This Bothers Me « Media Distortions »

Check this out:

Debbie Stabenow can't shake those photographs.

First there was that speech in Congress standing in front a sign that said "Dangerously Incompetent." Some Stabenow aide should have been fired for that one, but the Senator took the ribbing graciously.

Now she is in the main illustration of a New York Times story on the campaign-contribution bad boy, Norman Hsu. She's clearly having a good time with the guy. The senator takes the hit even though everybody in Congress is guilty of money-grubbing. It's the way the system works, what with contributions declared free speech.

Even Hillary got sucked in by Hsu and gave back $850,000 in loot.

The GOP does the same thing: Take the money no matter where it's from.

No proof. No evidence. Just a line that reveals the writer assumes Republicans are guilty as charged...and making sure the charge is constantly repeated.

I don't doubt that there are plenty of corrupt Republican lawmakers. But it seems to be evidence of bias when news outlets can talk for paragraphs about a Democratic Party politician's foibles without mentioning party affiliation, and has no problem not mentioning Democratic corruption in an article about Republican corruption, but feels the need to include an unsupported claim of Republican graft totally unrelated to the topic at hand. It seems like it is merely a knee-jerk reaction of liberal ideology: anything Democratics are bad/wrong about, Republicans are as bad or worse.

There simply is no evidence that Hsu has anything to do with Republicans, but we still get the wild assertion. No report of Democratic wrongdoing can go by without tarring Republicans with the same brush, rightly or wrongly. Yet our "unbiased" media actively downplayed Democratic connections to lobbyist Abramoff (particularly Senator Harry Reid). Why the double standard?

Oh, yeah. Silly of me.

Internet is a source of information and knowledge. But there are so many sites in net which are nothing but gibberish. But when I visit your site – I felt that – in net there are lots of sites (like this) from where I can get lot of information too. And if I say truly – your site is fantastic. I’ve bookmarked your site in my browser; I hope in future days I’ll get more valuable information from your site.
