Sweet baby jesus.  Feel free to read the following article, its short.  And this bitch is just batshit crazy.  <a href="http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/editorial/15986574.htm">http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/editorial/15986574.htm</a>  and here is my letter to the editor:Dear Hayseeds: Why in the hell would you publish such a nonsensical piece of shit as what was written by Jenean Mcbrearty?  I am amazed.  There was Not one single fact, not one example to back up any of the crazy rantings of this woman.  I guess in Kentucky what passes for journalism is just being able to assemble words into coherent sentences.  Do you guys have electricity and  indoor plumbing yet?  If not please contact me and I can send people to help you there.

When I drove across the country a few years ago I'd always stay in small towns and have my breakfasts in diners and I'd grab whatever local papers they had on the way in. Every paper had an editorial by either Bill O'Rielly or Ann Coulter, and all of them looked not much different from this. They barely had a topic and really were just excuses to make up a liberal straw man and knock it down. It was obvious that these two, and others like them, had staff that would churn these things out every day so that the small town, red state papers would have something to publish. A new submission from O'Rielly's "collumn" was in the papers five of the six days. Nothing even remotely liberal in any of the papers.So this woman, in copying what she sees every day, has made a voodoo doll in her mind of well... me, and sticks pins in it to make herself feel useful. Good for her! But the papers themselves would be more useful if they filled their Op-Ed page with possum recipes and hog reports instead.

So..why were you so offended by this column ?Was it because it was from a right wing viewpoint ? There are all kinds of editorials written with a liberal viewpoint in a lot bigger papers such as the New York Times, do you have as big a problem with those also ?

I wasn't "offended" by it. There wasn't a substantive piece of information in the article to even be offended by. Half the sentences I thought she might be switching to include conservatives, (the first warning about the influence of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_industrial_complex" target="_blank">"military industrial complex"</a> was Eisenhower, in his farewell speech as he left the White House. And if we have to worry about anyone looking for a "utopia" it's the neoconservatives who got us into Iraq with fantasies about democratizing the Middle East and no back-up plan.) She's merely ranting nonsensically about liberals being evil. I laughed through the piece.And I have no problem with the fact that there are liberal and conservative editorialists in the NYT. I take issue with their content when I disagree with it. I also read conservatives like George Will because I value their opinions. I don't just get all bent out of shape because they have a forum to express them, and I don't read them just to attack them. Can you say the same?Any sensible person could see from my post what my take was on it, so why were you so offended by my post?

I have lived many places. OH, Upstate NY, Queens, DC (ok, VA) , IN, and now FL.  I see these people everyday.  I work construction.    When i was in jail in Indiana, I was there just prior to Thanksgiving.  Thats when i heard the unthinkable.. People talking about missing their Grandmothers Possum pie, some even talked about eating Racoon.  It was only the older african american gents that mentioned it. I have some cousins from KY and have heard similar tales from there as well.***You may disagree with whats printed in the NYTimes, but it is probably 80-90% factually correct.  And those articles can be argued, on a basis of facts.  That artilce / op-ed is devoid of any basis in reality.  I am as liberal/progressive as they come, but in no way do i think our soldiers are Neo-Nazi baby burners.  Ok. I think that about Bush.    She has the right to say what she wants, but that paper has the right, or actually the obligation to print factual information.  Not batshit crazy hysteria.  I don't care who the writer is talking about be it Dem or Repub, I just want the truth.  I realize it was her opinion, but it was less than print worthy.  And I am going to be upset and I , along with the rest of the lefty people in this country need to speak up.  When someone wants to discuss something honestly and openly i will welcome it, but individuals like this woman who believes in the terrorist boogie monster and wants to spread/propogate fear to keep people in line can eat a fucking dick.  Its time to tell the truth.  Nothing will change, or get better until we deal in reality, and start holding the media, no matter what form, accountable for what they print.   Just because i don't like it doesn;'t mean im going to bitch if there are facts presented.  If Jefferson in lousiana has commited a crime (90k in his freezer , Dem) then i say hang em high.  i wanna see the hit piece printed on him.  Fear an Smear is the worst political tactic in our country.  Why not deal with the actuall issues.  The media is the 4th estate in this country.  I think they hold more sway than Congress, and the President combined.  They are the one delivering the message and breaking it down to be delivered to us.  They should be held to a much higher standard for the amount of power they control.  I think the media has become too much power in the hands of too few.  If you haven't seen  Media Matters its worth a look (its a media watchdog), yes its got an obvious left lean, but I think that you would be hard pressed to prove anything on there false.  I just would like to see some standards.  Its hard enough to know what is really going on without some idiot spewing forth just plain horseshit.

I think I strayed from the path of good english.I don't think it can be put back in right now. Maybe if the dems can gain enough trust amongst the general public and can sell it politically... hahahaha! And maybe possums will fly out of my butt! (Impossible because they've surely drowned in all the pee.)But media consolidation doesn't necessary deal with standards of content. That's more related to the "Fairness Doctrine" or "Equal Time Rule", I'm tired and I forget which one. Because the reinstatement of that WOULD be a clearer first ammendment issue, it probably cannot be done. But, if I had three wishes, I'd take Aggie's rack and wish #3 would be the old Equal Time Rule as it stood prior to 1987. But since the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine is what allowed Fox "News" to exist, it would go out of business, and the republican party would secede from the nation before they gave it up now. In other words it's NEVER... GOING... TO HAPPEN.

Yah. The "Fairness Doctorine"  concerned equal time for both sides of the argument. And it definetly needs brought back.  As to the Standards on Content, there should be only one for it to be legally considered and refered to as news.  The Truth.  Opinion and The truth are sometimes near one another but are never the same.   The truth of what happens, or the facts are easy.ex:President Bush visted Vietnam today.  He spoke with Prime Minister Joe (joe-chi-men) explaining the US is dedicated to helping the Asia Pacific region grow economically.  The President also received  a considerable questions regaurding Iraq, and what his proposed strategy for dealing with the turmoil in the current civil war.  ex 2:Well finally, 30 years too late Bush shows up in Iraq.  I spent all of 15 minutes with prime minister Joe, before be whisked off to Moscow for a brief meeting with his buddie Pooty Poot.  The President dodged questions concerning the quagmire in Iraq which is quickly turning to a meat grinder for our troops.  The president explained how we would be happy to move the corporations into their region of the world, enslave their people, pollute their water, and rape their land. ex 3:Today President Bush traveled to Vietnam, to reassure the Asian nations of Americas commitment to their region.  After a lengthy discussion with Primie Minister Joe the President outlined his strategic guidlines for a clear and conciess victory in Iraq.  Taking time to explain that we have to fight Al Queda in Iraq so we don't have to fight them in our shopping malls.  If we were to leave Iraq early the insurgents would likely follow us home.  Then they would know where you and I live.  Then they would kill America, and once they are here they will unite with the queers and make us all convert to the Muslim faith.  The president spelled it out clearly for the world.  Ted Kennedy killed a girl.Yes this is waaaay exagerated to make the point in few words.    The Truth shouldn't be polarizing, its just that, the truth, fact.  Its up to the individual  to decide what and how to deal with it.truth&ensp; /–noun, plural truths /truðz, truθs/ [trooth<img class="luna-Img" src="http://cache.lexico.com/dictionary/graphics/luna/thinsp.png" border="0" width="2" height="4" />z, trooths] <table border="0" class="luna-Ent"><tbody><tr><td class="dn" valign="top">1.</td><td valign="top">the true or actual state of a matter: He tried to find out the truth. </td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" class="luna-Ent"><tbody><tr><td class="dn" valign="top">2.</td><td valign="top">conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement. </td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" class="luna-Ent"><tbody><tr><td class="dn" valign="top">3.</td><td valign="top">a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like: math
