Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 4:18PM As the 2008 campaigns got underway with Sen. John McCain running his “nice” strategy against a vicious, well-funded liberal media machine, I often ranted about media bias. I also remarked more than once how uniform the coverage seemed to be.
I'm seeing uniformity now ahead of 2012.
Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 10:18AM Elite media goes to great pains to vet Republicans—outlets like Politico have delved two decades in the past to examine aspects of GOP presidential candidates’ records.
A potential president should be vetted, in the interest of knowing what made the world’s most powerful leader’s head.
That same elite media has not, however, vetted President Barack Obama.

As the video shows, Obama has often joked about his birth certificate as he did during the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2010. Obama was received with raucous applause and enthusiasm by the press, most of whose members actively lobbied to get him elected.
A story brewing about Herman Cain and another story about Texas Gov. Rick Perry have nothing to do with each other except for the fact both stories continue a longstanding tradition by Democrat-allied media.
I keep telling conservatives we’re not only battling the leftwing, we’re battling a powerful media machine that has run interference for Democrats all my life.

This poll, however, isn't exactly transparent.
Friday, October 28, 2011 at 8:54AM You really can’t trust Legacy Media. There is no question long time media brands played a key role in electing Democrats’ absolute majorities in the US House and Senate in 2006 and the White House in 2008.
Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 9:49AM First the White House went after Fox News, making the dangerous accusation the network wasn’t a legitimate news gatherer. That accusation is common among leftwingers, but everyone knows Fox is no more biased than any other major media outlet.
Everyone knows progressives let The Washington Post slide on what will one day be seen for what it was—the Journolist scandal that should have been investigated by the US Dept. of Justice. Large numbers of writers from different publishers don’t usually collude to impact a federal election.
Friday, August 13, 2010 at 5:30PM Leftwing bloggers are some of the most conflicted angst-filled people on the face of the earth. Don't believe me? Pick a leftwing blog and go read. It won't take you long to see what I'm talking about.
The Daily Caller's Jonathan Strong writes about Journolister Matt Yglesias' exchange with conservative writers on Twitter. Apparently Yglesias thinks it's okay to fudge the statistics if you're justifying a political position like high speed rail.
Yglesias reportedly said, “Fighting dishonesty with dishonesty is sometimes the right thing for advocates to do, yes.”
Yglesias now blogs for the Center for American Progress, a think tank that claims to be nonpartisan.
In my opinion, that's sort of like my hound dog claiming to be a poodle, but a think tank is entitled to describe its mission as it pleases.
Yglesias also displayed the anger I've witnessed when trying to talk rationally with politicos who think like he does. He dropped the F-bomb and hung up.
Journolist was a group of people who claimed to be reporters, bloggers, political operatives and others who in my opinion just wanted then Sen. Barack Obama to be president.
The group communicated on a listserv, talking about shaping the political narrative during the 2008 presidential elections.
The Daily Caller broke the Journolist story and government-allied media refuse to even talk about it. Makes them a little bit uncomfortable I suppose.
At any rate, tell your mom, dad, neighbors and hound dog you really can't trust high profile media brands anymore (not that you ever really could, considering what President John F. Kennedy pulled off.)
The left screams about Fox News for that very reason. It's the one cable network they can't control. And standards, for statists, aren't a problem. You want something accomplished, all you have to do is lie.
I repeatedly told my readers during the 2008 elections media was biased and would never give a GOP candidate a fair shake. I was right and I like saying that over and over just so you don't forget.
