MSM DOUBLE STANDARD (AGAIN)

I'll be posting a defense of Pat Robertson after this post. I did want to make a short posting though pointing again to the double standard in the MSM.

It doesn't matter what Al Sharpton says - the MSM will still uphold him as a "legitimate" politician.

It doesn't matter that Robert Byrd was a member of the Ku Klux Klan - the MSM gives him a "pass" and allows him to remain - unmolested - as one of the primary leaders of the Democratic caucus in Congress.

Doesn't matter what Dick Durbin says about our troops - or what he calls them - the MSM just yawns and refuses to cover the story until bloggers beat the bejabbers out of them.

Doesn't matter that Ted Kennedy is, inarguably, responsible for a girls death and also guilty of trying to cover it up to preserve his political viability - the MSM gives him a pass and represents him as a Senator of "stature" - and they've done this for almost 30 years in his case.

Doesn't matter that Cindy Sheehan is a left wing extremist who has made such outrageous statements that only about 1% of the extreme liberal left wouldn't be repulsed by those statements - the MSM gives her a pass and refuses to point out these statements.

None of that matters.

But if TRENT LOTT says some nice words about Strom Thurmond at ole' Stroms BIRTHDAY party - Trent MUST give up his position as Senate Majority Leader.

And Karl Rove must resign - even though he hasn't even been indicted by anybody for anything yet! And everything we know about his situation - we know basically due to some "leaks" of dubious reliability.

And the moment Pat Robertson comments that perhaps we should assasinate the Venuzuelan dictator that is a threat to the security of the United States ...

The MSM is immediately ALL OVER HIM.

Let's not forget that there is more than ample evidence of a LIBERAL BIAS in our MSM.
