I am shocked, shocked, to report that Gallup finds a steep decrease in faith in unpaid Obama press agents the media.
What could possibly explain such a lack of confidence in the ink-stained wretches?
Oh yeah.

The Anchoress, Elizabeth Scalia (no relation) posted this classic from the Onion on her blog today: http://www.theonion.com/articles/media-having-trouble-finding-right-angle-on-obamas,2703/
Likewise the current issue of On the Media podcast is wrestling wioth the question “Does PR Have a Liberal Bias?”
http://www.onthemedia.org/2012/sep/14/
One of their replies is “We’re no more liberal than TIME or Newsweek.”
Don, is this a defence you would try in a court if liberalism were a crime?
The Onion story is a true classic Thomas. The only thing funnier than media bias is the denial of it.
Here’s another interesting site showing how the media is lying about the polls. Now, are they covering for planned fraud or if Romney/Ryan win, will the media and the demoncrats claim they “stole” the election?

It’s been so my entire life.
They simply are democrats with bylines. It’s all liberal propaganda and presenting progressive fictions as facts.
It’s all distortions, distractions, exaggerations, fabrications, misdirections, omissions and outright lies repeated constantly.
“If you don’t read the newspapers you are uninformed. If you read the papers you are misinformed.” Either Twain or Will Rogers, I’m unsure.
Worrying about the state of the economy and the future of the country is keeping me up at night. If it were only me I would not be so concerned but I have a wife, two small children and a mortgage, among other obligations.
Bernard Goldberg wrote two books about media bias and they were huge sellers. The alphabet networks parrot whatever the New York Times prints, and we all know that rag has always been biased. The Washington (Com)Post started out as a Democrat party organ, or so I was told by a former Washington, DC coworker.
I dropped the Pittsburgh Tribune Review last year for its’ publisher’s view that Planned Parenthood funding must be continued. I can’t read the Post Gazette. I don’t buy a newspaper and rarely watch news on TV except for the local traffic and weather on the weekday mornings.
I would have guessed H.L. Mencken. But after some searching of the web, I find this is most often attributed to Mark Twain but the origin appears to be unknown.
And now for some vintage Mencken that is particularly appropriate as we reflect on the current holder of the office of President and the current election season:
The media could collectively receive the Walter Duranty Prize for this election cycle’s reporting.
Things would be different if a Republican was president.
They’d be all over this like stink on poop.
Here’s the story the Obama worshiping stooges with by-lines will never write.
From The London Mail (UK):
“More Americans now commit suicide than are killed in car crashes as miserable economy takes its toll
“Deaths from suicide up 15pc with fears more deaths go unaccounted
“$56m suicide prevention plan being rolled out after shocking statistics”

Here’s the story the Obama worshiping stooges with by-lines will never write.
Obama’s war on coal and electricity generation (quoted at Instapundit):
“Look, folks, I am in this field. I have been for more than 30 years. Losing 36,000 MWs of the most cost-efficient generation capacity in the US is a disaster. You have no idea how bad the increases are going to be. They will be disastrous to the individual energy consumers and apocalyptic to large users – those who create jobs.
“I shudder to think of what this is going to do to grid reliability as well. A lot of those coal plants help support the grid during disruptions. They regularly provide both energy and MVARs (Mega Volt-Ampere Reactive) that keep the grid from collapsing when large loads are added or lost. (That’s about as simple as I can make it and still be understood.) Losing these stabilizers will make it very hard to hold the grid. I pity the load dispatchers.”
If things go the wrong way in NOvember you will need to buy a generator.
