The issue, for those of you just joining us, is that even though what was presented was factual, it was condemned by certain members of this august body because it was skewed in a way so as to shine a more positive light on members of one party at the expense of the other party more near and dear to said members of said august body. In the mean time, similar, and indeed more sinister distortions, that crossed the line from "skewed" into "damnable lies" were not so condemned by the same members, simply because said lies were promulgated by the more favored party of said members.

Bill is often seen taking the "side" of the Republicans because no one else does. There's no need for him to jump in the direction because you're all so busy doing it yourselves. Unlike you, Bill represents balance, not a single side. Got it? Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

A state of equilibrium or parity characterized by cancellation of all forces by equal opposing forces. [...] I suppose what Bill is doing may be to balance the otherwise leftist leaning debate among the members of this august group, but by no means does what he presents represent a balanced presentation. The fact that he presents a balancing perspective does not make his presentation itself balanced, by any stretch. If by simply engaging in the rhetorical exercise of arguing the "devil's advocate" side is all that it takes to be branded balanced around here, then it may prove to be a worthy exercise. Wasn't that what Steve O'Connor's bot, Jerry Lee Cooper, was all about not too long ago? However, I now understand what Faux News means when they claim to be "fair and balanced". I had always wondered how they could say that with a straight face.... jb4 "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing.
