Not that there was ever any doubt about the liberal bias in the media, but this is pretty ridiculous. Slam Bush in 05 but not Obama in 09, when the economy is also completely trashed?

Slamming the Dear Leader is grounds for loss of White House press-room access.

Which is funny to say considering how much more open Obama has already been to the press than Bush ever was.

As for the idea of taking a single article from a single source about Bush's second inauguration, trying to compare it to one that is historic by any person's standards, and declare the 'librul media' myth yet again... is once again stupid.

It's amazing considering how much time so many people spend trying to find examples of the 'librul media' that things like this are the best they can come up with. Must be the librul internet erasing all the evidence.

So you can't even acknowledge the apparent hypocrisy?

I most certainly can, and you can definitely acknowledge how absurd a conclusion is being drawn from the two, right?

Obama shuts out Journalists, he only allows pre-picked ones to ask him questions

The press corps, most of us, don't even bother raising our hands any more to ask questions because Obama always has before him a list of correspondents who've been advised they will be called upon that day.

Well, I'm glad you can.

If this were the only thing such a conclusion is based on I would. If I understand the OP correctly, this is just another example of what he sees as bias. Collectively, examples such as this carry far more weight than any one isolated incident.

If you really want me to go collecting cases of conservative bias in the media I will, but we all know how many of those there are as well. An astute observer would look at the totality of American media, not just incidents that confirm their worldview.

The myth of the librul media is laughable when you actually look at it from an objective standpoint.
 
Geeze, you wanna talk bias? I went to the NewsBusters.org homepage and what did I find?

Ads for an "I'd rather be waterboarding" t-shirt and a Obama shirt with Obama wearing Mickey Mouse ears. WTF?!? I also saw an ad for PajamasTV, the outfit that Joe the Plumber works for, imparting his "wisdom" I'm sure. Let's see what else? A slam against Lou Dobbs, Katie Couric, a hit piece on Geithner, some stupid shit about abstinence, and a ongoing spewage of epic conservative proportions.

Oh the irony! Pointing out liberal bias in the media by pointing to a site full of conservative bias! Wow, you fucking fail, joshsquall.

:thumbsdown:

The hilarity is that you don't realize the majority of the article is direct quotes from two AP articles.

Obama open??? WTF are you thinking??

The press has complained about him for months.

There have been quite a bit of stories about how Obama treats the press and the press isn't happy about it. Seems the problem spring from the fact that Obama is not used to the 24/7 media glare and is having a hard time adjusting to it.
