Fox News Channel’s Special Report With Brit Hume and its “Grapevine” segment always proves good little details missed by the mainstream media (often because it’s about them and their hideous bias). Here’s a couple I liked today:
This first one speaks to the idiocy of liberal-left governments and their propensity to think they can fix every problem with their big nanny-state government taxpayer-cash-laden ideas and projects. The little story has “liberal” written all over it.
Lavatory LiquidationThe city of Seattle is selling its five high-end automated public toilets on eBay after the porta-potties became so filthy that even homeless drug abusers refused to use them.
The New York Times reports that while the starting bid for the toilets is $89,000 apiece, the city stands to lose considerably after officials spent one million taxpayer dollars on each unit. The restrooms were installed in early 2004. The facilities have doors that open and close at the touch of a button and can disinfect and clean themselves.
Seattle officials say the project failed because the toilets were placed in neighborhoods that already had drug users and transients. A homeless woman said, “I used to smoke crack in there. But I won’t even go inside that thing now. It’s disgusting.”
And this one just speaks to a disgrace in media bias.
Going Gaga
On his upcoming overseas trip, Barack Obama will be met along the way by the anchors of the three network evening newscasts. About 200 other journalists have also asked to join Obama during his trip.
But Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post reports that John McCain has taken three foreign trips in the past four months — all unaccompanied by a single network anchor and with little fanfare.
The Tyndall Report, which monitors news coverage, says that since June the nightly newscasts on the three networks spent a combined 114 minutes covering Obama while devoting just 48 minutes to McCain.
