[us_media] High Hackery

As I review the impressions of the media coverage over the past year-plus, I am struck over and over by how the media have given the incumbent a pass over things much more serious than what Clinton ever contemplated.

Perhaps they were thinking they were banking goodwill?

Don't bet on it.

A few positive stories on the Democratic candidates and look how they turn on 'em. (The link goes to an opinion piece at the New York Post, which is a Murdoch organ, natch).

For those who have eyes to see, here is all you need to know about national media today:

• The President is a wise leader


• He's not really made any mistakes


• Anything that comes to the surface in that wise isn't newsworthy


• The Democratic candidates are fundamentally evil


• Any positive attribute they have is insincere at best


• Any positive coverage of them is prima facie evidence of thier being surrogates for the Demos, and likely paid ones at that


• Any such activity will cause the source to be destroyed in place

Mix the above with a healthy dash of the traditional There's a liberal bias in the Media whine. Serves serveral millions apparently.

The above is why people say Fox News misinforms its public. That is what they do.

That is also why we don't have cable.
