politico's lead story this morning

can you deny it?

If you thought President Obama was outraged after the Senate killed the plan to expand background checks on guns, you should have seen some members of the press.

Even by the standards of today’s partisan media environment, the response has been noteworthy. Television hosts, editorial boards, and even some reporters have aggressively criticized and shamed the 46 Senators who opposed the plan, while some have even taken to actively soliciting the public to contact them directly.

The decision by some members of the media to come down so firmly on one side of a policy debate has only served to reinforce conservatives’ longstanding suspicions that the mainstream media has a deep-seated liberal bias.

Gun debate triggered media bias - Dylan Byers - POLITICO.com

politico, print partner of msnbc, points out that "there is little evidence that the manchin-toomey plan could prevent another aurora or newtown---a fact many reports glossed over"

roger simon's professional leftists and journolisters quoted the very author of the awb herself, difi, who on harry reid's expensive blue carpet said that universal background checks, while “very important… would not have prevented the tragedy in newtown”

yesterday obama ranted that the 46 senators who opposed him couldn't offer him any good reasons...

he can't hear difi?

he can't hear politico?

obama, despite the size of those ears, is deaf

he's such a know-it-all, always lecturing

no one likes a know it all, especially one who loses

meanwhile, piers morgan merits singular attention this morning, devoting hour after hour, ranting and insulting, bullying and interrupting, stacking his audience to cheer and jeer (he was hysterical)

coffee joe and mika today published their "46 faces of cowardice," as if they might somehow will to life that which is clearly dead and gone

the ny times, huffpo, the ny daily are next called out by simon's libs for wanting gun legislation so bad they let outright advocacy replace whatever mere reportage they might have forgot they were doing

when it comes to gay marriage, global warming, immigration and guns, our socially liberal friends in the media just can't hide themselves

cuz you gotta be pretty out there if even politico notices

but you can't really blame the stephanopoli and stahls and wolfs, et al

they just want it so bad, they can't help themselves
 
this post belongs in bias in the media, i made a mistake

i'm sorry, the prof
 
The majority of the U.S. Senate voted to uphold the Constitution and to uphold the oath they took to defend the Constitution.

President Obama as usual has violated the oath he took and said this is only round one and will ignore Congress and the Constitution and the liberal MSM are outraged that Senators would take their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution seriously.
