I get my morning dose of liberalism from NPR and then scan
opinionjournal.com for the other side. The bias on the NPR side reeks.
Consider the Gwen Ifill case: Both NPR and PBS conned their listeners
into thinking they were getting the full story because they quoted
blurbs from McCain, Michelle Malkin and Ifill. What was left out on
both NPR and PBS was the fact that Ifill's book is due to be released
Jan 20. What a difference it would make if their listeners knew that
Ifill stands to gain monetarily based on an Obama win or, rather, that
the success of her book is predicated upon an Obama victory.
Then there were the "fact checks" after the Palin debate. Oh my, major error on Palin's part--McCain did not sponsor legislation requesting oversight of Fannie and Freddie. Chuck Hagel was the true sponsor, McCain was merely a co-sponsor.
Did they mention Biden's fantasy about Hizbollah being driven out of
Lebanon because Obama and Biden yelled at Hizbollah? Oh no, not a word.
So at the end of the broadcast Biden remains the foreign policy expert.
Another
fact-check after the McCain-Obama debate--did Obama really request $3
million for a projector. Yes, but no says NPR. It was really a nice
projector, not the little desktop model that you are thinking of. So
McCain was wrong again.
What about the Obama-Ayers relationship?
Wikipedia says that the board met monthly for the first six months, and
quarterly thereafter. So we can safely guess that these two saw each
other at least 25 times, plus perhaps an equal number of times for
meetings of the Woods Foundation. They also met several times at school
meetings--their kids went to the same elite school. That's about 50
encounters, including Obama's campaign kick-off at Ayers' home. "Just a
guy who lives in my neighborhood." My foot.
