Wednesday Night Video – The New York Times Catering to Conservatives
April 25, 2012 2 Comments
It’s amazing what happens when actual liberal voices appear in the media. Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks correctly chastises The New York Times for their most recent attempts criticize President Obama in a way specifically designed to please the conservatives. Uygur contrasts that with the actual facts, bringing up The Pew Research study that shows how Mitt Romney has been getting more than twice the positive coverage in the news than Obama. Positive coverage of Obama has actually been at 18%, and I’m willing to bet that most of that criticism has come from the right, as opposed to the left. If there is a liberal media, the New York Times ain’t it.
UYGUR: Mainstream media, in this case The New York Times, looks at itself and says “Oh no, we didn’t do the right-wing enough of a favor. We’re giving 2-1 positive coverage to Mitt Romney. Maybe it should be 3-1, maybe it should be 4-1. Right-wing, please don’t call us liberals!”

Thing is, I think Mitt is putting his foot in his mouth deeper every time. But then, I don’t like the fool so it’s easy for me to see his lies and twisting the truth. He said yesterday or today something to the effect of his campaign will not be about diversion, but will focus on what he will do. yeah, right. No diversion. That’s all you’ve been doing ol’ buddy.
My version of that is how I see Romney as thoroughly hollow in almost every statement he makes. But look at how many people didn’t see the idiocy in George Bush! And Bush didn’t even attempt to hide it.
