Bias? What Bias?

This is so jaw-droppingly bizarre you almost don’t know how to respond. It reminds me of a movie I saw way back in the sixties called A Guide for the Married Man. In one scene, Joey Bishop plays a guy caught by his wife red-handed in bed with a beautiful woman. As the wife goes nuts, demanding to know what the hell is going on, Joey and the woman get out of bed and calmly put on their clothes. He then casually straightens up the bed and quietly responds to his wife, who by now has smoke coming out of her ears, “What bed? What girl?” After the woman leaves, Joey settles in his lounge chair and reads the paper, pausing long to enough to ask his wife if she shouldn’t be in the kitchen preparing dinner!
Joey’s mantra in such situations is simple: Deny! Deny! Deny! And in this scene his denials are so matter-of-fact and so nonchalant that by the time the other woman leaves the bedroom, leaving just Joey and his wife, her head is spinning and she’s so bamboozled that she’s seriously beginning to doubt what she just saw with her own two eyes. She’s actually beginning to believe him when he says there was no other woman in the room!
Just think of Joey Bishop as the media elite and think of his wife as you—the American news-consuming public.
You have caught them red-handed over and over again with their biases exposed, and all they do is Deny! Deny! Deny!

It strikes me that he could just as easily be describing the maddening behavior of anti-Semites.

The perception of the right as "angry" occured in the 1990s when we dared question the great Clintoon.
Fixing welfare was 'meanspirited'.

Now, asking people to make sense when they babble their criticisms of Bush is "suppressing dissent".

The Left has a way of personalizing everything and evading the questions/distorting things so their views cannot be questioned rationally.
Sometimes the Right does it too, but I discourage that poor substitute for logic.

Asking people to make sense when they babble their criticisms of Bush is "suppressing dissent".

Of course it is. (/sarcasm) But if someone will just explain to me the philosophy of governance that leads to supporting Howard Dean, I will understand their babbilations and not have to ask them to make sense.
