Biased...glaringly so.
I thought after all this time and the fact that Obama has failed as a President in so many ways...at least some of the MSM would have pulled their heads out of their butts. Apparently most of them like it there.
The Mainstream Media: Is It Biased?

Mitt is "for" a cause. Next day, the news reports that Mitt is "against" the same
cause. This is honestly NOT the media but is actually Mitt's constant waffling.
1) Why do you think that 90% of Romney's support is white?
2) Why are so many so-called "conservatives" so angered when someone asked them for credible facts and data, and why do their statements consist of hateful insults and and name-calling in lieu of informed discourse?
Please do not take me wrong: I am not saying that you are pubescent. I have friends and acquaintances who are generous, bright, cultured people--until they turn to politics. The transformation is Jekyll and Hyde. Yet we get along and mostly avoid that which is most likely to separate us.
God commands us to love especially people we do not like. We love our children, but we do not always like them. Pray for those who anger you; I do, and it works.
NPR is reliable in what it reports, but it is cowed by its corporate "sponsors".
This tells the storyof why Bush looked so bad at the end of his term.
Don’t just skim over this. It’s not very long. Read it slowly and let it sink in. If in doubt, check it out!
The day the Democrats took over was not January 22, 2009. It was actually January 3,2007. The Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush's fault,” think about this:
January 3rd, 2007, was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007, was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!

Congress added to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 –because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA!
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and the Democrat Congress.
So when someone tries to blame Bush,
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I approved expanding that deficit four-fold since January 20, 2009.
That liberal/conservative dichotomy is illusion, intended to keep people divided along those lines while the totalitarian state is built around us, relatively unnoticed.
If you really pay attention, you can clearly see the media ALWAYS comes down on the side of more intrusive, more restrictive of freedom government actions, regardless if you are viewing CNN, NPR, FOX or NBC. And the entertainment media promotes the police state, showing cops (in both fictional and reality based shows) violating people's rights left and right while the viewers are encouraged to cheer those tactics to "get the bad guys". Trouble is those tactics are used on innocent (of any real crimes as in a violation of another's rights) people more often than real criminals
I am one of those true conservatives--progressive conservative, à la Teddy Roosevelt (without the racism of that epoch).
