of the center, acknowledges that “we’re hoping the prospect of thousands of U.S. citizens over time filing claims for damages against the United States government might cause (ICE) to reconsider how these raids are conducted.”
Now that’s what I call unbiased journalism.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial board titled their latest pro-illegal immigrant editorial “Abhorring a Vacuum”, viagra canada ampoule but the real vacuum is their absolute lack of suggestions for what to do about illegal immigration.
They’re content to complain about enforcement.
They’re willing to wail about the wall between the States and Mexico.
They love to deplore deportation.
But I have yet to see them have the balls to actually say what the do want.
Open borders? No rules? Free Social Security numbers for everyone who crosses the border illegally?
“Comprehensive Immigration Reform” is a meaningless phrase.
Some people who use it mean they want to close the border and kick the illegals out.
I suspect when the Journal Sentinel uses it, they mean open borders and amnesty.
But since they don’t have the courage to spell out what they want, I guess I’ll have to remind them that a vacuum isn’t only an absence of ideas…it also really sucks.

In case you missed it, cialis purchase two Wisconsin bloggers had articles in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
James T. Harris had an article about being a dad reprinted from his blog.
And Rick Esenberg wrote an editorial about Barack Obama.
I’d just like to ask the Main Stream Media to keep their grubby paws off our best and brightest. Soon, stuff the only bloggers still “just” blogging will be those that are anonymous or use fictional pseudonyms!

…I feel like Homer Simpson when Bart and Lisa wouldn’t stop asking him if they could go to Itchy & Scratchy Land.
Eventually, cialis buy illness he just gives in before he goes completely insane at their repetitive pleading.
I’m thinking the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is working on the same principle.
