“How to Blow a Scoop.” Hmm, indeed. What kind of response would you expect from the mainstream media if the son of a Republican state representative hacked into Barack Obama’s yahoo email account? Outrage, right? Well sure, that’s a big scoop. So why isn’t the same level of devotion applied to the story about the son of a Democrat state representative who hacked into Sarah Palin’s yahoo email account? Further:
A Republican with a personal email account? Scandal! A Democrat who hacks a Republican’s personal email account? Ho-hum.
The vast majority of the media is inarguably in the tank for Obama, and it’s impossible to pretend there is any kind of objectivity going on. Shoot, the media’s current posture makes Bill Clinton look fair-minded and unbiased by comparison! I much prefer the Huffington Post over most of the liberal rags out there. At least with the Huffington Post, you know exactly what kind of ideology is being shoved down your throat.
I like your blog. Thanks for keeping us informed.
