Another Year Almost Over, Another Round of Media Bias Discovered
The Media Research Centre has put up their Annual Notable Quotables for another year and this year, as usual, there are some absolute doozies.
Like this absolute corker -
“You could argue that even the world’s worst fascist dictators at least meant well. They honestly thought [they] were doing good things for their countries by suppressing blacks/eliminating Jews/eradicating free enterprise/repressing individual thought/killing off rivals/invading neighbors, etc….Bush set a new precedent. He came into office with the attitude of ‘I’m so tired of the public good. What about my good? What about my rich friends’ good?’”
— Ex-Washington Post sports reporter and Seinfeld writer Peter Mehlman in a June 20 Huffington Post blog item.

“When I watched him [former President Bill Clinton] at Mrs. King’s funeral, I just have never seen anything like it….There are times when he sounds like Jesus in the temple. I mean, amazing ability to transcend ethnicity — race, we call it, it’s really ethnicity — in this country and, and speak to us all in this amazingly primordial way.”

Co-host Joy Behar: “Is there such a thing as a man-made stroke? In other words, did someone do this to him?…”
Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck: “Why is everything coming from the liberal perspective a conspiracy?…”
Behar: “I know what this [Republican] Party is capable of.”
— Discussing Democratic Senator Tim Johnson’s illness on ABC’s The View, December 14, 2006.
Tune in sports fans for more to come next year when the meeja desparately tries to get Saint Hillary over the line in the US. The frothing, fear, loathing and flat out lies will be flying by the bushel full.
