Important things. Things that change the course of the public conversation. From the Pentagon Papers to the ruined terrorist-surveillance programs of the Bush era, the Times has routinely found that secrecy is a danger and sunlight is a disinfectant. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/brentbozell/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091120/cm_uc_crbbox/op_2312040 uc/20091120/op_2312040 Brent Bozell III opinion Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Brent Bozell III - It is amazing how a phrase can emerge seemingly out of nowhere to become the statement du jour — used, overused and ultimately abused. Last year, there was "low-hanging fruit" everywhere. Today, everyone's being "thrown under the bus." http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/brentbozell/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091118/cm_uc_crbbox/op_2312022 uc/20091118/op_2312022 Brent Bozell III opinion Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Brent Bozell III - Picking up the Sunday paper Nov. 15 could make a reader a little airsick — even while standing in the driveway. The Washington Post "news analysis" on the front page carried the headline "9/11 trial could become a parable of right and wrong: Before worldwide audience, both prosecution, defense seek control of narrative." http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/brentbozell/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091113/cm_uc_crbbox/op_2311970 uc/20091113/op_2311970 Brent Bozell III opinion Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Brent Bozell III - It's a sad state of affairs. There is absolutely no barrier of sexual behavior that TV network executives aren't willing to cross in a desperate gambit for ratings. There also seems be to no sleazy line that a squeaky clean teenage TV star or pop star won't cross to "break out" into grown-up stardom. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/brentbozell/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091111/cm_uc_crbbox/op_2311943 uc/20091111/op_2311943 Brent Bozell III opinion Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Brent Bozell III - Horror spread quickly across America as the story unfolded: An Army psychiatrist went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood in Texas, killing 13 and wounding 30. But as more information emerged, clearly pointing to an act of terrorism, many in the "news" media simply chose not to report news. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/brentbozell/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091106/cm_uc_crbbox/op_2311885 uc/20091106/op_2311885 Brent Bozell III opinion Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Brent Bozell III - In the earliest days of television, shows were often supported entirely by one sponsor. There was the "Texaco Star Theater" with Milton Berle. Remember "General Electric Theater" with Ronald Reagan? The corporate patron was held responsible for the content within the program. More to the point, the corporate patron wanted the association with the show it was sponsoring. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/brentbozell/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091104/cm_uc_crbbox/op_2311869 uc/20091104/op_2311869 Brent Bozell III opinion Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Brent Bozell III - The New York Times editorial page is a perfect weather vane for the way the liberal media's hot air is blowing. In an Oct. 26 editorial called "Torching the Big Tent," they lamented: "The feeble pulse of moderation in the Republican Party is in danger of flat-lining in the Nov. 3 Congressional election in upstate New York." http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/brentbozell/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091030/cm_uc_crbbox/op_2311816 uc/20091030/op_2311816 Brent Bozell III opinion Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:00:00 GMT Brent Bozell III - Violence — especially grotesque, gory or bloody violence — has become a staple of network television during sweeps periods. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/brentbozell/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091028/cm_uc_crbbox/op_2311787 uc/20091028/op_2311787 Brent Bozell III opinion Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:00:00 GMT Brent Bozell III - The Left is ecstatic about the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll, which claimed a surge in public support for the so-called "public option," wrapped in the (insincere) rhetoric of "choice" and "competition." The poll asks if the government should "create a new health insurance plan to compete with private insurance plans," and 57 percent agree. Happy days are here again for liberals.
