This Eric O’Keefe blog/op-ed is for my Michigan readers (of whom there are a few). It’s also worthy of note for anyone concerned with combatting massive tax hikes, the freedom of citizens in recall processes/petitions, and blatant media bias.
The Free Press’s position is passing strange considering it’s been 25 years since the last legislative recall in Michigan. And I agree with O’Keefe’s closing:
The Free Press is good at covering the Tigers and Red Wings. It should stick to covering sports, the weather, and the continuing decline of Michigan’s over-taxed economy.
If any another candidate or elected official told a lie like this, they’d be raked over the coals. How long will this nonsense goes on – ? – before someone in the mainstream media has the guts to say that there is something seriously wrong with someone who (a) blatantly lies about his accomplishments or (b) is so clueless he doesn’t even know what Senate committee he sits on.
I just love good old fashioned journalism (i.e. patiently researched stories that include sources and/or back-up info so readers don’t have to fact check). Here’s a great example over at American Thinker.
The upshot? As stated in the article: “An analysis of federal election records shows that the amount of money journalists contributed so far this election cycle favors Democrats by a 15:1 margin over Republicans, with $225,563 going to Democrats, only $16,298 to Republicans.”
American Thinker goes on to list the exact amount of the political contributions by journalists at every main stream media outlet in America. If you have any doubt about the existence of Media Bias, you need to read the whole article. (Surprise: note the numbers @ Fox News Channel – ?!)
