I’ve managed to get hold of a typical Melanie Phillips blog entry before it got subbed. Here ya go:
Love him or hate him, we all remember how the press went to great lengths to find out every move that President Bush made ... finally unable to come up with anything factual, so they created it! When their accusations were proven empty, they refused to retract one word of the fraud they perpetrated on the American people.
Dan Rather lost his job over fraudulent documents, because common people like you & me reached out and ripped CBS to pieces. They couldn't stand the loss of sponsors OR viewers!
The same Media went to great lengths to scandalize & destroy Sarah Palin. She maintains a 91% approval rating among voters from all parties, thanks to the Internet and investigative journalists who don't work for the mainstream media.
NOW ------- The Supreme Court has scheduled a Conference for Dec 5th about Obama's U. S. Citizenship. STILL, not a word about any of this from the Media. If it were not for the Internet and talk radio, American citizens would become the servants of a dishonest & conspiratorial Media.
THINK ABOUT IT. IT DIDN'T USED TO BE THIS WAY! How much longer are we going to sit on our hands & say not a word?
AND DON'T THINK THE MEDIA SIMPLY DOESN'T KNOW - THEY ARE GETTING POUNDED WITH EMAILS ABOUT IT!!!

Oh no, tell a lie: It was the chap who shot up the Holocaust memorial museum in Washington DC. Via.
All caps FTW.
I don't think this kind of paranoid hysterical gibberish translates too well from the USA to UK.
After a quick read of her Wikipedia entry I see she went from Guardian editor during the 80s to American style right wing crazy in the 1990s.
It says her husband used to work as a BBC correspondent before moving on to the Torygraph.
Obviously couldn't stomach the lies anymore.
Take that liberal media!

Well, "a stint as the paper's news editor" which is not quite the same thing.
I do like the Sappho Prize business.

I feel like pasting that into a few comment threads and seeing who agrees. Could be illuminating. Not that I'd suggest anyone else does it, obviously.

This is going to be a good response to all those cheerleaders who cite the Unabomber manifesto and say "you lefties agree with this and therefore are all trrists".
