Perhaps the most telling means to determine media bias is to compare treatment of the two major parties’ nominees for vice president. One had a reputation for embellishing his record while making some pretty silly statements, the other had her supposedly silly statements publicized as a signs of her stupidity. His were brushed aside, as “Well, that’s just Joe.”
Now, another prominent Democrat tapped by Barack Obama for an important job has now joined her fellow partisan from the First State, with her eagerness for exaggeration and her penchant for misrepresentation. And Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has not been subject to the same degree of media scrutiny (and mockery) as the more charismatic former Alaska governor received. Now, Jennifer Rubin reports, she’s telling us that Republican “want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws“.
“No,” quips Rubin,
I don’t suppose the media will give her the same treatment that is handed out to Palin. They make allowances for Wasserman Schultz, you see, because her “heart is in the right place,” meaning she mouths liberal platitudes, albeit inartfully.
Well, they do make allowances for Joe Biden.
No post about Joe’s heart being in the “right place” should go without comment.
Joe, you and the media (heart) the same liberal claptrap. Therefore: your heart is in the left place. In fact, you and Deborah Wasserman Schultz should have a heart to heart relationship based on your shared feelings, willingness to demagogue and fact free pontifications.
