More Evidence of Pro-Obama Mainstream Media Bias

Reader Comments

Back to blog

It is unavoidable that any media person would report any stupidity that was

demonstrated by someone who was repeatedly known to be stupid; such as Dan Quayle, W. Bush, Palin, O'Donnell and now a confused and desparate Gingrich. A relatively insignificant representative (Hank Johnson) from a relatively insignificant state does not deserve the same ridicule. Altho he did receive some.

It is also expected that an industry that is made up predominantly of educated, well-traveled writers and commentators would, on average, tend to like a president who was educated and well-traveled.... and tolerant of other ideas as well!

Come on people! The media likes Obama because he is demonstrably likable on the world stage! Get over it. At least until 2016.

Since when has anyone that writes for Fox ever been considered non partisan?.Fox is as biased as any entity could ever be in this world. Also whenever has the media ,Republican Party ,T-Party ,most people on the right given President Obama a pass on any thing since his election? Every thing he does, is according to the right very wrong ,and something to ridicule or complain about.This President gets a minamal pass on nothing as compared to the pass Bush got when he and the neo-cons perpetrated so many lies about the run up to Iraq War and many other bits through out his term.

So, it was a pretty good schtick at first when the media deemed Dan Quayle as the stupidest man alive. Then George W. came and they trotted out the old party line, "Dumb as a box of rocks". Then Palin came and they blew off the dust (surely the dupes in American households will buy this once more, so she was now the most ignorant person in the U.S. Now they are trying to shoehorn this tired label onto O'connell. I am pretty sure that Americans are on to what they are doing by now and are insulted by it.

where he several times said corpes and did not keep the "p" silent. It's hard to criticize the smartest man that ever lived, but this was a embarrassment to all Americans and Cutie Couric and the rest of the mainstream media puppet slime, chose to ignore it.

Obamateurism of the Day

My local grocery store has a section to buy single pieces of fruit for $.25, and I regularly buy bags of "lunch box" apples with at least a dozen pieces of fruit for $3.00.

However, if we're talking about a fruit stand, chances are the prices are going to be higher because grocery stores regularly take a loss on their sale items to get customers to come in, and make up for it by raising the prices on the other items in the store. Unless the fruit is grown close to the stand (and apples grow better in cooler climates than Alabama), shipping costs are going to be added in.

However, as often as the media pointed out Bush's gaffes, it's pretty impressive how often they miss Obama's. You'd think they'd be adept at catching them by now.

That should be the farmers who grow the apples, the truck drivers who transport them, and last, but not least, the poor street vendor who had to suffer the indignity of being short-changed by Teh One.

First, that's the way it was spelled on the card he held from the teacher (which says more about the state of our government controlled education system) and second, it's an acceptable spelling in Britain.

Peter, your article only demonstrates why the media institutions are going the way of the dinosaur. They don't report anymore, they demagogue. The examples of the differences of treatment are staggering. Quite frankly, I have come to expect it, and accept it as reality, that is until the market corrects them out of business. They don't report to the public; they report to each other. They have accepted subterfuge into their morality, and live it in their everyday life.

I personally have resigned to not waste my time debaing ideals where there is no common premise to agree upon.

My case and point: Look at Steve from Illinois. The whole foundation of his argument is: "because I said so."

Liberals are generally jealous angry losers who think that taking money from those who earned it is perfectly acceptable. Apparently their daddies never taught them how to take care of themselves.
