http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122567701660492149.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
-- FROM THE FED BARNES COMMENTARY: "There's still another change in Washington that shouldn't be overlooked: a mainstream media that's become reflexively liberal. It's true the national press corps has been monopolized by liberals for years. The difference now is that the media's liberal tendencies are unleashed and permeate reporting on national affairs. Of course journalists point to the many times they've taken on liberal politicians, especially Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and, at times, Sen. Obama. But their criticism is of a special type. They point out political mistakes, clumsy tactics, bad decisions on timing and process failures. They don't raise doubts about liberalism itself or the liberal agenda. Conservatives aren't so fortunate. The media challenges their basic principles. When Republicans hold power, the media routinely becomes part of the political opposition. When Democrats ruled in the past, the press was more evenhanded but rarely hostile. In the new Washington run by liberal Democrats, much of the media is likely to become a liberal claque -- or already has."

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
-- What will the Combine blame Republican election losses on? - Dave Diersen
www.gopillinois.com
Beginning this evening, the Combine dominated Illinois news media will ask Combine members, spokespersons for Combine members, people who want to be Combine members, and people who lack what it takes to oppose the Combine to give their opinion on why Illinois Republican candidates suffered losses in the 2008 general election. Of course, you can identify these Combine types if they blame people and/or blame organizations that are conservative, claim to be conservative, or are pegged by anti-conservatives to be conservative. Combine types will blame the Republican Party platform and the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform as being too conservative. They will blame anyone and any organization that ever challenged a Combine type in a primary election or supported anyone who challenged a Combine type in a primary. They will speak very highly of Jim Thompson, Jim Edgar, George Ryan, Jim Ryan, Andy McKenna, Judy Baar Topinka, and Obama. They will attribute bad judgment, evil motive, and lack of ability to anyone who supports the Republican Party platform or the IRP platform. They will make it clear that they want the IRP to continue as it is, except that it should boot those who support Republican Party platform or the IRP platform.
