The insane bias of the mainstream media...

Post by Nightshade »

You're a fool if you don't see it.
Remember when Marco Rubio drank some water while giving the Republican response to the president's 2013 State of the Union address? Remember how CNN ran a picture of the Florida Senator taking his sip with a chyron reading: "Career Ender"? “So can a drink of water make or break a political career?” Wolf Blitzer asked. Politico ran more than one column discussing Rubio's "water thing." Most other major (read Democrat) news venues covered it too.

So my question is this, if a drink of water threatens the career of a Republican, what happens when a former Democrat congressman makes sexual Twitter advances to a minor causing the FBI to seize the computer of his wife, the Democrat presidential candidate's aide and a woman with ties to radical Islam, and the said computer is found to contain emails that potentially exposed classified information to our enemies so that said candidate could hide her likely influence peddling? Worse than a sip of water? Better?

NS, no one in the media said squat about Trump drinking water several times during at least one of the debates. However, quite a few DID pick up on all that sniffing. :P

By the way, the other not-so-public FBI investigation that only NBC has really picked up on. :wink:

If you think that article presents a coherent criticism of media bias, you're the fool.
