Liberal Media Bias Example #9,432,655
For all of you liberals who still, amazingly, assert that the media tilt to the right, try this on for size. From the Media Research Center today comes this:
What a difference the target makes. Five years ago, when George Stephanopoulos wrote a book with critical insider accounts of President Clinton’s White House, NBC’s Katie Couric asserted the book “has many wondering whether he’s a traitor or man of integrity,” stressed how “a lot of people” see Stephanopoulos’ book as “creepy” and she told him that they view him “as a turncoat, a Linda Tripp type.” She was also upset by the timing: “Why now George? Couldn’t this have waited until the President was out of office?” But this week, in introducing a segment with Paul O’Neill, Couric wasn’t upset that O’Neill issued his charges in an election year as she recalled how “President Bush once praised Secretary O’Neill for his candor. He was called a straight shooter,” but “today O’Neill is under investigation for a tell-all book that raises serious questions about the Bush administration.”
Gee, Katie. What’s up with that? I’ll tell you what’s up with that. The media, with the notable exception of Fox News are absolutely, completely and totally a bunch of worthless liberals who couldn’t report the truth if it bit them in the ass.
