Could They Be More Obvious

Remember when 'liberal media bias' was just sort of coming out of the closet? It would poke its head out from time to time.

Walter Cronkite then broke the doorknob so the closet wouldn't close anymore.

Stuff started tumbling out. From time to time a zipper would be lowered, exposing the liberal media bias pretty obviously.

People like Dan Rather yanked it down so hard that the teeth got all mangled like a wet kid on a snowy day rushing for a cup of hot chocolate (Dan would appreciate that I think) and the zipper won't even go up any more.

Still - sometimes the idiocy is just too, too blatant.

I'll provide the meat, you make the sandwich on your own:

1) A couple of yahoos decide to yank a debate moderators chain by saying 'yeah!' when he dumbly asks if a patient without health care should be allowed to die (despite the candidates response in the negative). The left and the media wet themselves in delirium as they claim that the entire audience, breathless with blood lust, screeched for the hypothetical head - of course no such outcry actually happened, but that's neither here nor there. Now we are treated to endless wailing and teeth gnashing over the 'audience outcry' that they claim they heard.

Ok...got that?

2) A video surfaces showing a black woman talking about how, as a government employee, she originally thought that she shouldn't help a white farmer for no other reason than because he was white. The audience at this event, does erupt in supportive cheering. This is witnessed on the tape. This was before she said she changed her mind. So the audience was, in fact, explicitly cheering for what they felt was an overt act of racism. The media and the left went after, of course, the conservative that posted the video. Endless rounds of interviews talked about the posting of the video, the sourcing of the video, the poster of the video...not about the audience reaction, not about any underlying black racism, etc etc.

See? I don't need to draw anyone a map - this stuff is easy once you know what to look for.
