What does it tell you when the room set aside for reporters to watch Tuesday night's presidential debate erupted into raucous applause after President Barack Obama made a mockery of Mitt Romney's personal wealth?
What does it tell you when Candy Crowley, CNN's chief Washington correspondent and the debate's moderator, crossed the line and told Romney he was wrong when in fact he was right -- that Obama didn't mention "terrorism" as the reason for the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya until two weeks later?
It tells you the media in the United States, like Crowley, is up to its sanctimonious neck in pro-liberal bias.
If it wasn't for the Washington Times, no one else in that reporters' room likely even noticed their own applause, proving just how steeped they are in their liberal ideologies.
What? We were clapping?
What does it tell you then when Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogues Parliament for legitimate and well-stated reasons and gets viciously attacked in the media, yet Ontario's Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty gets no grief whatsoever for pulling the same stunt, without explanation and without legitimacy?
It tells you the same thing. It tells you Canada's media -- covering both houses of government, and almost regardless of province -- are up to their own sanctimonious necks in pro-liberal bias.
Unlike Harper, McGuinty wasn't trying to dodge an unholy coalition alliance of Liberals, NDPers and Bloc Quebecois forming a government that would bury the country in debt. He was avoiding a motherlode of scandals, contempt charges, and billion-dollar wastes which had run out of excuses and timelines.
So he took the coward's way out.
He turned his tail and ran, using his unexpected resignation as premier as a smoke screen to the prorogation.
This led to the majority of the media in Ontario writing stories of McGuinty's so-called legacy, too many unctuously positive, and let him get away like a bandit with the prorogation of Ontario's government, now dead in the water until at least springtime.
Then, as a followup, what does our media do?
It touts McGuinty as a serious contender for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada.
It's beyond disgraceful.
Did all the Germans in the 1930s hate the Jews? I don’t think so. So why was there so little interference when the Nazis started abusing and killing the Jews? I think it was because the German people, like the liberal media, bought into the notion of “for the greater good”. Yes, the National Socialists lied and stole and killed, but it was only because they really wanted a utopia in Germany. The liberal media knows that the liberals lie and steal and get people killed, but they reason it away by telling themselves that the liberals are doing it “for the greater good”. And so they march happily to hell allowing the liberals to get away with it.
Canada Ping!
It’s beyond disgraceful.
Bump and ping.
Our press is biased in favor our elites - and their utopian dreams.
Somehow journalism schools have got to teach kids that they're job is to report reality - not function as cheerleaders for the culturally in group... whichever group it might be...
