CNBC: “On Many Issues” Dean “Centrist,” But Lauer: Too Liberal? Monday night on CNBC, David Shuster delivered another effort to portray Howard Dean as less than liberal. On the News with Brian Williams, Shuster contended: “On many issues, Dean is a centrist. He supports the death penalty, gun ownership and balanced budgets." But Shuster’s story did go on to recount how competitors Joe Lieberman and John Kerry are calling Dean too liberal to win a general election. And on Tuesday’s Today, during an interview with Dean, Matt Lauer actually took him on from the right: “Are you too liberal to win the general election?" 2. Hollings Stories Laud Racial Record, Skip Segregationist Work Washington Post and New York Times stories Tuesday, on the decision of South Carolina Senator Ernest Hollings to not seek re-election, lauded the Democrat for how, in contrast to what occurred in other Southern states, as Governor he had presided over “the peaceful” and “orderly desegregation” of South Carolina’s public schools. But in offering such a positive review of Hollings’ record on race, the newspapers skated over his role as a dogged defender of segregation who only gave in when he realized the fight was hopeless, a favor not afforded to Southern Republicans with an unpleasant history on race. 3. Conservatives Follow “Like the Members of a Moose Lodge” Reminiscent of how a Washington Post reporter claimed in a news story that Christian Right leaders can easily generate support because “their followers are largely poor, uneducated, and easy to command,” Boston Globe Washington Bureau Chief Peter Canellos on Tuesday passed along a similar stereotype in a story about a new liberal legal group. Canellos opined: “While conservatives answer a call to order like the members of a Moose Lodge, liberals fall to cat-fighting like contestants on a reality-TV dating show.” He did at least add, “or so the thinking goes.” Plus, Antonin “Scalia was the driving force behind the Supreme Court's decision granting George W. Bush the presidency over Al Gore.” See today’s entire CyberAlert at: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2003/cyb20030806.asp ________________________________________________________________________________ Advertisement www.TimesWatch.org TimesWatch.org Frank Rich’s Persecution Complex Times editor Frank Rich attacks as anti-Semitic Mel Gibson’s upcoming movie on the last hours of the life of Christ, claiming its “real tinder-box effect could be abroad, where anti-Semitism has metastasized since 9/11.” But in the past liberal Rich has ridiculed the idea that movies cause violence. And his criticism is particularly hypocritical considering his discussion of 1995’s pro-gay, anti-Catholic Church movie “Priest.” Read the entire article as posted on TimesWatch.org: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2003/0806.asp ________________________________________________________________________________ Advertisement JOIN THE MRC TODAY The MRC has a unique opportunity that would greatly benefit our work to expose the left-wing agenda of the national media.

This is a really tough job. The entire political spectrum is going to have to be dragged off to the left of Massachusetts. It’s hard not to snicker at the thought of newspapers like The Washington Post declaring in a Sunday front-page headline: "As Governor, Dean Was Fiscal Conservative." Liberal reporter Michael Powell (last noticed in a furious fit of powder-puffing Senator Hillary Clinton) trotted out an... Read the latest column written by L.
