Not that this is loaded, or anything...

This one reads like something off the Fox ticker:

"Terrorists endorse Pelosi's 'good policy of dialogue'"

When people talk about bias, this is actually what they mean. This headline is decidedly Pro-Zionist, which is fine, of course, but what disturbs me is that it implies that Pelosi would be sympathetic towards terrorists (and un-American) when, in fact, she's trying to find a way to save lives, American and Muslim, by finding out exactly why they hate us so much. Hell, she might even be broker a way for us to get some desperately needed help in Iraq.

Actually, what disturbs me more is that right-wing talking points know no borders. What is implied in that headline is made explicit here:

"'I just don't know what got into her head, to be completely honest with you," [Romney] said. 'Her going to a state which is without question a sponsor of terror, and having her picture taken with (Bashar) Assad and being seen in a headscarf and so forth is sending the wrong signal to the people of Syria and to the people of the Middle East'."

I wonder what the right signal is, Mitt?

Oh yeah, endless occupation...

Update: Crooks and Liars looks to similar grounds...
