It's a Start - An AZ Republic article: fair and balanced

Tue, 24 Oct 2006 21:01:26 -0400

It was refreshing to see this reporter doing a better job of reporting, instead of distorting Barry's positions.

Excerpts:

"Three candidates for governor. Three wildly different plans to address illegal immigration."

"Three candidates, three border plans. One big decision for voters."

No doubt in this article about how many candidates for Governor there are.

Let's hope this is the start of a trend in fair reporting and not a one time event.

Governor candidates differ on border solutions

Politicans are not our friends - A PRO Prop. 207 argument

Sun, 15 Oct 2006 12:31:05 -0400

A well reasoned and articulate argument to vote FOR Prop. 207; Limiting Eminent Domain.

Read entire article by David Euchner here.

Highlights:

"This proposition protects the rights of all property owners, rich and poor alike, from the misuse of eminent domain. The only people who stand to lose are politicians."

"Politicians hate Prop. 207 because it puts strict controls on how they may use eminent domain to take property. Small-town politicians — Democrats and Republicans alike — have been taking people's homes and small businesses and giving that property to real estate developers or large corporations."

The State of Modern Journalism

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 23:51:56 -0400

This is the kind of garbage that passes for modern, professional journalism?

What a load of crap! With media bias this blatant, no wonder main stream media readership and subscribership is down.

Let's see just how bad of a job Mr. Paul Davenport of the Associated Press has failed to uphold the standards of his profession.

An 839 word article in which 479 words are devoted to Janet (57% of the total), 330 words for Len (39%) and a mere 12 words for Barry (1.4%). The sole mention being: "Libertarian Barry Hess also is on the Nov. 7 general election ballot.". What kind of crap is that. And this guy calls himself a journalist? No wonder the main stream media is in the state it is. Hell, this guy could work for the AZ Republic.

Barry IS the Libertarian nominee for Governor. One of THREE candidates on the ballot. On the ballot, in the voter guide, during the debates, he is one third of the people's options to earn their vote. Does Mr. Davenport care? Doesn't look like it.

Did Mr. Davenport contact Mr. Hess to inquire as to his position on education? NO! Did Mr. Davenport even attempt to research Barry's postion on education? Sure as heck doesn't look like it.

With reporting like this, it is understandable how one can only question the journalistic integrity of one Mr. Davenport and the AP for allowing reporting like this under their watch.

Here's the article, read it for yourself, let us know what you think.

RNC Chair Mehlman Demonstrates Effective Leadership

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 21:54:19 -0400

Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, in placing principles over party politics, exhibited true leadership when he exercised extreme moral courage to support the Democrat candidate for Senator, CT, Joe Lieberman, whom he believes to be the best candidate for the job over the Republican candidate. We can all benefit from his example.

Some nicer news + blog coverage

Fri, 13 Oct 2006 09:20:15 -0400

We've been focusing on the media bias for a while, and I'm about to go record a radio spot, already paid for by the fund-raising... But noticing the positive mentions are just as important.

From The Bird at Phoenix New Times:

Debate Dish

Just a brief note from this political pigeon on Thursday's gubernatorial debate on KAET's Horizon, moderated by the ever-affable Michael "I swear it ain't a toupee" Grant. Is this winged wiseacre alone in thinking that perennial Libertarian candidate Barry Hess won the verbal tussle like a blue-ribboned porker at the state fair?

Hess seemed intelligent, good-humored, and capable of doing more than spouting off the same ol', same ol' that viewers of such televised donnybrooks usually get. And, unlike Len "Premarital" Munsil and Governor Janet "I'm 36 points ahead!" Napolitano, Hess at least acted as if he'd had a cuppa joe before airtime.

Sure, most of that Libertarian stuff is strictly for schoolteachers who read too much Ayn Rand, but Hess was saying things neither Munsil nor Nappy have the cojones to state, like maybe we should release everyone who's in prison for smoking a jay. He even addressed Latinos in Spanish at the end of the broadcast! Political poison in a state so rabidly anti-Mexican.

Yeah, Hess only polls 3 percent. And yeah, the dood lists endorsements by professional wrestlers on his Web site. But boring he ain't. For that alone, Barry scores points with this persnickety pelican.

ASU Web Devil's Cover Story - "The Other Candidate"

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 14:18:46 -0400

ASU Web Devil devotes their cover story to AZLP Candidate Barry Hess.

There is hope for future. ASU Students are realizing that there is another choice than just the same old two parties, of which there is no difference anymore.

Press Release: AZLP Candidate Barry Hess Disputes SurveyUSA/KPNX-TV POLL

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 12:20:52 -0400

Libertarian Gubernatorial Candidate Barry Hess today challenged the Methodology, Accuracy, and Results of SurveyUSA/KPNX-TV’s flawed poll. According to Mr. Hess, the survey is flawed in numerous ways that render the results meaningless.

The problems are:

1. Limited population: The survey relies on a statistically insignificant population of only 472. This is outside the norm of statistical significance for populations for statewide questions and is too small to accurately reflect the opinion of the state.
