back in the 1970's we had more of a liberal bias.i think the pendulum is shifting in the other direction. there was a show called "raising the bar" which focused very much on criminal defense attorneys. there was "the practice" my favorite. it was about criminal defense attorneys. there was a cultural response on the part of news media and entertainment media to what the audience wanted to see. >> good segue. jonathan, from the commerce report of the operation, would you agree that the media contributes to -negative perception of the public defender? >> law and order has been running for 20 years in various forms. the media reflects what the public wants. that is my first point. my second point is, i was a federal prosecutor. like any other federal prosecutor, i came to admire, respect, the impressed with the quality of work that public defenders did. the best lawyers in washington, d.c., los angeles. for the most part, those in the public defender's office for the best. the third is, you have a great product but you do not sell it.

it's cut on the bias.the reason is that after you've inserted the cording the width or distance between the edge and the stitching will be 1/4" or very close to it. if you have 5/8" seam allowances cut the bias strips 1-3/4" wide. after sewing, then the distance from the edge to the seam will be that 5/8" seam allowance. that will be an important helpful hint when sewing a little bit later. to sew, i have used a standard cording that is used for most projects, and my 1-1/4" fabric. i have the cording sandwiched between the fabrics. you can see that i have used a cording or piping foot. it's hollowed out the width of the fabric. i have moved the needle so it's sewing next to the cording snugging that stitch. really, all you need to do is to match these cut edges. because of that hollowed out section it will guide in that area. you'll be sewing a much longer section than i just did. but you get the idea. then, take a quick measure to make certain that this width is the size that you'd like. i think that i wo

that len bias killed len bias. >> what year? >> gosh -- >> we can back of '98 when they passed the drug law. >> what year was it? >> '82? >> no, i think it was '85 or '86. >> what i was leading up to is what impact did it have on the '88 drug law we passed? people call it the len bias act. >> unfortunately one of the thing len's death did was wake people up cocaine was a killer. right up until len bias died, people told themselves that, you know, there was a time when people said cocaine wasn't addictive. remember that? the, quote, good drug. it made you energetic and smart and people didn't really realize yet, i think, the real rage of it. the toll of it. of that i think we understood. >> do you think that law was passed because of len buy snouse >> you know, i don't recall. i think my take on it at the time, i was so wrapped up in his death and what it did to the maryland basketball program and all of his teammates and kids, i think i was probably more caught up in the personal toll of it than i was in the broader, legal impac

there might be a bias against wachovia but not platecal bias. even so, if this bill were simply to defund n.p.r.'s direct public contribution then at least it would only impact the organization with the alleged political bias which is again based on a lie. but this bill goes further. it hurts local public radio stations and tens of millions of listeners from across the country. if this bill is enacted, communities across the country will be denied programming that their residents want. whatever happened to the philosophy that more choice is better? my colleagues, this is bad public policy. this is a terrible bill. this is a terrible waste of our time. and i urge my colleagues to reject it. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentlelady from california reserves the balance of her time. ms. eshoo: does the gentlewoman have speakers? mrs. blackburn: yes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from tennessee. mrs. blackburn: thank you, mr. speaker. and i want to clear up what i think is probably a couple of misunde

almost 72% at 8.4 because of anti-islam and bias. about 6.4 because of anti-christian bias. so i wonder what our priorities are to. and how about their persecution in some muslim countries today? how about the persecution of some muslim communities who were former muslim to convert to another faith or no faith at all? the point here is all bigotry is to be condemned, but we're only credible if we are principled and condemnation, selective indignation is not helpful. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator kyl. i would like to ask consent to enter into the record the two-page list of hearings that have been held in both the house and the senate relating to discrimination against specific religious groups, including jews and christians, and know that this is the first hearing relating to the any discrimination against those of muslim religion. i think it is obvious that we condone prejudice and bigotry against all religious groups. senator blumenthal? >> i would just like to thank you, senator durbin, and also trained for, for conducting this hearing which i think is by

there is a predominately liberal bias in there and that network i look at it f. presently america has three primary news networks about a dozen cable news networks we have a fourteen trillion dollar deficit the american taxpayer still needs to foot the bill for n.p.r. i just think at a time when you know only two percent of the funding comes from the federal government even ron schiller said himself we don't even need it to mean we can survive without it and you know even agrees with that to president obama's bipartisan deficit commission and even stated that they shouldn't limit the funding and save the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars but here you've opened up what i don't quite understand is your problem with the fact that n.p.r. is taking federal money or is your problem with the fact that you think n.p.r. has a liberal bias well i think about it i think the better question to ask is why. i'm not asking this question if i say no answer my question for you then you can tell i think i think you should ask the federal government why are they funding pre

has a liberal bias well i think the better i think the better question to ask is why. i'm not asking this question that's right no answer my question first and you can tell me i think i think if you should ask the federal government why are they going to be predominantly partisan organizations like planned parenthood or acorn i think that's a better question and i don't want my tax money going to pay for those type of organizations and saying it's silly to characterize them as partisan though i mean n.p.r. is just not it just isn't partisan but it's a very specific definition usually would only be applied to the most extreme cases fox news on the right to a lesser degree but still probably you can make an argument m.s.m. d.c. on the left is growing more that way n.p.r. as you saw from this incident actually is very takes very seriously this idea that people say they're biased if you notice when there's anything even hinting in that direction they need only fire everyone the c.e.o. steps down that's because unlike other networks they really value that their neutrality i

i do not think there are aware of this bias for the most part, but i'm speaking from my own anecdotalexperience. my

there is the inherent bias against us as a criminal defense lawyers.dded on top of that is the fact that we have this position of incompetence, somebody who is new that does not know what they're doing.db& and that our clients are probably guilty or there would have hired a real lawyer. it is amazing, considering those biases, that we speak to anybody in the press. why would we go to that source when our image has been so abused in? >> but how do we change if we do not go to the source? >> we have to, but you have to overcome that initial resistance. >> years ago i was involved in the case and one of the question was, what you think about prosecutors? wonderful. what about criminal defense lawyers? one person wrote just one word, sleazy. when i met him i said, we have never met, i did not take it personally. he said, oh, i meant it in a good way.

guess the real results don't jibe well with the talking points of the day so isn't there a belated bias in covering the events in wisconsin enough evidence to prove it's past time we remove the word news from fox joining me now to offer his take dan gainor vice president and t. boone pickens free market fellow at the business media institute then. fox couldn't find a pilot so they had to make it up our series plenty of violence declined in the first of all let's talk about the first video it's an entirely correct video anybody who has a problem with it they're the ones who are being on balance this is a union protest related directly to the wisconsin event so of course it's appropriate video footage it does show somebody from the union side pushing around somebody from the other side story and we could show what know that that first video was from the writers' strike that there was a person of three hasn't there with the day we're talking about how do you have to get it from that's when this current cycle is that's a current video with the palm trees because you guys going to protest so

in favor of free trade thinking the same reason it created a bias in favor of all kinds of pure free market thinking because it's much easier to build mathematical models of a free market free trade version of the world because you assume that markets are perfect then you know exactly what's going to happen it's all for the best and so things that don't seem important like an obsession with mathematicians ation created an incredibly strong pressure inside the ivory tower that pushed things in the free market free trade direction. that's. what. what is comparative advantage ok the theory of comparative advantage is the ultimate intellectual basis in serious economics of the claim the free trade is best basically what it comes down to it's the theories invented by a man called david ricardo in eight hundred seventy eight he was a british economist it comes down to the idea alternately that nations trade for the same reasons that people do for example you're on your way to work this morning you could stop at a starbucks and buy a cup of coffee you could have made that coffee at home wou

the focus of the national review article were charms of left-leaning bias. conservatives have long dismissed this times as a hotbed of liberalism, biased beyond recommendation. in an attempt to example -- and five issues, buckley's 1970 run for the senate estate, in the antiballistic missile treaty and vote in 1969. the failed supreme court nomination of appellate -- federal appellate court judge clip meant haynesworth, and president nixon's decision to mine the harbor. and they concluded with the new standards of the times more broadly emulated. particularly by magazines and networks, the nation would be far better informed and more honorably served. that's was clear lay tribute to the journalism practiced and upsell by abe rosenthal, then executive editor of the new york time, from 1969 to 1986. a journalism based on professional detachment as much as possible, impartiality. rosen tall was termed to keep the paper straight. he once said it was personality to keep a firm right handotiller because the news room would naturally drift to the left. he believed
