Amused and/or alarmed in Kansas.

You can either be amused or alarmed by what's going on, or a healthy dose of both. Kevin Doel, founder of TK Magazine and president of Talon Communications Group, shares the stuff that amuses and alarms him.

Prejudiced media

To conservatives, to use the words "liberal" and "media" in the same sentence is redundant. The reporting on political stories are tainted by the reporters' own liberal bias going into the journalistic process.

Oh, you say, that's just right-wing paranoia talking.

Oh yeah? Well, following is an inquiry posted to a service I subscribe to that feeds journalist inquiries looking for expert responses:

The GOP seems intent on bashing health care reform as an affront to freedom and democracy. There is talk of repealing the legislation, and there are threats and lawsuits. How will this affect the GOP's image among Latinos and other minorities in the low- and middle-income areas that will benefit from this reform? Are they further alienating minorities and others with this attitude? What does this say about the GOP's future in a majority-minority country?

You don't see any bias going into the story before it's even written?
