| Lim: Barisan practises double standards | | 2008-06-15 00:19:00 | | theStar - Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has hit out at Barisan Nasional for allowing its members to receive titles recommended from Pakatan Rakyat state governments.
He said Barisan did not allow its component parties to be involved in any way with Pakatan administered states, but receiving awards seemed to be all right.
He was referring to a vernacular newspaper report quoting Gerakan and MCA | | By: No2umnO | | |

| | Media Double Standards | | 2007-09-27 17:44:00 | | Anyone else notice this? As I was watching the Yankees celebrating their postseason berth on ESPNews last night, I was immediately struck by something.Back in both 2003 and 2004, the Red Sox were ripped by certain "usual suspects" in both print and electronic media for their celebrations in wrapping up the Wild Card berth both years. (You may remember Derek Lowe, Kevin Millar and a few other players going down to the Baseball Tavern on Boylston Street down the block from Fenway in full uniform to celebrate with the fans that night in 2004.) These said critics ripped them for celebrating such a thing.But last night, the Yankees only wrap a playoff berth, nothing specific yet, and wildly celebrate in their locker room, and the same idiots who ripped the Sox say nothing about that. (And did anyone else notice how low-key the celebrating was last Saturday when the Sox wrapped up their playoff berth?)I don't have a problem with teams, including the Yankees, celebrating that.

| Double standards | | 2007-06-27 02:37:53 | | I don’t recall the AP ever running a story about Bill Maher saying that he wished Dick Cheney had been killed while he was in Afghanistan because “people wouldn’t be dying needlessly” (I couldn’t find one in their archives, either). Yet they see fit to run a story on Ann Coulter mocking Bill Maher and the mainstream media and saying that she wished John Edwards had been killed in a terrorist attack. The story begins without even mentioning Bill Maher and making it look like Coulter was being serious. Only when you get to the very end of the story do you find out that her comments were made in jest. I have no intention of defending Coulter, she’s perfectly capable of doing that herself, but it is so interesting to me that liberals refuse to see the bias in the way the media presents stories and which stories it chooses to run. I often wonder whether they are truly blind to the bias or they are simply being dishonest. The BBC, for one, admitted its lef | | By: Casey's Critical Thinking | | |
| | Let’s talk about double standards! | | 2007-04-14 05:52:02 | | Examples of double standards have been occurring more frequently as time goes by. Can you imagine the hullabaloo if the baptists had asked for a place to be set aside for their private use for prayer at airports? Can you imagine what would happen if children of Conservatives did the type of demonstrations that have been occurring recently at colleges and universities when Conservative speakers were asked by Conservative students to speak? As usual, the liberals and their media hound dogs would scream to the world that free speech was being taken away.
You have seen over the last few holiday seasons where double standards have been applied. Some places, a menorah can be setup, but not a Christian symbol. Muslim articles can be placed anywhere, but not the Ten Commandments. Public funds must never be utilized for anything religious. We must keep separate State and religion. But a university is using public funds for foot baths for Muslims. Muslims are allowed to have licenses for drivin | | By: Forgot To Ask | | |
