I recently read the book, "Bias: a CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News" by Bernard Goldberg. I was having mixed feelings about it because I believed that it could not still be true, being that the book was published in 2003. I believed that the news had "changed". That it really never happened anyore. <br /><br />I happened to be watching the news this morning and caught this clip on CNN. Later on that night I saw this posting on my Facebook page. I decided to Google "patriots or extremists". About the 5th link down was your blog posting. Thanks.jennystar478https://www.blogger.com/profile/06922249430109002890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388559448711486521.post-57746838975298286982009-10-21T23:06:33.795-04:002009-10-21T23:06:33.795-04:00I almost hesitate to say this Debbie, but the Amer...I almost hesitate to say this Debbie, but the American middle are like sheep in a herd with the wolves on the left and on the right circling for the kill.

And TRL, I love that termite phrase. Many voted for Obama just because they thought he was a black man, they are now waking to the reality that he is not a black man, but that other kind of black that is often described in a somewhat more colorful way.Ron Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220328678840317631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388559448711486521.post-38263151631630381632009-10-21T21:55:33.091-04:002009-10-21T21:55:33.091-04:00I'll tell you what.

I think over the course of years the middle sways back and forth between the two sides, I do think however that if one side appears too extreme that the middle will move toward the other side. I am hoping that is what happens in 2010.<br /> Just for the record, I have a bumper sticker on my truck that says "right wing extremists," above the text is three of the founders.Mr Pink Eyeshttp://americaswatchtower.comnoreply@blogger.com
