Current Mood: | Extreme example of Liberal bias in News Here is the recent headlines of a Los Angeles Times story on John McCain which got FRONT page treatment: Mishaps mark John McCain's record as naval aviator
Now after reading the article, one who is not willingly suspending disbelief has to ask oneself what was the POINT of this article and why is it on the front page?
Well the answer is obvious; like the New York Times, Washington Post and many other Liberal journals and news programs that are in the tank to get Obama elected; this articles intent was clearly to bring into question John's judgment and temperament.
Once more, it is an example of the desperate desire of the mainstream drive-by media to get Obama elected through fear mongering the economy and printing articles that attempt to impugn McCain's history, his temperament and integrity.
It is offensive and juvenile, but this is why many major Liberal news organizations are struggling to maintain their circulation; people are sick of this kind of one-sided OPINION journalism. Mishaps mark John McCain's record as naval aviator - Los Angeles Times "Three crashes early in his career led Navy officials to question or fault his judgment."

This the media doing their job. That you do not like the fact that McCain is being exposed yet again to his record is not our problem, but this is hardly liberal bias.

Lean: Moderate Gender:  | Re: Extreme example of Liberal bias in News So exactly how many sorties has Barrack Obama commanded?
As if Fox News, that everybody is in such a panic over, would ever come up with something so blatantly biased.
That reminds me. It was Fox News that found out about George Bush's DWI in Texas and broke the story one week before the election in 2000.
