Isn't it time to go after the left-leaning catamites at the Wall Street Journal. Why should its reporters get a pass?

What is not noted here is how far left the "center" has been biased by the bias that exists. Because the vast majority of media has been left biased for decades, it has shifted the power in congress far to the left.

The "center" in congress today is far left of where it would be if the old media had not been trying to move it left for decades.

My wife subscribes to US. News and Gibberish er World Report. Despite having John Leo and Michael Barone as regular columnists, I still can't stand to peruse the rag with the godawful drumbeat of leftist propaganda in its basic reporting.
