CyberAlert fo Thursday November 04, 2010

A daily compilation edited by Brent H. Baker, CyberAlert items are drawn from daily BiasAlert posts and distributed by the Media Research Center's News Analysis Division, the leader since 1987 in documenting, exposing and neutralizing liberal media bias.MRC Alert: NYT's Kate Zernike Thinks Tea Party Blew Greater Gains By Fostering 'Concerns of...Extremism' Tracking Liberal Media Bias Since 1996
Thursday November 04, 2010 @ 10:33 AM EDT

1. NYT's Kate Zernike Thinks Tea Party Blew Greater Gains By Fostering 'Concerns of...Extremism'

The New York Times' Tea Party reporter went to great lengths to argue that the public is not on their side on taxes, spending, or Obama-care: "While Tea Party energy powered some victories, concerns about Tea Party extremism also cost them what could have been easy gains....And just as Tea Party supporters do not always agree on what the agenda is, most Americans disagree with many of the goals proclaimed by Tea Party candidates."

2. CBS's Rodriguez: Will Tea Party Drive Out GOP Moderates or 'Fade Away'?

On Wednesday's CBS Early Show, co-host Maggie Rodriguez painted a grim picture of the future of the tea party: "...they could either stay in the Republican Party and the more moderate Republicans will either have to adjust or maybe do what Charlie Crist did down in Florida and become independents or the tea party could become its own political party or the tea party could just fade away." She made the assessment while discussing the midterm election results with political analyst John Dickerson, who responded: "Well, I think that we can agree the latter is not going to happen, they are incredibly energized. Last night's results make the tea party a real force."

3. George Stephanopoulos Hits Rand Paul: You Willing to be a One-Term Senator?

Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday used a post-election interview to harangue Rand Paul as to whether the newly elected was willing to be a "one-termer" in pursuit of spending cuts. Stephanopoulos pressed, "So, even if it means you're going to be a one-term senator, you're willing to say, we're going to cut Medicare. We are going to cut Social Security in order to balance the budget?" The GMA host tried to stir up trouble, questioning, "If that means taking on your party's own leaders, are you going to do it?"

4. Matt Lauer: Senator-Elect Rand Paul Bringing Anger to Washington

NBC's Matt Lauer characterized Kentucky Senator-Elect Rand Paul's victory as a "wave of anger and energy" on Wednesday's Today show. Lauer asked the Tea Party candidate, "We know you can win an election with anger- can you govern in Washington with anger?" The anchor conducted a short interview of the Kentucky Republican nine minutes into the 7 am Eastern hour. Lauer led with his stereotype of Tea Party/conservative voters: "You rode a wave of anger and energy to Washington." He then asked his question about winning and governing with "anger."

5. Dan Rather on MSNBC: Mitch McConnell 'Wants to Cut Out Obama's Heart and Feed His Liver to the Dogs'

During live MSNBC coverage leading up to President Obama's Wednesday 1PM ET press conference, former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather urged the President to aggressively take on Republicans in the wake of the midterm elections: "[Obama] has to realize that Mitch McConnell has virtually said so that politically he wants to cut out his heart and throw his liver to the dogs." Rather declared that the President should "take the Harry Truman, who lost big in1946 and said 'I'm going to fight them. I'm going to fight them.'...He has to be a fighter."

6. CBS's Smith Frets Over 'No Compromise' Republicans Who Will 'Dismantle Health Care'

In an interview with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday's Early Show, co-host Harry Smith lamented possible gridlock following big Republican electoral gains: "...will there be that old-fashioned word we used to use once in a while, comity?...the Republicans say over and over and over again for the last two months, no compromise, no compromise, no compromise." Reid responded by claiming he was all about compromise: "I'm a consensus builder, that's what my reputation is, I'm going to continue to do that....legislation is the art of compromise, consensus building. And I don't see why in the world we can't do that."

7. ABC Election Night: Admiring Nancy Pelosi; Claiming GOP Split on Taxes, ObamaCare and Stimulus

Shortly after ABC News projected the GOP House takeover, co-anchors George Stephanopoulos and Diane Sawyer, plus Democratic contributor Donna Brazile, waxed effusive of Nancy Pelosi, the object of so many voters’ ire. "President Obama called her a rock, the rock for the White House," Sawyer enthused. "She has been a phenomenal Speaker," Brazile championed. "I'm very sad." Earlier, contributor Matthew Dowd tried to suggest Republicans were fractured on issues such as the stimulus, repealing ObamaCare, and opposing a tax hike. "They're going to have some problems," Dowd warned.

8. Wash Post's Milbank Trashes Fox News 'Victory Party,' Ignores MSNBC's DNC Echoes

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank attacked Fox News in Wednesday's paper for having a Republican "victory party" on air on Election Night. No where in this piece did he acknowledge his routine appearances on MSNBC, and whether it had a partisan sound on Election Night (and every other weeknight). He also avoided the idea that NBC-Universal was helpfully doling out large chunks of air time for Barack Obama this fall to stave off Democrat losses. His column began: "At Rupert Murdoch's cable network, the entity that birthed and nurtured the Tea Party movement, Election Day was the culmination of two years of hard work to bring down Barack Obama - and it was time for an on-air celebration of a job well done...."

9. Brian Williams Bizarrely Fixates on Portrait of Bill Clinton During Obama Speech

Nightly News host Brian Williams on Wednesday oddly obsessed over a portrait of Bill Clinton that could barely be seen in the background as Barack Obama finished his post-election press conference. CBS's Katie Couric saw "fighting words" in a call for smaller government by the soon-to-be Speaker John Boehner.

Thursday's top stories on MarylandReporter.com 11/4

Watching voters try to save the world: Election Day through the eyes of an election judge
“Did you save the world?” I asked some of the voters who arrived during the first hour of voting on Election Day randomly as they dropped off the smart cards on which Montgomery County’s voting system encodes a voter’s electronic ballot for the touch screen booths.

“I tried,” or “I did my best,” some replied with a laugh as I handed them an “I Voted” sticker and wished them a good day at the office. Those well wishes set the tone for the rest of my 15-hour day as one of a dozen election judges manning one of the polling sites in Takoma Park.

Analyzing the election in today's State Roundup

O'Malley to meet with Cabinet, says no to tax hikes but yes to budget cuts; Ehrlich had a surprisingly poor showing in home county; who staged the robocall?; state Sen. Mooney won't concede to Ron Young, citing absentee ballots; Kamenetz seeks smooth transition; temporary slots tent welcomed while racing could be slashed; constitutional convention a no-go and a slew of views on the red and the blue of Tuesday's elections.

Washington Examiner: K-Street readies for Tea Party candidates, House GOP claims mandate

Timothy P. Carney - GOP's K Street wing ready for insurgent challenge

The insurgent conservative Republicans and Tea Party candidates elected Tuesday are obviously a pugnacious and determined bunch, but they're not the only ones fixing for a battle over the direction of the party. The Republican Beltway establishment and the K Street wing of the GOP are ready to fight any effort to end pork-barrel spending and kill corporate welfare.The first fight will come mid-November, when the newly elected senators join returning senators to set party rules for the next two years.

Susan Ferrechio - House GOP claims voter mandate to limit government, taxes

Topping Republicans' to-do list is the repeal of President Obama's landmark health care reforms, which proved unpopular with the public and which Republicans portrayed as an unwarranted and expensive expansion of government.
Appearing at a Capitol news conference still flush from his party's historic election gains, House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, now the House speaker designate, told reporters the GOP would begin to lay the groundwork "to repeal this monstrosity and replace it with common sense reforms that will bring down the cost of health insurance in America."

Hayley Peterson - Obama says 'shellacking' in election not a rejection of his agenda

The president accepted some of the blame for Democrats' historic losses at the polls, when Republicans took control of the House and increased the size of their Senate minority. He said he is "doing a whole lot of reflecting" on what the election meant for him, Democrats and their shared agenda.But Obama rejected Republican claims that the election proved the public opposes the president's initiatives, including health care reform.

Mark Hemingway - You know who was a big loser in this election? George Soros

While Democrats went out of their way to portray the Koch brothers as evil billionaires puppeteering this election, I’d venture they feel pretty good about the outcome. However, after last night I’d venture that that George Soros is one unhappy Hungarian.

Timothy P. Carney - Republicans made almost no incursions into Democratic turf

The pickups made by Republicans were mostly “snap-backs” (winning back seats the GOP had lost in 2006 or 2008), or continuations of the ongoing realignment in the countryside and the South (winning seats that McCain and Bush both won). A full list of the turnover seats follows.

Explore Carroll
By Kevin Dayhoff

John C. Schaeffer, 82, of Westminster, a respected country banker and distinguished community leader, died Sunday Oct. 31, at Gilchrist ...

[...]

He had a 50-year career in banking, which saw him rise from the position of a teller at the Union Mills Savings Bank to president of Westminster Bank and Trust Company.

The merger of Westminster Deposit and Trust Company and Union Mills Savings Bank on July 9, 1951, gave Schaeffer the opportunity to work-up the ladder of leadership in the newly formed Westminster Bank and Trust Company.

When he became president of the bank in 1969, he was the youngest to hold that position at that time in the State of Maryland. It was during his tenure that the bank merged with Woodbine National Bank in 1980 and later became affiliated with Mercantile Bankshares Corporation. He then served as chairman of the board; retired from active management in 1990 and remained on the board until 1999.

Schaeffer was active in the community. He was a member of the Kiwanis Club of Westminster... http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/4905/john-c-schaeffer-distinguisher-banker-community-leader-82-westminster/

Boehner Remarks at Media Avail with Republican Whip Eric Cantor

WASHINGTON, DC -- House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) made the following remarks during a media spray held prior to a meeting with Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA):

“We’re humbled by the trust that the American people have placed in us. As I said last night, our job is to listen to the American people and follow the will of the American people. It’s pretty clear the American people want us to do something about cutting spending here in Washington and helping to create an environment where we get jobs back in our country. We’ve got a big job ahead of us. That’s why you will see us roll up our sleeves and go to work today.”

Carroll County Election 2010 Candidates

[Good article for your files – delineates much of the who, what, where and when of the candidates for office in Carroll County… http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/4901/carroll-county-election-2010-candidates/]

http://www.scribd.com/doc/40816895/General-election-certain-to-bring-change-for-Carroll-County-MD

After a campaign season that seemed to begin almost after the last one ended, today's the day Maryland voters will go to the polls and select a governor and a host of local elected officials in Carroll County.

Regardless of who wins, the county will see significant change, with five new faces on the Board of County Commissioners and at least one new face in the State Senate and House in the 5th District.

The commissioners' race will carry with it the most sweeping change in local government in decades.

In addition to the expansion of the commissioner board from three seats to five, the members will all be elected by district -- not from the county overall. Plus, there will be no incumbents.

No ballots cast on election day will result in a wider impact on the day-to-day lives of county residents than votes cast for Board of County Commissioners. The next board will tackle issues including an expanded sheriff's office or a county police force, whether to build a waste-to-energy incineration plant with Frederick County, the county's land-use master plan update and more.
