Hmmmm, a story about media (NY Slimes) bias. Who Knew!!???
Treating almost identical stories differently depending on the party of the target is but one of many ways that liberal media bias manifests itself.
Recently the Atlanta Journal-Constitution admitted it gave much more prominence to the Pat Robertson story (front page) compared to the Hillary Clinton and Ray Nagin stories (back pages) where all 3 basically said stupid things in public:
"When Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said two weeks ago that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was God's punishment for "dividing his land," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a front-page story. Yet when Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin made inflammatory remarks during separate King Week observances this week, the AJC carried those stories inside the main news section.
Some readers were right to question this juxtaposition and AJC editors agree now that we probably overplayed Robertson's statements."
The AJC overplayed Robertson's statements because they have a liberal bias, plain and simple.
Actually, you could have saved yourself the trouble. If the guy in question is in the artcle for a negative reason, and party affiliation is not mentioned, you can take it to the bank that he's a 'rat.
[Yet any objective study of comparative party corruption would have to conclude that Democrats are far more likely to be caught engaging in it than Republicans. For example, a review of misconduct cases in the House of Representatives since Watergate shows many more cases involving Democrats than Republicans.]
Absoulutely; nevertheless, it is an unfortunate fact that a third of Americans aren't aware of the facts.
