Media Bias of the Day - UPDATE with Video

Posted on September 03, 2008 by The Editors. There are 2 Comments

I know that many visitors to this site are not all-out news junkies, but rather casually come here to educate themselves on the Presidential race.  Nothing makes Assaf and I happier than knowing we provide a venue for people to discover more about politics and inform themselves before they vote.  That’s why we got into this in the first place.

This blog post is for you.

Take a look at this:

And now take a look at this cover:

See a difference?  This is what media bias does.  This is what you should be on the lookout for over the next few months.  Do not let the media manipulate you.  That is their intention.  Even publications like US Weekly (which, not coincidentally, is published by Jann Wenner, who has donated $5300 to Obama’s campaign since 2007), will try to sway you in your decision making process.

There is no shortage of controversial material to be used against Obama in this context, nor is there a shortage of positive material to be used for Palin. The very deliberate portrayal of Obama vs. that of Palin is intentional and I hope that people can use such blatant examples of media bias to develop a radar of sorts that will allow them to see through such attempts at manipulating their view of the candidates.

Here’s a related article by Stephen F. Hayes of the Weekly Standard that touches on the depths to which the media are sinking in taking on Sarah Palin:  The Media Descend to a New Low

If I were a woman in America watching the media and the Left do what they are doing to Sarah Palin I would be appalled, and furious.  They are doing nothing short of trying to destroy this woman because she is a threat to them.  Pay attention over the next few weeks to the nature of the attacks.  They will not be based on her policies and political philosophies.  They will instead concentrate on her family, scandal, and the like.

UPDATE:  Check out this video of Megyn Kelly of Fox News taking on Bradley Jacobs, Senior Editor of US Weekly:

Hey Brad, can I get you some ice after that ass whoopin?  That’s gotta hurt.
