I blogged Saturday [1] about the blatant anti-conservative bias the Associated Press displayed this weekend over Senator Sam Brownback’s announcement that he was running for president versus Senator Clinton’s. Hillary’s announcement was reported in glowing terms (still happening today [2]), whereas Brownback’s was treated as though he’d just declared he was joining up with Al Qaeda.
Mark Finkelstein at Newsbusters notes today [3] how that bias was also on display on NBC’s Today show this morning, and has video of the Kelly O’Donnell segment.
Be ready for a lot more of this as the media lays the groundwork for letting you know what Democratic candidates you should support versus what Republican candidates you should be ‘warned’ about.
