Proof of liberalism
The Washington Times "Inside Politics" reports that when Fox’s Roger Ailes
spoke in Pasadena to the Television Critics Association approximately 100 of
the 150 in attendance walked out in protest of their indictment of Fox’s
conservative spin. The
Washington Times reports:
Said the Media Research Center (www.mrc.org): "Can you imagine 100 TV
critics, upset by CBS's liberal bias, walking out on CBS chief Les Moonves
or CBS News President Sean McManus? Or even a dozen critics turning their
backs on the scandal-scarred Dan Rather? Such open disdain for Fox News
Channel's uniquely non-liberal approach speaks volumes about the media
elite's arrogant belief that it's journalistic malpractice to give a fair
shake to conservatives."
Frist on stem cells
Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) is quoted in the
Des Moines Register on how his support of killing embryos for stem cell
research doesn’t disqualify him from pro-life Republicans:
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Thursday that Republicans who oppose
abortion rights could still support him, despite his backing of legislation
this month that would have relaxed restrictions on embryonic stem-cell
research.
"The Republican Party has both the diversity of views - still, a pro-life
position - and the support of science," the Tennessee Republican, who is
weighing a 2008 presidential bid, said in an interview before his scheduled
weekend trip to Iowa. "There's not inconsistency there."
Frist was referring to a bill that passed the Senate two weeks ago, with his
support, that would have overturned restrictions President Bush placed in
2001 on federally funded stem-cell research.
