What Media Bias? Part 135

From Newsbusters:

In a Fox News Sunday panel segment on the media’s pro-Obama and anti-McCain bias, Juan Williams revealed journalists were in such a swoon for Barack Obama that during the primaries “what you saw was that the executive editors and the top people at the networks were all rushing to Obama events, bringing their children, celebrating it, saying they were, there’s this part of history.” Though Williams, a former Washington Post reporter who is now a NPR news analyst and regular analyst for Fox News, maintained “there’s no question in my mind the media has been more supportive of Senator Obama…”

Its not the MSM bias which really bothers us – its the dishonesty in their claim to be unbiased which chaps our hide. If the MSMers would just come out and say, “we’re liberals and we’re going to report the news from a liberal point of view”, we’d stop writing about media bias. The MSM doesn’t do this, of course, because they have always been afraid of losing market share – of course, they are losing it massively these days, anyways. So, maybe now its time they’ll just fess up and thus allow overtly conservative media to rise up in competition?
