Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans

TALK ABOUT BIAS!

Look at this lead sentence:

Texas Republicans were guilty of a naked political power grab when they re-drew congressional boundaries, the Supreme Court was told Wednesday in a case that could have a major impact on elections.

The Supreme Court will determine if they were guilty of anything, not those making the charge. Sounds like the media has already convicted them (us).

Gotta love how the media will find someone else to say all of the things that they know they can't say themselves. Since they buried the attribute, I take this to be the journalist's own perspective first and foremost.

And the Democrats showed their true leadership style when they all took off to Oklahoma when they realized they did not have the votes to prevent the new map.

Here in Georgia- Democrats drew a horribly biased election map that basically disenfranchised Republicans. More Republicans were crammed into unbelievable districts-water down voting impact. Of course, it didn't work in the long run-desperate attempt from Dems to retain power in Georgia.
