Are you claiming the New York Times is not biased? [/quote] Obviously, you think it is. That's why I posted the relevant part of the Congressional Record which states the same thing as reported in the Times. But what does bias have to do with whether or not the Senator's Chief of Staff made a certain statement? He did or he didn't. According the to Congressional Record, he did. But keep trying to deflect the question or distract from it. [/quote] Bob I agreed it was an extreme position. How is that distracting or deflecting? YOU are CONSTANTLY questioning sources, saying they are right wing or what not. Now when I simply mention that I didn't do all the research, but IF THAT WAS THE ACTUAL QUOTE and it is the actual position, then it is indeed extreme. I mean it is not as if someone like left wing zealots like Dan Rather would use something made up out of whole cloth would they? Come on. Yes I believe the NYT would indeed make up something to push an agenda. I am not saying they have, I am saying I believe they would. So I am not deflecting or distracting I agreed, with the provision that it is an accurate quote.

I agree with you about Dan Rather. Never did like him anyway. And, no, extremism is not limited to the right, it's on the left as well.
Anyway, it's my birthday and I have to fly to Baltimore tonight for a lecture tomorrow and then the PEA's Meeting of the Minds, so I've got to get my mind back on mentalism now and off of politics for a while. Will try to check in during the week, unless the hotel charges an arm and a leg for Internet. Good thoughts, Bob |

But, before I go, I'd point out that the last reporter that the Times let go for reporting inaccuracies was Judith Miller, who was falsely supporting the Bush administrations agenda about Saddam Hussein possessing WMDs.
Quote:
Public editor Byron Calame, wrote: "Ms. Miller may still be best known for her role in a series of Times articles in 2002 and 2003 that strongly suggested Saddam Hussein already had or was acquiring an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction… Many of those articles turned out to be inaccurate ... [T]he problems facing her inside and outside the newsroom will make it difficult for her to return to the paper as a reporter." The Times does value accuracy and factual reporting. It always has. Those reporters who have violate that standards don't keep their jobs very long. Postcript- Miller was also involved in the "outing" of CIA agent Valerie Plame. After being release by the Times, however, she quick found a new home at FOX news and in 2010 signed on with the right-wing NewsMax. Apparently neither of those organizations has the same journalistic standards as the Times. |

Really?
So they fire someone who disagrees with their agenda and you see this as some sort of proof? How about who they fired for being inaccurate when they agree with the agenda.

Are there a total 3,300 felons and people convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors. In other words does the 3,300 include allof the above? Which could but I am sure does not mean that one convicted felon and 3,299 domestic violence misdemenanors are included in this number. That is what I mean by vague. Maybe it is 2 felony convictions or maybe even 3. But we really don't know bythe way it is worded. I iwonder if a lawyer wrote that.

It seems to me that her articles (at least about Saddam and the war) AGREED with the agenda of the NYT at the time. Unless you mean the NYT's subsequent agenda of correcting errors in what was proven to be Miller's faulty reporting? And I'm not sure it is accurate to say she was fired. She negotiated a severance. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con......757.html http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/09/business/09cnd-miller.html

I don't know what the rules are now but here it used to be that one could not own a gun for five years after release from prison and I think that was for a 2+ year sentence.

Less citizens or guns?
Is that one of those things like "I can see Russia from my house" or is it a real quote?

Non violent and not involving a firearm there is no reason for not allowing them to own a firearm after serving their time. Nov violent being the Key Phrase. Such as tax evasion. No reason not to allow this person not to own a legaql firearm if they served their time or paid fines etc. That is just one example of a non violent felony.
