Leftist muckraking unmasked
Don't believe in a liberal bias in the media? Feast your eyes on this gem from the Associated Press (AP):
"Kent Narrows Channel Fills Up With Silt"
The article describes the silt as "damaging" and a "concern" to, of course, a special interest group: the Kent Island Yacht Club. They conveniently leave out silt's benefits to farming throughout history.
By the end, the group is panhandling for government handouts:
"[Bob] Blama told the newspaper the narrows was last dredged in 2001. It was dredged to the authorized depth of between 7 and 9 feet. The silt was dumped at Eastern Neck Island Wildlife Refuge, 20,000 feet away at a cost of $737,000.
"Blama said many waterways must compete for funding to be dredged."
How do they justify wasting your and my tax dollars? With their typical alarmist, henny-penny-the-sky-is-falling, leftist exagerations:
"The inability of ships to get into and out of the Kent Narrows may take away from its commercial appeal."
Still not convinced? The source is The (Easton, Md.) Star Democrat.
This blog believes it is high time to storm all media buildings nationwide with torches and frankenstein rakes. It's intellectualist yellow journalism like this that allows the terrorists to win.

That story litterally is about muckraking.

Hilarious. I thought you were serious at first. You got me, Rick. You got me good.
Can I play along? *Ahem* How dare these America-hating, volvo-driving latte-drinking, terrorist-pandering, tree-hugging, New Yorker-reading, moonbat, whacko, contemptious LIBERALS ask for funding to keep a waterway navigable? Clearly they hate Americas farmers and don't support the War on Terror. They won't be happy until they've aborted every fetus in America!
