Bias in the P-D reporting on Obama-McCain exchange
I noticed that the P-D printed an article titled, “Obama rebukes McCain camp on terrorism criticism.” I also noticed that of the 18 paragraphs in that article, 11 either quoted Obama or were favorable to his point of view. Five were either factual or factual-yet-skewed-towards-the-left (”The Republican argument proved less effective in 2006 …”). Two…a whopping two…quoted Republicans.
Some quotes: “A defiant Obama”…”a sharp rebuke to Republicans”….”Obama said Republicans could be counted on to do “what they’ve done every election cycle, which is to use terrorism as club to make the American people afraid to win elections.”
Anyone care to bet which candidate the Post-Dispatch will be endorsing this election year? Save your money…the Democrat, regardless. Think I am spouting typical conservative, Fox-News propaganda? Fine, name one Republican who the P-D has endorsed for President since FDR took office, regardless of who the candidates were, or their positions on the issues. Surely you can name one…just one??

Would you really expect anything else from a left wing publication? They want Obama and nanny state giveaways so bad, they can taste it.
