Dear friends:
Here is a blatant example of U.S. left-wing media bias, described by Newsmax.com. By the way, congratulations and g'day to our dear Aussie readers down under.

Media Downplays Iraq War Ally John Howard's Re-election
Australian Prime Minister John Howard, one of the staunchest U.S. allies in the war in Iraq, won re-election by a convincing margin on Saturday, despite what the Associated Press called "widespread public disagreement" with Howard's position on the war.
Still, while it was a significant triumph for a politician who stood by the U.S. when the going got tough, Sunday's Washington Post buried news of Howard's victory on page A34, where only the most tireless reader was likely to find it.
The New York Times didn't do much better, tucking news of Howard's re-election at the end of Sunday's International section on page A16, right after a report on the locust infestation in Senegal.
Contrast the light coverage that Prime Minister Howard's win got with the splash reporters gave to news of an Iraq war ally who was voted out of office.
Last March, when Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero defeated Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar on the promise to withdraw troops from Iraq in the wake of the Madrid train bombings, the New York Times churned out no fewer than four front page stories.
The Washington Post followed suit.
Downplaying Howard's win on Sunday did give the Post a little extra room to cover bad news from Iraq. Somehow reporter Steve Fainaru managed to dig up four Marines who complained that the war wasn't going well.
The Post put that story on Sunday's front page.
The below is being automatically appended to every message: Now online, free to be read by all -- the awesome 220-page book, THE POWER! (by me). Don't miss it. Many exciting and detailed examples of dramatic miracles and healings and the power behind the universe.
