The DEM/MSM: fair and balanced towards Romney — NOT

Posted on by

I’ll make no bones about it: you cannot trust the bulk of American media for unbiased coverage of most any incident and certainly not involving political events or individuals that do not lean Left or aren’t Demorat in orientation.

I would reference this article from NewsBusters.org by Scott Whitlock:

Networks That Fawned Over Obama’s World Tour Mock Romney’s International ‘Blunders’

Mitt Romney’s week-long international trip resulted in unrelentingly negative coverage from the big three broadcast networks, a stark change from the glowing press awarded to then-candidate Barack Obama’s world tour in 2008. While Obama was treated like a rock star (from the Associated Press: “It’s not only Obama’s youth, eloquence and energy that have stolen hearts across the Atlantic….”), Romney endured a focus on gaffes and the trivial.

MRC analysts examined all 21 ABC, CBS and NBC evening news stories about Romney’s trip to London, Israel and Poland between July 25 and July 31. Virtually all of these stories (18, or 86%) emphasized Romney’s “diplomatic blunders,” from his “golden gaffe” at the Olympic games to “missteps” that offended the Palestinians.

The first of these “gaffes” was the former GOP governor asserting that security problems in London are not “encouraging.” (This unsurprising point had previously been made by many in the media.)

Obama’s 2008 foreign tour, unlike Romney’s 2012 version, received glowing coverage.

When the Democrat arrived in Berlin to speak, Brian Williams could hardly contain himself. On the July 24, 2008 Nightly News, he trumpeted, “…The man from Chicago, Illinois, the first ever African-American running as presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, brought throngs of people into the center of Berlin, streaming into this city, surging to get close to him, to hear his message.”

It distills down to this:
  • Obama good;
  • Romney bad

Just ask all the major American news outlets.

Oh, and this little-covered tidbit:

Obama’s job approval rating slips BELOW 44%.

Just sayin’.

  1. Yep, reality is the bias is HUGE! They don’t want to see their ‘power’ decrease… Bu what they don’t realize istheir power is already gone, thank to the internet and people being able to search their own news!

    • I find many bloggers — not strictly Old School Journalists — to be every bit or more accurate than Old School Journalistas themselves.

      • Culture is EVERYTHING — completely agreed.

        It has NOTHING to do with melanin count, though Leftists would have you believe so.

        It’s about whether your culture has actual values, whether it is a positive culture, a Building Culture, or whether is does nothing but DESTROY or oppress its peoples or its government is corrupt and totalitarian.

        I still believe in Western Cultures, plain and simple. They are the Builders and not the Destroyers.

        Palestinians: destroyers.

        Romney is correct.
