The NY Times talked about how unimportant and irrelevant the John Edwards story was to the world. The NY Times talked about how it always proceeds with caution when accusations can harm the lives of people. The NY Times talked about how its lack of coverage of the Edwards story was not a sign of the newspaper being in the liberal tank. But rather, it was cautious and good journalism. Boy, that spinning sure went out of the window pretty quickly when it came to Gov. Palin's pregnant teenage daughter. When it came to Palin's daughter, that story was worth three page one articles! Not one. Not two. But three page one articles!
Similarly, both the newsmedia and newspapers around the country have been blasting stories left and right about how Palin is "conservative" and "ultra-conservative". But the same media never mentions Obama or Biden as being "liberals." Obama's press secretaries Katie Couric and Brian Williams have kept up their barrage of leading questions during interviews that often suggest positive answers when it comes to Obama, while suggesting negative answers when it comes to McCain and Palin.
When Palin was announced as the VP choice for McCain, MSNBC ran under the heading of "Breaking News", "How many houses do McCain and Palin own?"
The media has suggested that Palin shouldn't be running for VP, because that would be a deriliction of her duties as a mother of a down syndrome child. Or that Palin was at fault for having a down syndrome child. Perhaps, the liberals would applaud Palin if she had chosen to abort the child.
I wonder what the media is going to talk about if Obama wins and the Dems take total control of the Senate. Who are they going to criticize, the remaining 30 or so Republican senators? Here's my prediction, something bad is going to happen in Iraq in 2010, and the media is going to say, "oh, that was all President Bush's fault."
