The Worst-Case Economy Reporting Handbook
 

Broadcasts are filled with sob stories about economic woes  of "average Americans." But most of those featured are hardly "average," and there's more to their stories than meets the eye. BMI highlights some of the worst-case scenarios and blame-shifting.

Special Invitation for CPAC 2008 Attendees  

Please visit the Exhibit Hall on Thursday, February 7 at 11:30 a.m.  to meet L. Brent Bozell III, MRC President & Founder and author of the recently published book, "Whitewash: What the Media Won't Tell You About Hillary Clinton, But Conservatives Will." Brent will be there in person to sign your copy of "Whitewash" and to answer your questions about what he and co-author Tim Graham uncover in the pages of their acclaimed book:

Sean Hannity states, "This is the defining book that needed to be written on Hillary Clinton, and anybody who votes in 2008 needs to examine this thoroughly."

Phil Brennan of Newsmax writes, "With this invaluable expose, Brent Bozell has broken through the soft curtain the media has kept between Hillary Clinton and the American people."

If you are planning to attend CPAC 2008, don't miss this chance to meet Brent Bozell in person and get your autographed copy of this fast and fascinating read, "Whitewash: What the Media Won't Tell You About Hillary Clinton, But Conservatives Will."
