Here is the biased headline of the day. North Carolina local TV station WNCN-17 in Raleigh posted an article about Democrat Rep. Bob Etheridge’s attack on two college students attempting to interview him on whether he fully supports Obama’s agenda. Even though it was Etheridge who was aggressive toward the students, hitting their camera and grabbing one of the interviewers by the wrist and by the neck, the headline says it is Etheridge who is being “attacked!” I guess it is clear where their sympathies lie.

They really have been a hoot. WaPo and Gawker are two of the worst offenders. Just type in his name into Google News and read all of the headlines.
Etheridge needs to be jailed for assault.
his competition: http://www.reneeforcongress.com/
That’s hilarious!!!
If he was the one who was attacked (Yes, I’ve seen the video), then why did he apologize? Just asking...
One more reason why I don’t watch that station.
Is this a close race?
I don’t know. This should tip even a non-close race.
They changed the headline....lol. I guess the editor decided they couldn’t get away with such blatantly incorrect headline...lol.
Etheridge was confronted.
The student was attacked.
NEW HEADLINE on article reads: NC Congressman Takes Heat Over Internet Video
close race? not any more.
Well, he IS being attacked for attacking the journalists, isn’t he?
It is misleading, though, to say the least.
Mr. Etheridge himself actually behaved very honorably in his apology today. I couldn’t believe it - he took responsibility, sounded very humble, and said he even wanted to apologize personally to the kid with whom he had the confrontation!
Seriously, it is hard to believe this guy is a dem. He’ll probably be thrown out of the party now that he did something that was so decent in nature.
Of course. Anyone knows if you ask a dimbulb a question, it’s considered an attack.
Remember Joe the Plumber and Obummers reaction.
Funny how repentant one can be when they’re caught dead to rights.
He was atacked by anti-commie hate words so he had no choice but to comit assult. He’ll get away with it. No one will be pressing charges.
You thought that this bullying drunken scumbag acknowledging the undenible in a transparent and futile effort to rehabilitate his sorry self and somehow miraculously hold his job as Destroyer of America was somehow “honorable”?
Mmmmmm.....okay.
