Right vs. Left
Why is it that Republican can make false claims about terrorist attacks and the media and the people do nothing about it, but when Democrats seems to do the same thing they get in trouble. During the 2004 election buildup at least two different Republican make claims about terrorism that could not be confermed or did not hold up under investigation. Katherine Harris and another Republican, I believe Jim Bunning, both claimed that terrorist were after their families. Both stories turned out to be worng, but nothing happened to them. Recently, the Senator from Minnasota made a claim about terrorism that did not stand up and he will not run for reelection.

2. The media is owned by corporations
and corporations are usually right wing supporters.

4. Because like all sociopaths they make others adhere to rules and
regulations that they themselves do not follow. They spend all day coercing other to follow their 'non partisan journalism news' rules and then break them - themselves.

Look at BTK. He was a rule enforcer all day long while he had murdered families.

Typical: one set of rules for the sociopaths...another for their opposition.
