The Established Media In Action

How to present a biased view as though it were a fact.

The persistence of the Left in believing, or attempting to get us to believe, that a certain fighter pilot with a Masters degree in Businesss Administration from Harvard is an idiot, continues to both disgust and astound me.

Seriously, if you haven't already, take a demonstration flight from any local flight school, and then imaging trying to control a much larger aircraft that flies TEN TIMES FASTER than a Cessna or Piper trainer and is armed with automatic cannons and guided missiles.

And then try to call a man who clearly demonstrated that he could do that an idiot.

Another complaint that is often voiced by the Established Media and various other self-styled intellectuals is that President Bush sees things in "black and white", in other words, he has a moral standard.

Here's an Objectivist Joke. What do you call a totally amoral man? A totally dead man.

In moral issues, and by extension political issues, the difference between right and wrong is the difference between joy and suffering, and the difference between life and death. There is simply no way to compromise between the two.

As Ayn Rand once pointed out, any attempt to compromise food with poison will only result in a poisoning.

Anyone who demands that we do is trying to con us into killing ourselves.
