More Disgusting Liberal Bias from the MSM
If you read The New York Times long enough, you will get a slanted view of the world that is just a bit to the right of, say, some newspaper in Havana, Cuba, or Pyongyang, North Korea. The Times, once America's preeminent news organ, has become a sloppy propaganda sheet for the far, far left - and it regularly posts utter nonsense or stories made out of whole cloth.
Then again, The Times also gives half the story - especially if the story in any way makes President Bush look good. Once again, this is demonstrated in the story appearing in Tuesday's on-line edition "trumpeting" the US House vote to allow embryonic stem cell research. The House voted for it, says the Times, dealing a blow to President Bush, who has pledged to veto the bill. So, you ask, what's the big deal? Well, the big deal is that the vote in the House falls far, far short of the votes needed to override Bush's veto. So, in effect, the bill is dead. Did the Times mention that? Well, it did...but in a sly way:
House Votes to Reverse Ban on Funding for Stem Cell Research
It doesn't really matter who voted for this crap or why - what matters is that this bill does not have enough votes to override a veto, so it is dead, dead, dead.
The Times neglects to mention that part.

House Votes to Reverse Ban on Funding for Stem Cell Research
WASHINGTON, May 24 - The House of Representatives voted today to ease restrictions on federal financing for embryonic stem cell research, thus setting up a showdown with President Bush, who has vowed to veto the measure because he says it would promote destruction of life.
The 238-to-194 vote in favor, far short of the 290 needed to override a presidential veto, sends the issue to the Senate, where an identical measure is pending. Stem cell research has considerable support in the Senate as well. Its chief sponsor is Senator Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, who heads the Senate subcommittee that controls federal financing for medical research.
Fifty House Republicans broke with President Bush to vote with 187 Democrats and the chamber's sole independent, Bernard Sanders of Vermont, in favor of the bill. Fourteen Democrats joined 180 Republicans in voting against it. The House's action, and the likelihood of approval in the Senate as well, sets the stage for the first veto to be cast by President Bush, who reiterated his opposition this afternoon to the current legislation.
It doesn't really matter who voted for this crap or why - what matters is that this bill does not have enough votes to override a veto, so it is dead, dead, dead.
