Media Bias Roundup - 06/06/08
Jun 6th, 2008 by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Check out the uproar at the Spokesman Review today, from Friends of Mark Fuhrman: S-R Editor Steve Smith rails about Tim Connor & Larry Shook - maliciously? The New Media once again nipping at the heals of the MSM…
And, from Pierre Legrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar: While the Base is Fighting an Existential Battle to Protect Civilization from Murderous Islamic Maniacs and the Moonbat Left, the Republican Party is handing out stuffed animals to Raise Money…okey dokey.
From The New Editor: Mark Morford Channels, Then Surpasses, Andrew Sullivan. A quote from Tom:
In case there was any doubt that the Chicago boys are simply the best there are in politics, the San Francisco Chronicle’s Mark Morford has written a piece entitled, “Is Obama an enlightened being?”
Seriously.
This is the best of the two most singularly ridiculous pieces written this week, the first being one written by the Chicago Sun-Times’ Mary Mitchell, who in a column earlier this week declared Father Michael Pfleger a modern-day John Brown.
More from The New Editor: Obama Hyperbole Watch, Biblical Division.
