She’s got serious self-esteem issues and tries to sound like she’s better than everyone else, but comes across as incoherent most of the time. Oh, and she hates all women, which is why she attacks me so frequently.

I’M SURE SOMEONE ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE IS SPINNING THE CORPORATE MEDIA TO START GOING AFTER LIBERAL BLOGGERS. (I MEAN, THEY NEVER GO AFTER CONSERVATIVE BLOGS, DO THEY?)

You really need a good therapist to work on that hatred and animosity for others.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
(If you expected The Note to report on the meaning of the flap, the delay, the brouhaha, the whole thing — you expected wrong. Wake us when it’s over.)

Though you did mention what Gov. Schwarzenegger had to say and had a few, sparse, rehashed quotes, you had absolutely nothing to report on the issue. The same day you reported the “Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” story, Think Progress reported on your self-professed lack of interest and then some of the readers of that blog commented on the post, which was factual. Today, you came out with a response that it was all an experiment.
Now this begs the question; did you not report on a story that Joseph King, who headed the customs agency’s anti-terrorism efforts under the Treasury Department and the new Department of Homeland Security, said was a real national security threat in order to see how upset you could make liberal bloggers? If so, did you have a control group for this experiment? How many blogs were in the experimental and the control groups? How were they selected and by whom? Was it a double blind study? How was the experiment conducted? When did it start and when did it end? Was it well documented so that it could be replicated?
You see, I doubt that you did any of these things, which leaves me with the uncomfortable feeling that either Think Progress caught you with you pants down and you’re now just covering you posteriors with this preposterous story about an experiment (you see, they did some actual reporting), or you are really just a group of egocentric, elitist, insiders who seem to have lost your way and are not real journalists anymore — if you ever were, and are now reduced to playing adolescent pranks on those who are doing some real reporting of the facts.
You know, the great thing about blogging is that anyone can express their opinion, and based on what current reading of The Note I have done, I’d have to say that I fully, and whole-heartedly agree with post #26. BTW, the portion of the Washington Post story about the Dubai Port story with Joseph King is below for you to peruse at you leisure. The link to the entire story is directly above that, and directly below this post.
Goodnight and good luck,

Republicans Split With Bush on Ports

Joseph King, who headed the customs agency’s anti-terrorism efforts under the Treasury Department and the new Department of Homeland Security, said national security fears are well grounded.
He said a company the size of Dubai Ports World would be able to get hundreds of visas to relocate managers and other employees to the United States. Using appeals to Muslim solidarity or threats of violence, al-Qaeda operatives could force low-level managers to provide some of those visas to al-Qaeda sympathizers, said King, who for years tracked similar efforts by organized crime to infiltrate ports in New York and New Jersey. Those sympathizers could obtain legitimate driver’s licenses, work permits and mortgages that could then be used by terrorist operatives.
Dubai Ports World could also offer a simple conduit for wire transfers to terrorist operatives in the Middle East. Large wire transfers from individuals would quickly attract federal scrutiny, but such transfers, buried in the dozens of wire transfers a day from Dubai Ports World’s operations in the United States to the Middle East would go undetected, King said.

Pathetic…..at least we the lefties pay attention to the world around us and care about important issues. The wrongies(righties)…always have time to fabricate. Who’s laughing now….that just made them look even more dumb…

…besides, anyone who isn’t FIGHTING mad at the damage the criminal Bushite junta has done…
…is a traitor…

Only a right wing rag would think its funny to make themselves look really REALLY stupid to massive amounts of people.

Let’s all sit down and watch that old Afterschool Special called “The Wave” instead of paying any attention to this “The Note” thing.

Blogger; “Liars”

ABC; Silence

REALLY?? WoW and here I am under the impression its a Barrel Of Monkies!!

ABCNEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR MEMO SPARKS CONTROVERSY: BOTH SIDES NOT ‘EQUALLY ACCOUNTABLE’

**Exclusive**

An internal memo written by ABCNEWS Political Director Mark Halperin admonishes ABC staff: During coverage of Democrat Kerry and Republican Bush not to “reflexively and artificially hold both sides ‘equally’ accountable.”

The controversial internal memo obtained by DRUDGE, captures Halperin stating how “Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win.”

But Halperin claims that Bush is hoping to “win the election by destroying Senator Kerry at least partly through distortions.”

NO SHEEET? -mr ho?

“The current Bush attacks on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way that goes beyond what Kerry has done,” Halperin writes.

Halperin’s claim that ABCNEWS will not “reflexively and artificially hold both sides ‘equally’ accountable” set off sparks in St. Louis where media players gathered to cover the second presidential debate.

Can anyone say Hypocrite?
Halperin states the responsibilities of the ABCNEWS staff have “become quite grave.”
