Media Bias: The charade ended long ago in regard to the dominant media's "objectivity." Tuesday's love letter to President Obama from the chairman of the Associated Press just confirms the obvious.

The only thing separating AP Chairman and newspaper mogul Dean Singleton's gushing introduction of President Obama to an Associated Press luncheon in a fancy Washington hotel from an Obama 2012 campaign rally was the absence of the line, "and now the next president of the United States."

Yeah. My first thought exactly.
That’s just IBD up to their monkeyshines again.

Do you think it helps our cause to equate a black man with an ape.

As many here have noticed, I've long since stopped referring to "the mainstream media" since they long ago stopped even trying to hide their bias: Plain and simple, they are now the "ministry of propaganda."

Did you read the article before posting?

Webster's dictionary:

ape
verb
transitive verb
: to copy closely but often clumsily and ineptly

Not sure of your meaning. IBD is as conservative a newspaper as you`re going to see out there. They offer up liberal columnists to round out both sides of an argument, but the orientation of the IBD is definitely on the right side of the political center.

At least they didn't call it a chimp-out.
