White Feather for Jonah Goldberg

Jobs Jabs at Eisner, Disney Again : "Eisner described as 'pretty pathetic' the computerized human characters created by Pixar, compared with the ones Disney itself is working on with veteran animator Glen Keane, director of the studio's forthcoming film 'Rapunzel Unbraided.'

Jobs said sarcastically: 'Our films don't stack up to 'Atlantis,' 'Emperor's New Groove' or 'Treasure Planet.'"

Propagandagate Grows Some More

AMERICAblog: Because a great nation deserves the truth:

"So this is the bigger picture: Bush repeatedly lies and deceives the American people via the media. By its own admission, the White House has:

1. Planted fake news stories on local TV stations to push its agenda
2. Put journalists on the government payroll.
3. Had supposed independent journalists testify to Congress when they were being paid off by the govt.
4. Paid off journalists to push its agenda in the larger media.
5. Launched unprecendented tactics to subpoena a number of reporters and try and force them to reveal confidential sources -- all about a story concerning a White House member who broke the law by revealing a CIA agent's identity, thus endangering the lives of friends to the US around the world.
6. And now, planted fake journalists in the White House press room and passed them CIA documents to push its agenda."

When Science Becomes Fiction

Salon.com Politics:

By: Katharine Mieszkowski
It looks like it's time to add one more species to the 'endangered' list at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: scientific facts.

When asked to respond anonymously to a survey regarding their work that was conducted by the watchdog groups Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility and the Union of Concerned Scientists, some scientists received memos from higher-ups ordering them not to answer, even from home and on their personal time.

The results of the anonymous survey suggest why certain agency leaders might not have wanted the scientists' opinions to become public. Some 400 of the 1400 biologists, ecologists and botanists responded -- despite the intimidation -- and many of them reported that scientific data at U.S. Fish and Wildlife has been polluted by politics.

Forty-four percent of those who work on endangered-species issues said that they have been ordered to avoid findings that would require greater protections for wildlife. And one fifth of the agency's scientists who responded to the survey revealed that they have been personally directed to alter or omit technical information from scientific documents."

Another example of the Bush administration suppressing scientific fact when it goes against their political policies. At least this one won't start a war.
