MEDIA BIAS? WHAT MEDIA BIAS?

Let’s see now.

Imus says something stupid and he’s driven off the air by Black activists; Jesse Jackson calls New York “Hymie Town” and that anti-Semitic remark has no repercussions for the good “reverend.”

Dan Quayle makes a spelling mistake with potatoes and he is still being ridiculed for it; Barack Obama says he “campaigned hard in all 57 states” and that idiotic remark doesn’t even cause a media ripple.

Larry Craig plays footsies in a men’s room stall and is reviled as a hypocrite (which he is, if the charge is true) and a hue and cry for his resignation from the Senate is heard throughout media land; Jesse Jackson makes adulterous whoopee with a paramour, creates a love child, and yet provides spiritual counsel for former President Bubba (on the propriety of boinking versus fellatio?)

Now we have the man Rush Limbaugh calls “the Breck Girl,” none other than the coiffure-obsessed, $400 a haircut, former senator and former and recently short-listed Obama VP candidate, Johnny Edwards, ...

I see no media bias...

My brother in law is visiting from Minnesota.

He says: “Minnesota Public Radio is extremely fair and unbiased, just like NPR. It's FOX that's extreme.”

“...boy that Cheney...”

“We drove out here (to Montana on 75 mph highways) and never went over 65. Only a few cars passed us. Everyone was driving slowly, this gas thing is KILLING US!” I replied: “We drove to Seattle and back - never were under 80, mostly 83. Lots of cars passed us.” “No they didn't, he replied.”

Happily, he leaves Saturday morning. If he's here on Sunday I might have to it him with a hammer.
