| 12/22/08 | Oliver North: Missing the story again Last week the so-called mainstream media fixated on a Baghdad shoe-throwing contest, more government bailout bucks and the delightful prospect of having Caroline Kennedy appointed to Hillary Clinton's vacant seat in the U.S. Senate. The potentates of the press gave short shrift or simply ignored two far more important news stories: the first-ever assembly of Latin American leaders gathered to stick it to the United States, and the passing of a great conservative leader who helped Ronald Reagan become one of America's greatest presidents. |

However, when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked at a Christian Science Monitor press breakfast in June whether she would support efforts to keep the talk radio-killing Fairness Doctrine from being re-established, the speaker replied without hesitation: "The interest in my caucus is the reverse," and Rep. "Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) has been active behind this (revival of the Fairness Doctrine) for a while now." |

| 12/09/08 | Calling in 'gay' to work is latest form of protest Some same-sex marriage supporters are urging people to "call in gay" Wednesday to show how much the country relies on gays and lesbians, but others question whether it's wise to encourage skipping work given the nation's economic distress.

The fact that hotels bore the brunt of the attacks this time and on previous occasions makes it clear that the terrorists focused on commerce and tourism to achieve their nefarious goals. Meanwhile, the executives of the travel industry of in the United States continue to apply tremendous pressure on the administration to increase the number of countries that participate in the Visa Waiver Program. |
