Today show this AM and the media bias

Today show is shameless in promoting media bias during a segment on curing cancer.


TOPICS: Health/Medicine; Society; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: cancertelethon; mediabias
I checked to see if this was posted, hope I'm not duplicating.

Did anyone else see the segment that was plugging the three networks coming together to have a fight against cancer? Half of the promo was used to say that Bush misled the media on the war (citing S.MCClennans new book)and whether or not they were stifled in dealing with the White House. Charlie Gibson was the only one who said differently. Kati Couric felt that she was strongarmed in her questioning. To use the promo on the three networks coming together to fight cancer to diss our President is repugnant to me. I can't stand the main street media, they are souless

I thought everyone was already trying to fight cancer. So the networks weren’t in on it?

main STREAM, not main STREET. Big difference. Nothing Main Street about a bunch of NYers living in a bubble, inside a building on an island with no input from the rest of the world.

From an infectious disease standpoint, the MSM is putting themselves at serious risk of catching something and spreading it rapidly amongst their entire population. But then, that pretty much describes the disease of liberal know-best which has infected and overtaken their midst.

I caught that part of the show too...what really irked me was that Charlie Gibson had the nerve to say that some CONSERVATIVE newspapers don’t print that a person died of CANCER in their obituaries and they needed to come out and not hide cancer deaths from the public. BS! I think the cause of death is up to family members to reveal or not.

Yeah, and why single out ‘conservative’ newspapers for dodging the cancer diagnosis? What is the connection? Does ABC just need to blame somebody so they chose us?

Why don’t they blame the NYT who avoided far, far more cancer labels than everybody else combined for decades?
