New York: Washington Post

Well, this is disturbing. I started reading this story where it appears clear to me that the press is trying to 'humanize' the mass murdering muslim, Nidal Hasan. As my incredulity grew, I started thinking back...is this what the press usually does with headline murderers? Hmmm...how about Scott Roeder, the nut that murdered George Tiller the notorious later-term abortionist? Here's what I found - note that this is just a SHORT sample, of course there is a lot of info out there, but I tried to find similar stories. Here's what the AP has to say about Hasan (yes, I AM editing out information, my analysis here is NOT whether the story is balanced, but how they are portraying the murderer):
As if going off to war, Maj.

MRC:
At the top of the 4:00PM ET hour of MSNBC Live, co-anchor David Shuster claimed the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll “numbers appear to back up the concerns of mainstream Republicans worried about the impact of birthers, tenthers, and town hall screamers....moderates have been frightened away and party identification has dropped to the lowest level in nearly three decades, since Nixon and Watergate.”

Shuster later introduced a debate segment on the issue, declaring: “if a new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News is any indication, the GOP is in the worst shape it’s been in nearly three decades. Asked which party they identified themselves with, 33% said Democratic while just 20% said Republican.

I slack off for a week, you pay the price with a long Random Saturday :)

Michelle Malkin explains to the liberals in and our of the press about the speech that was and the speech that wasn't:
This same "Do Something" ethos infected the U.S. Department of Education teachers guides accompanying the announcement of Obama's speech -- until late Wednesday, that is, when the White House removed some of the activist language exhorting students to come up with ways to "help the president." Education Secretary Arne Duncan had disseminated the material directly to principals across the country -- circumventing elected school board members and superintendents now facing neighborhood revolts.

Ann Coulter with more lies about socializing health care:
(9) If you like Medicare, you'll love national health care, which will just extend Medicare's benefits to everyone.

...Not only is Medicare bankrupt, but it is extremely limited in whom and what it covers. If Medicare were a private insurer, it would be illegal in many states for failing to cover hearing aids, podiatry, acupuncture, chiropractic care, marriage counseling, aromatherapy and gender reassignment surgery.

Moreover, Medicare payments aren't enough to pay the true cost of those medical services it does cover. With Medicare undercutting payments to hospitals and doctors for patients 65 and older, what keeps the American medical system afloat are private individuals who are not covered by Medicare paying full freight (and then some).
