Telling it like it is: DisHonor Awards Roast Media
EFL and Fair Use
NewsMax’s Wes Vernon attended the Media Research Center’s "DisHonor Awards: Roasting the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal Reporters of 2003." Here is his report:

Boston Globe writer Charles Pierce, who posited Teddy Kennedy offering comfort to Mary Jo Kopechne, won the "Ozzy Osbourne Award" for the wackiest quote of the year at the DisHonor Awards dinner Thursday night. Here is Pierce’s comment:
"If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought her comfort in her old age."
The audience reacted with a mixture of bewilderment and puzzled laughter, but based on the applause meter, Pierce’s observation in the Boston Globe magazine won hands down. "Sick!" declared at least one woman in the audience when she heard of the comment. Pierce won out over keen competition. All nominees appeared in their own film clips. As usual, none showed up to accept the "dishonors."
Check out the rest - I think Asinine and DisIngenuous might be better than DisHonor, but that’s just me. There’s some great stuff in here, folks.

#1 Thanks, .com an interesting post. If one goes to the referenced article and reads it, you'll find a paragraph about Rush Limbaugh being a surprise guest. That includes a link to his remarks where Rush suggested discarding the term "main stream media" and replacing it with "the partisan media". He reasoned they are no longer mainstream, but remain partisan.

#2 Jeez, this site gets more like Scrappleface every day. Did Pierce really say that? And here I thought nothing could be worse than listening to Chris Matthews shout and splatter saliva every night.

#3 Partisan Media I like it. It has a long and distinguished history in Anglo-American history.

Poor Teddy.... for the upteenth time, if you had been driving a Beetle you'd been a President.
