Journalist Allison Kilkenny was featured in The Los Angeles Times Commentary Link because of her take on not only Fox News coverage, but also because of another Times' columnist's approach on the subject. Kilkenny discusses a leaked email from an editor at Fox News that uncovers a deliberate switch of words to sway the public's opinion on the subject.
Kilkenny is familiar with the subject because of extensive period of time she spent researching the claims on her blog. To me, that makes her a credible source, all the research and investigating she did prior to her Los Angeles Times web appearance. We have a direct link provided on how the managing editor Bill Salmon instructs his reporters to change the wording on a health care bill to be presented negatively to the public. This bill was controversial to begin with, so the fact that Fox News is guiding what information we hear about it, is wrong. I agree with how Kilkenny doesn't lightly sweep the issue under the rug. She also blasts The Los Angeles Times Editorial for doing just that back in December.
The Dec. 17th 2010 article states matter-of-factly the situation at hand and make a good point of challenging Fox News to decide what kind of show they want to be perceived as. I know when I watch ESPN news I'm getting sports. It should be upfront that when I watch Fox News I get Republican TV.... officially.
Media in general needs to have a wake up call like opinion blogs and articles to keep the real news honest about their public influence. Let the people know what their getting into upfront.

America's Past Time, Present
Ask me who the Republican 2008 presidential candidate hopefuls were and I can tell you one name, John McCain. Presidential races for me thus far have been like baseball seasons. I'll catch a game score or two that makes the news, but nothing is really worth paying attention to until The World Series. I care who wins. So the fact that there is an article in the Los Angeles Times about a 2012 presidential aspirant Mitt Romney calling President Barack Obama weak makes me think, "Who the hell is Matt Romney?"

Well his name is 'Mitt' not 'Matt' and only time will tell if I will recall him as the former. He is what can be considered the first of many Republicans who will start the long road to trying to become the challenger of Obama in the 2012 election. Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, spoke to a packed ballroom in Washington at the Conservative Political Action Conference. His main topic of conversation was everything that is wrong with the President.
The article summarizes all Romney's accusations and mentions future key players in the GOP race to just the election. This article, along with others to come about these players, is important to read so that come election day we are not wondering how the Yankees got to the World Series AGAIN. Follow the road that leads us to how the final two candidates make it on the ballot.
