Oh heavens – can you imagine the fight in the Senate should la Clinton be named as Obama’s nominee to replace retiring SCOTUS Justice John Paul Stevens?
I missed this intriguing story over the weekend but didn’t want to let another day go by without linking to it and writing about it. The Washington Note is hardly a bastion of conservative thought – not even close, and nor is Steve Clemons, who writes for WN. On Saturday they published a column online that gave a revealing look at just how deep the “special scratch my back/I’ll scratch yours” relationship really is between the Obama WH and MSM journalists and columnists. It’s a disturbing report, but one that shouldn’t surprise any of us, considering that – once you read it – you’ll recognize that these sort of things were going on prior to then-candidate Obama being elected President. And obviously, the beat goes on (bolded emphasis added by me):
The mainstream media’s bias in favor of Barack Obama has been well-documented. In 2008, Investors Business Daily posted a comparison chart of media campaign contributions to Democrats versus their campaign contributions to Republicans, and found that Democrats had a 100 to 1 advantage in that department. Over the last several years, some liberal journalists and columnists have bravely gone on the record in admitting the strong left wing tilt of most major (and minor) mainstream media news organizations.
