Media Bias Roundup - 05/09/08
May 9th, 2008 by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
We are starting a new daily feature here at MMB - a daily media bias roundup. I will be visiting the major blogs and news outlets to bring you links of interest in this area. All comments are welcome…
Let’s start the day with a post over at The New Editor - Conservatives are Happy Because We Don’t Care. It would appear that MSNBC thinks conservatives are happy because they don’t care what happens to others. Odd, it has always been my experience that conservatives care every bit as much as liberals - thus all the fighting you see daily. Could it be they are happier because they are more at peace with their conscience?
Over at BizzyBlog, we have a couple of good posts:
Jenna’s Wedding: An Excuse for Cheap Media Shots at Her, and Her Father - this is as close as America gets to a royal wedding. Jenna’s wedding really is a private affair and the media should keep their mitts off. She deserves congratulations and we hope that this is the happiest day of her life.
Also check out the comments on the New York Times and layoffs… Blaming Bush for everything - wow, wonder what they’ll do when President Bush is gone?
The Bookworm Room looks at Obama and his tendency to not be truthful and what this teaches all of us. All lies are not created equal *UPDATED*
