Left Wing Media Bias Showing
Boy that left wing media bias is really showing with the media tripping over itself to talk about how Tony Snow of Fox News has been so critical of Bush. Yeah we all know that that Fox New Channel is fair and balanced and Bush is criticized on that channel all time. It will be so hard for Tony Snow to give his own personal private ideas and push the party line. The line came from George Stafanolopus on ABC Nightly news. :sarcasm:

1. Did George S. say that Fox was fair and critical of Bush?

2. I just heard ABC news saying when Snow said "Bush was an embarrassemnt"
it was because Bush was not fighting the Democrats in Congress hard enough!...This is hardly a scathing criticism and certainly shows Snow's political bent!

3. Actually, didn't this start on the left?
Edited on Wed Apr-26-06 05:52 PM by SeveneightyWhoa
I really doubt it started as a right-wing attempt to make Snow look "critical" of Bush, and somehow more capable.

Wasn't it lefty bloggers that were digging for dirt? Isn't this at least partially why Snow's account on FreeRepublic was suspended?

And if anything, I think it was Keith Olbermann who made this an issue yesterday. (Stephanopholous' whoring is to be expected, though, because his whole journalistic career has been based on trying to run away from his previous employment.)

5. Every word you hear in the MSM about this is pure spin and bullshit
They got blindsided and this is the counter. The facts came from the left doing some digging. The MSM, by giving it wall to wall 'nyuk nyuk' coverage blunts the entire issue.

But in the end, it is either a small negative or a neutral for them.
