The national media watch group
I read this in the New York Times a few days ago (2/19/11):
The images from Wisconsin–with its protests, shutdown of some public services and missing Democratic senators, who fled the state to block a vote–evoked the Middle East more than the Midwest.
There's a labor movement in this country? And in theMidwest, even!?

I really don't care what Fox News watchdog or Topsy.com has to say about anything. Why can't this site simply post comments from human beings who are interested in what FAIR has to say? There is very little here from people who care what's going on, and there might be more if FAIR had a clue as to how to manage a website.
Yeah, I agree with Mr Bloyce. Time to do something about these annoying non people who don't comment but just link to FAIR (all well and good – I even do it – but I want to see a real discussion. There's gotta be more comments than Mr Latimer's regular opinions.
