I’m Tired Of The Birther Nonsense But The MSM & Left Can’t Get Enough Of It
Friday, July 31st, 2009Why are so many in the media touting a stupid Kos poll*? Could it be…..Journolist?
*Hint: It’s not the Right leaning media promoting this theory. Oh wait, I remember, try to discredit critics of your policies by painting the opposition with the “crazy” brush.
If Bush Had An Economy This Horrible Would He Get This Headline?–UPDATED
Friday, July 31st, 2009From the New York Times, this headline: “U.S. Economy Shrank Less Than Expected in Quarter”.
Here is the content of the article: Things are so much better than expected, blah, blah, blah. Economists agree, blah, blah, blah. Advisers close to President Obama are cautiously optimistic blah, blah, blah, and tout the government policies, blah, blah, blah.
There, now you don’t have to read it.
Oh, and here is a sample of the headline, if the President’s name was George W. Bush: U.S. Depression II Continues As Economy Shrank Again In Last Quarter.
I suggest you come up with your own.
UPDATED: Woo Hoo!
Positive Press Coverage For Obama: It’s Good To Be The King
Monday, April 27th, 2009Howard Kurtz detail more media bias and the insider access afforded the elite few. And those few love President Obama, especially the New York Times:
The networks have given President Obama more coverage than George W. Bush and Bill Clinton combined in their first months — and more positive assessments to boot.
In a study to be released today, the Center for Media and Public Affairs and Chapman University found the nightly newscasts devoting nearly 28 hours to Obama’s presidency in the first 50 days. (Bush, by contrast, got nearly eight hours.) Fifty-eight percent of the evaluations of Obama were positive on the ABC, CBS and NBC broadcasts, compared with 33 percent positive in the comparable period of Bush’s tenure and 44 percent positive for Clinton. (Evaluations by officials from the administration or either political party were not counted.)
On Fox News, by contrast, only 13 percent of the assessments of Obama were positive on the first half of Bret Baier’s “Special Report,” which most resembles a newscast. The president got far better treatment in the New York Times, where 73 percent of the assessments in front-page pieces were positive.
It’s good to be the king. And the press isn’t even owned by the state.
