but a ______ bias. (Insert phrase -- scandal, flashy storry, gossipy...)
Well, it can't be a bias toward scandal, flashy story, or gossip. Two (admittedly obvious) examples.
The Gary Condit (D-California) murdered Chandra Levy story was all we heard about for months on end in the lead up to 9/11. Completely ignored in the same time frame- Dead woman found in Joe Scarborough's (R-Florida) OFFICE.
Monica Lewinsky v. Jeff Gannon/Guckert.
Isn't it funny how msm only loves scandal/gossip/flashy story if it skewers Dems/leftist?
Go on, I know you can add more. Like:
Ward Churchill v. David Horowitz
HuffPo anonymous commenter v. (which stupid right-wing blog wanted Carter murdered? I've blocked it from memory)
Dan Rather v. any damn anchor you could name that put out erroneous info or outright lies about Dean, Gore, Hillary, Obama on and on ad nauseum.
Corporate Mantra- Anything, anything at all that makes the left look bad, and anything, anything at all that puffs up the right. Why? Because the left is pro-worker, pro-environment, pro-poor people, anti-war. IOW, all the things that interfere with unfettered, obscene profit, while the right supports any and everything (except illegal immigration) that enhances said profit. The bottom line truth is sometimes very, very simple.
