4/25 Dayton Daily Democrattm
From the pen of Jeff Bruce, editor of the Dayton Daily News:[Bush] also called for the end to the "death tax," which drew a rousing round of applause, a departure from the rules of decorum journalists routinely obey. This should tell you something about the nature of the audience, hardly the "liberal media" you hear so much about on talk radio. (Footnote: During the last presidential election, Bush got twice as many endorsements as Al Gore.)

Jeff would like for us to believe that the Partisan Mediatm is actually conservative, but aside from FoxNews and a couple of newspapers and magazines; it looks pretty liberal to me.Everybody ought to be behind eliminating the death tax. Cheering for that doesn't mean you're a rabid member of the Republican Attack Squadtm. It means you don't like that tax. And as evidence for "proving" that there is no liberal bias in the media, that is pretty weak, Jeff, even for the editor of the Dayton Daily Democrattm.
In regards to Jeff's footnote, that can't be right... Has anyone out there got some actual evidence that indicates that the President actually got more endorsements. Of course I'm assuming Jeff means endorsements from the Partisan Mediatm and not talk show hosts like Rush and Hannity. Because as we all know, talk shows aren't "real" media. Uh-huh...
15:45 UPDATE:
On the other hand, this is a particularly well received message from the editorial board. Householder appears to not be a good guy and certainly is a RINO. Then again, Mark and I both are supporters of Ken Blackwell for Ohio's next governor.Mark's Remarks
Jeff, no wonder the Daily News has become a sad parody, and the only awards you all win anymore are for Hal McCoy's writings on the Reds. Your paper has become nothing more than a liberal rag....Come on Jeff, at least other papers will hide the sarcasm and liberal bias.
Hey Jeff, are you for the Death tax? No? Then you must be a conservative, right? Come on, Jeff, anyone who is for the death tax either is a hardcore lefty (see John Kerry, Maxine Waters, Ted "Chappaquitick" Kennedy) or is plain stupid. For once, Jeff, if you are against the death tax, you probably made your first decision that made sense.
Also, Jeff, as an editor, you really should be a little more objective and less of an a$$ in your writing. If this is the editor standards at DDD, then anyone could get on there, even an illiterate 10 year old dog blind in one eye.
If your little bit of bile was to make us believe the Press isn't bias toward the left, sorry, Jeff, it was a miserable failure.
AS TO HOUSEHOLDER, even before this whole flap, even before the governor candidates were announced, I didn't like this guy. He has a record as a RINO and in conversations with my state reps' offices, they don't like him either. He is just like Hillary, working in dirty tricks and subversion, instead of doing the people's business for Ohio. And yes, I support Blackwell, because unlike the job Householder has done in leadership, Blackwell as SecState has actually gotten things done in Ohio.
