Roach and I agree that this report is symptomatic of a much larger bais that is currently on the side of the right (thought it is returning to center very slowly). Is a digression of a digression of a digression still just a digression? Heh. I know roach fairly well and I know that his claims were not without merrit, and spoke to how often he had to have this same discussion about different articles or different claims. He seems to be as tired of it as I am.

His book wasn't bad, but when you watch the show he often takes a very timid liberal, very close to the right (or even crossing the line and going right), as opposed to madman Hannity who is a die hard conservative. I'd like to see (Bill) O'Riley and (Al) Franken if we were to have a show that represented both sides. I'd watch that every day.
