Biased Mainstream Media Reports Only Opposite The Truth

If Gov. Sarah Palin had ever looked at her first grade teacher cross-eyed, that would be a front-page story in the newspapers of the dishonest, fraudulent and biased mainstream media. Papers like that include The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer. However, if you're running on the Democratic side of the ticket, you can have a long record suggesting you're stupid, arrogant and dishonest and that will be ignored by the mainstream media.

Take the case of Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for vice president. Most people remember his famous plagiarism of a British politician that forced him out of his first run for the presidency in 1988. Fewer probably know, as The Washington Post reported, there was "the discovery of other quotations in Biden's speeches pilfered from past Democratic politicians."

At least he steals from his own party. Fewer people probably know it was revealed he had a history of plagiarism going back to his law school days at Syracuse. But there's more, and it raises questions, as there seems to be a pattern of exaggeration and lying that went on even during his campaigning.

During the 1988 campaign, a reporter asked him about his law school record. Sen. Biden responded by saying he has a higher IQ than the reporter, and then proceeded to brag about his academic record. The only problem is that his claims are a series of lies:

* He said he "went to law school on a full academic scholarship." * He said he was the only one in his class to have such a scholarship. * He said he "ended up in the top half of his class." * He said he was "the outstanding student in the political science department."
