Liberal media bias: an example of a different kind |

Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Mon Nov 2 20:26:27 2009 Usually we see the bias in what they print/say, here's an example of bias in what they do NOT print/say.On Friday night, a man named Jason Shih was arrested for possesion of Exstacy with intent to distribute during a traffic stop in East Rutherfod, NJ. The man claimed to be working for the Corzine campaign. Several news organizations originally ran with the story, for a few hours. Then the Corzine campaign flexed it's muscles and claimed it "never heard of him". ABC was so convinced that they failed to actually check up on that claim and scrubbed of all traces of the story from their website. Guess what? Today we learn that Shih was a high ranking member of the Corzine camp, working for the Middlesex County office. Not a single MSM news organization, cable, broadcast or print decided to actually check to see of the official denials from the Corzine camp were accurate. Had this guy been working for Christie, and had the Christie camp lied about his involvement with them, we all know how this would be playing out. And the MSM gave Corzine 48 hours of cover for which he can minimize the damage from this story. This is the sort of handicap all Republicans must deal with, and it's why FOX News plays such an important role in today's political machinations. |

I find it hard to believe with FOX/Drudge et al, that there isn't more made of this. Maybe there just isn't that much factual and maybe they're waiting for the exstacy to wear off.your pal, Fred |

I just demonstrated there is something to it. The whole point was that the MSM dutifully dropped the story simply because Corzine's people denied it. |

If the guy is high ranking, that can be verified. The car is rented, so there must be paperwork. The Corzine campaign said he's not on their payroll; that can be verified. So this supposed high ranking guy that nobody knows gets busted from out of the blue. How come the local press doesn't know this high ranking guy?It looks like sloppy reporting but it's early to yell conspiracy. your pal, Fred |

ABC simply took the Corzine camp's denial at face value. We all know they would not have done the same thing for Christie. |

It's Disney news ... launch fireworks, prep for the next show. With what they pay journalists these days, no one is willing to do the real work. If a story gets out and it bombs, it goes away. Same when the story is shouted out by the other side. Another lesson in why watching the news isn't good for you or the country. Spin, spin, spin followed by commercials. In the OLD days, networks were privately held and feared the FCC. And because they were privately held, there was a sense of responsibility and news was *expected* to lose money as a "public service." Now they're owned by the largest corporations in existence and exist solely as a revenue source.Bottom line, the media could give a shit. Next story, next commercial. :( |
