The Liberal Media (hat tip Instapundit)
Many on the Left wonder why most people consider the mainstream media (sans obvious exceptions such as the Wall Street Journal and Fox News) to be very liberally biased. After all, the media presents things that Leftist mostly agree with and sometimes even presents things in a way in which they disagree. However, all news is filtered through the biases of the people presenting the news. Most statistics show that approximately 85% of those in the media vote Democratic every election, but statistics are usually ignored by Leftist as they are boring and subject to manipulation. So here is an example of the liberal bias of reporters.
When a group called the Young Conservatives of Texas was preparing to protest a Bill Clinton appearance in the state, Steve McLinden, a Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter, used the paper's e-mail to send the group this message:"Ah, the heartless, greedy, anti-intellectual little fascists are mobilizing again. (Let me guess. All you frat boys saved up your allowances and monies from your McDonald's jobs for those Beemers you'll be driving to the protest, and those new jackboots you'll be sportin' en route)."
Now I am sure that McLinden's editor will have a talk with McLinden about his actions. Not because of his opinion, but because he shed some light on how the paper's reporters really think. No wonder more people are getting their news via the internet nowadays.
