MSM making lies about Senator Thompson already. They must REALLY be afraid of him.
IMAGE DEFLATORS (From the American Spectator)
On Saturday, a “Draft Fred Thompson” rally was held in the small, out of the way town of Cooksville, Tennessee. The media is reporting attendance for the get-together at 300.
But the petition that attendees signed had more than 500 names attached.
The media pulled a similar shrinking job on the meeting that Thompson held on Capitol Hill earlier this month with Republican members of Congress. Then, it reported numbers between 35 to 40, when the number was closer to 60.
If there is one downside to Thompson’s process to entering the presidential race, it is that he has limited opportunity to set the record straight on the inaccuracies being generated by the media and the left, if not other GOP presidential campaigns.
For example, the New Republic recently reported that Thompson was a “phony populist” for driving a red truck around the state during his ’94 Senate campaign. But it failed to report that he took to driving the truck after his own campaign managers had attempted to package him as a straight, conventional GOP candidate.
“The truck wasn’t about changing his image, it was about his getting back to who he really was,” says a source who worked for Thompson back in ’94. “It wasn’t spin, just Fred wanting to be Fred.”
To show the feeding frenzy that is the MSM — as well as the constant inaccuracy — reports abounded yesterday with rebukes to Rudy Giuliani from Democratic candidates for the 2008 Presidential elections over something they all merely assumed he said at a campaign appearance.
I have been waiting for the MSM to start the drumbeat against Fred Thompson that they so often and so boringly used (and still do) against Ronald Reagan; the refrain of “He’s just an actor” Now, Rebecca Sinderbrand of the New York Observer has used the general theme for her latest piece, 
A rather small section, one small paragraph, in a pretty straight forward story reveals the sheer absurdity and incomprehension that prevails in the Media today and serves to show the emptiness of what passes for thinking and logic about American history in what some feel are our cultural elites. It also shows the bias against things Southern in certain circles these days.
As the Media Research Center’s News clip Page, Newsbsuters, has proven many times (see 
The New York Times cannot make up their mind if Dennis Hastert should be despised or laughed at, apparently. Neither can they decide if he is “rumpled and weary” or if he is “healthier and more relaxed” — they confusingly say both in the very same article. But one thing is sure, their underlying sentiment toward the former Speaker of the House seems to be one of pity. And this article was simply an opportunity to kick someone they think is down.
On Friday, Judge Laurence Silberman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the city of Washington D.C. could not ban its citizens from owning firearms because such a ban violates the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
What was the refrain so often hurled at the right by the “good hearted” and “more civilized” left when Chelsea Clinton was brought into the campaign discussion in the 1990s? Didn’t they all solemnly shake their heads in disgust over those eeevil Conservatives who were attacking the president’s kid? Didn’t they scold the right saying that a candidate’s children should never be an issue? Well, apparently the New York Times has abandoned that genteel notion where .
Without a hint of balance, Robert Kuttner of the Boston Globe thinks he has it all figured out — 20 months before the election — that the GOP candidates cannot win, while the Dems are the right ticket as he tries 
The worst thing about pop culture celebrities is their ever downwardly spiraling behavior. To get noticed they feel they must indulge in ever more outrageous behavior until they end up dead like Anna Nichol Smith or a drunken, debauched mess like the empty-headed Britney Spears. Sadly, the media and the gossip rags eat it up.
Last weekend, the Chicago Sun-Times gave nearly an entire page in their “Controversy” Section to a man who feels America is under attack by a radical, religion that is inseparable from Nazi Fascism. He feels it is a hateful religion that is out to destroy America and everything it stands for and it must be stopped at all costs.
