And delivering endless years of fake news:

It was an unorthodox political endorsement, to be sure. And in throwing her support behind presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with an unprompted, heartfelt speech at a New Hampshire rally last month, Carole Simpson, the longtime ABC news anchor-turned-Emerson College journalism instructor, flung herself into the partisan fires.
While Clinton was quite taken by the unexpected backing, quickly issuing a press release touting it, others have taken offense. Over the past month, news of Simpson's endorsement has barreled across the blogosphere, seized on by conservatives as proof of liberal media bias. And Emerson students and faculty continue to debate the ethics of a journalism instructor and well-known former reporter making a public show of support for a political candidate.

What ranks as a bigger surprise shock?
Rice is white, water is wet, fire is hot, or the press is liberal?
She slobbered on air over Bill for years.
She merely reveals the fact that was already known to anyone of sense, that she is a biased leftist hack. It’s a free country, she can endorse anyone she wants to endorse, the question is how she is representative of zillions of current and former MSM hacks who are lib through and through but pretend they are objective, unbiased experts on everything.
We’ve seen similar things with Dan BLather, Helen Thomas, and many other MSM types who display their real ultra-left tendencies the moment they think they no longer need keep up the pretence of objectivity and impartiality. News reporters (as opposed to opinion columnists) should be like referees, striving as much as humanly possible to report all facts and issues without bias or favor. In reality, of course 90+% of the MSM is strongly liberal to far left, and it shows in the stories they choose to report and how they describe them.
I don’t know - I’m thinking this is another Hillary plant.
Besides, isn’t favoring liberal candidates a requirement for working at a college?
In another story, researchers at the National Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management are reporting that bear droppings (or “scat”) have been found on public lands in many regions of the country.
You win this thread
IIRC, Simpson was the Oprah stand-in who “moderated” the touchy-feely, Pony-tail guy debate that basically destroyed George H. W. Bush’s reelection bid versus Bill Clinton and Ross Perot. She later described herself as having taken up journalism, “to make a difference”. She was a shill then, and she’s still shilling today.
At least, not since getting married.
I’m shocked, just shocked. Who would’ve ever guessed? Reporters are liberal, bears sh** in the woods.
Remember this day friend.
Is it perhaps possible that those public lands are arboreally-enriched?
Indeed. I believe that, in many cases, bear waste matter was discovered in close proximity to tall, shade-giving, cellulosic fauna bearing flat or needle-shaped appendages, often exhibiting high concentrations of chlorophyll.
Carole Simpson was worthless political hack during her whole tenure at ABC.
Why should she change now?
She was a pig back in the 92 debate also.
They own the networks news departments; republicans should make legal threats to get some diversity.

I no longer am interested in highlighting media BIAS, I now point to clear instances of media COLLUSION with DNC staffers. News stories that come FROM the Party.
Bada Ping!
