Folks, go read about a guy in India named Nicolas Almeida. Almeida is a Catholic who recently placed a bounty on the life of the author of 'The Da Vinci Code' - which is exactly the same thing Khomeini did to Salman Rushdie.

Notice how there has been almost ZERO coverage of Almeida's extremism by the media.

Then tell me if you think it's fair that the media hasn't covered this nearly as much as they covered Khomeini's incident.

I really do think it's time we expand the Fairness Doctrine to newspapers.

One was a national leader, one is an average joe. Bit of a difference.

I'd hate to disappoint you, but Nicolas Almeida is a very important Mumbai politician.

So why the media double standard?
