How the Mainstream Media Misses the News

For a year, a small number of conservative media outlets have been reporting on the New Black Panther Party scandal – a slam-dunk voter-intimidation case documented on videotape, which the government won by default but that Obama administration appointees ordered career lawyers to dismiss against the NBPP and two individual defendants. (The injunction against a third individual was drastically curtailed.) On the web at CONTENTIONS, Hot Air.com, and National Review Online, and on the pages of the Weekly Standard and the Washington Times, readers could watch the story unfold as bit by bit an extraordinary tale came into focus

The biggest sin of Big Lib Media has always been the telling of only one side of a story or the deliberate omission of news that puts conservatives in a good light or liberals in a bad one. It’s rarely been about deliberate lies...although they’ve very slow to correct misstatements made by libs about conservatives. Look at the Breitbart video flap concerning Shirley Sherrod. Or look at the the one concerning the black Dem congressmen who were supposedly spit on and called racist names by Tea Partiers. The media let those lies go unchallenged.

Thank you, that has to be the longest response to a post that I have ever received. It is a remarkable analysis and I will study it further.

In the meantime,your response reminds me of this Rush quote about the press where he said:

“There is one other business where the customer is always wrong and that’s the media.”
Rush Limbaugh
