Jason at Zogby Blog picks up some real and obvious media bias:
I've always known that the big three, NBC,CBS, ABC slanted their news. I have not, however watched them in quite some time. Last night, I got home from work and clicked on the TV, while I was paying my bills and the nightly news with Tom was on. They were doing a story on Miguel Estrada, the DC attorney general the Bush nominated for DC supreme court. The correspondent was talking about the partisan fight in the Senate of Miguel. He would have been the first Hispanic on the court, but the Dems filibustered his vote. Anyway, the correspondent was said that the Dems filibustered him because of his secrecy. As he put it, "his refusal to release internal memos" from his work as Attorney General. Now, did he mention the reason for this? Noooooo! It is a breach of legal code. Internal memos regarding cases cannot be released. They never have been for prior nominated justices and never will be for future justices. NBC happened to leave that part out. The reason the Dems filibustered was because the Attorney General would not break the law and NBC doesn't think that is an important part of the story. It reinforced what I already knew. Tom, Peter and Dan are rabid liberals and slant the news to make the Reps seem unreasonable and the Dems seem like the redeemers. Will it never end?
