I think the NY Times set a record today for the most amount of reader letters published for the sole purpose of confirming their view of the world. 18 letters on 2 topics.
The Abuse Debacle: A Storm in Washington (14 Letters)
So Who's Afraid of Michael Moore? (4 Letters)
Could they not find ONE literate submission on either topic that doesn't espouse the party line? I spent all day listening to conservative talk radio with millions of listeners and dozens of callers who had different viewpoints on these issues. I guess they've all just given up as far as the print media goes.
What makes it even funnier is that just above this torrent of liberal smugness is a teeny tiny correction about the number of children of congresspersons who are in the military.
An Op-Ed article on Tuesday referred incorrectly to the number of members of Congress with children serving in the military in Iraq or Afghanistan. There are at least three members, not one.
At least three? Do they not want to take the time to find the right number? And besides that whole screed was trying to say we should have the draft again so that children of congressmen go to war in the appropriate numbers. Since the average age of representatives is 54 and senators 59, most would not have eligible children in the war zone anyway.
