Very true, see it happen everyday on the news.
dont forget memogate.
I have yet to see non-biased news on TV. And forget investigative journalism.
Tim…how about this one…When the media reports on the peaceful Tea Parties, the crowds are “angry” and they “could” turn violent…but when they report on the protests/riots in Arizona where people who want to be American citizens actually started fights and pelted cops with bottles and trash, they were reported as “mostly peaceful”.
Oh yeah, those peaceful Tea Parties where people carry signs talking about how liberalism is a cancer, Obama is Hitler, the tree of liberty is watered with blood, and next time we’ll bring guns. The media can dump on the Tea Parties because they’re the lunatic fringe wet-dream of the John Birch Society. They dump on legitimate protests because giving them a voice would anger the people who pay their salaries.
