Restricting government power is at the core of the Bill of Rights. It's too bad the ninth and tenth amendments are mostly gutted by activist courts. The New York Times and Washington Post are "reliable" proponents of an expansive government imposing its authority on the people. That is one reason they are so gullible sometimes and fall for frauds & liars who give them what they want, namely reasons to increase government power.Bunkermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581707538321410112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051982125491512246.post-65924361933070096032007-02-12T18:36:00.000-08:002007-02-12T18:36:00.000-08:00Bunkerman you need to read my posts a bit more car...Bunkerman you need to read my posts a bit more carefully. I said they are the 'most' reliable. These two newspapers have employed thousands of reporters for over a century...of course there are going to be a couple bad apples. No one is perfect. But in the history of american journalism the New York Times and the Washington Post particularly stand out for their trustworthiness and accuracy. But if you are a conservative or republican any criticism of the US government ( and it's policies ) is strictly prohibitted. Thankfully the founding fathers weren't consulting the extreme right wing of the GOP when writing the first amendment. And I definitely wasn't teasing before ( or now).Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264912815575367588noreply@blogger.com
