Coverage of Olympics, North Korea and Trump budget show national media’s liberal bias
Las Vegas Review-Journal ^ | 2/13/2018 | Victor Joecks

The past five days show why conservatives are right to loathe the liberal bias of the national mainstream media.

It started with the Olympics. Vice President Mike Pence was in South Korea for the opening ceremonies, which Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean dictator Kim Jong un, also attended. Her presence triggered swooning from liberal outlets.

“Kim Jong-un’s sister turns on the charm, taking Pence’s spotlight,” declared a New York Times headline. That charm consisted of her “sphinx-like smile” and “the sprinkle of freckles on her cheeks.” The Washington Post said people “marveled at her barely there makeup” and that “the cameras zoomed in on her high cheekbones and fine ears.”

If a reporter wrote something this creepily detailed about a Hollywood starlet, she’d file a restraining order.

“Liberal” is an odd appellation to assign to neo-Bolsheviks.

The media is just sad because they cant slobber over the first ladies fashion choices that were pieced together from scraps from underneath the dumpsters behind K-Mart the day after Halloween anymore.

I posted on another thread...

Was really surprised to see the blatant praising of North Korea. Not that I’m watching, but I overheard it all as my wife was watching...

The olympics are a PC fest for decades, absolutely despise the whole thing. Bankrupts every city they go to, they cheat and lie, there is bribery and scandal, the stories are all fake and phoney and PC.

Sadly, it completely ruins the entire point of the olympics...the athletes and their sport!!

They ruined Football recently using the same blueprint.

They can go live and work for North Korea and trade spots with the NK prisoners and defectors seeking asylum.
