Media Bias Of The Day
President Obama (via Anita Dunn and David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs) issued his definition of objective journalism. The assessment was that Fox News was to be shunned as they are an arm of the Republican Party. If that’s the case, one would think the media would be very careful to distance themselves from politicians so the sentiments from both, at least, appeared objective.
MRC President Brent Bozell sent out an internal email earlier today which I declined to share, but now that Seton Motley has posted it, I will…
Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine issued a statement on last night’s election results. The similarities between the DNC Chair’s words and CBS’s Katie Couric’s October 27 Award winning comments are striking.
Okay, guess who said what…
“… The Republican candidate (for NY-23), a moderate, was purged from the Republican Party by the most extreme elements of the conservative right wing including Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck…. What occurred in New York has exposed a war within the Republican Party that will not soon end…. The all out war between Republicans and the far right wing is a disaster for the Republican Party and will dog it well after today.”
“There’s growing concern among some GOP leaders that controversial commentators and far-right conservatives have hijacked the message. People like Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin appeal to the base… (but) you can’t win with just the base…. Before the 2010 midterm elections roll around, Republicans need to get the focus back onto the Big Tent where all are welcome – and off the sideshows that are popping up along the party’s fringe.”
Check out Seton’s post for the shocking answers.

That’s not bias. Couric is actively working to sabotage both the Republican party and the Conservatives. This is an example of an ongoing perversion of “journalistic integrity”, much like the regressive agenda in general:
selective science, mortal theology, piecemeal ethics, and relative morality.
A progressive liberal, an oxymoron by God’s and nature’s design.

“The birds and the bees”
So simple even a progressive can understand it.
Sorry… Wrong thread.
Hmm… A moderate in conservative’s clothing? It takes two to compromise. The moderates, by definition, will continue to follow the prevailing winds. Unfortunately, so far, the wind has blown left, at least according to the media — we know better now.
