  Media Bias Roundup - 05/12/08 May 12th, 2008 by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton Let’s start today with a huge congratulations to Bookworm at the Bookworm Room who was just published for the first time at Pajamas Media! For those of you who have missed out on the Bookworm Room, you just don’t know what you are missing. Bookworm is a great writer and the insight you garner from Bookworm’s articles is incredible. Check out Bookworm’s article: A San Francisco Bay Military Recruiter in ‘Harms Way’. Congrats once again to Bookworm who is a great blogger and a great friend… Then bop on over to The Strata-Sphere and check out the latest post on the Mahdi Army. If you want to figure out what is truly going on in the middle east, this is a great place to start - We Will Soon Find Out Who Controls The Rogue Mahdi Army Fighters. Equally as informative and a wonderful blog as well can be found at Friends of Mark Fuhrman. One of our favorites - this blog pulls no punches whatsover. Check out the posting under: Is the New Media forcing accountability of the MSM wire services? More to follow bat fans… Update: We had a tip this morning from Valerie E. Looper - thanks Valerie! She points out an article at the Washington Post that is not all it seems to be. Read it carefully and you will see that our Immigration authority has been trying to deport this woman for 10 years or so. While her plight is one to have sympathy for, this is the media truly trying to influence a legal and political topic by playing on the public’s heart-strings. In Custody, in Pain. We’d like to know your comments on this one folks… On a lighter note, Brutally Honest posts an article for the ages: Great tits not impacted by global warming. I’m not touching that one - you just have to see it for yourself… Tom Elia at The New Editor asks: Has Andrew Sullivan Become a Chicago Democratic Precinct Captain? Chicago politics is a fascinating study in Democratic nature - this should be a daily read… Also from Tom at The New Editor: Obama Unstained by Chicago Way. An excerpt: Here’s what you’ll never read in the national media about the corruption in Chicago: In the last 36 years, since 1972, 27 Chicago alderman have been convicted of crimes. Not accused of wrongdoing, not just accused of lapses in judgment, not brought before an ethics panel for questionable dealings. Convicted of crimes. Sent to the hoosegow. Three more former alderman are currently under indictment. And one more from Tom on Obama and this one you’ve just got to read: Barack Obama’s ‘Easily Won’ Media Coverage. For in-depth reporting on politics, you just can’t beat The New Editor. Media related and just because we wanted to see the pictures, The Anchoress tips us to pics at Chron.com: The first photos of Jenna’s wedding. Update: More from around the web… Wizbang - Back To Normal At The Boston Globe Wizbang - How To Soft-Sell A Terrorist Takeover The Anchoress - Color-blind Bush, Racist Hillary?
