Add one more to a long line of admissions on liberal media bias
The BBC admitted it last week, a former WaPo senior reporter admitted it back in September, and countless others over the years have confessed to a noticeable liberal bias in the MSM.
Here’s another admission, this time from ABC News political director Mark Halperin, who Allah reminds us was the writer of this infamous memo about a month before the 2004 election, where Halperin urged ABC reporters to be tougher on Bush than Kerry (which I blogged about in my post about an ABC News producer who exclaimed in an email that Bush made him “sick”).
This snippet from what I wrote in my BBC liberal bias post bears repeating, I think:
Liberals here at home and liberals abroad who continue to deny there is a strong liberal bias in the mainstream media in the face of all these admissions to the contrary are doing nothing more than the customary burying of their heads in the sand (I call it HISS: Head In Sand Syndrome) when faced with facts they don’t want to hear. Non-media liberals who will admit to seeing the liberal bias, who say it’s no big deal should imagine a world filled with mainstream media outlets that were predominantly conservative, uninclusive of opposing viewpoints, while showing an insensitivity to liberal concerns. Then they’d understand why conservatives feel the way they do about the mainstream media today. Not only that, but maybe, just maybe, they’d realize what a sham a political party and a media, both of which claim a ‘big tent’ type of tolerance for all kinds of views, actually is.

I hope you won’t mind a bit of self-promotion for a good cause. A short homemade video I produced is getting some attention after a mention from Quin Hillyer (Executive Editor, The American Spectator):
In response to my column last week, a reader home-produced this video that seems to me to be as effective a political message as almost any professionally produced commercial I’ve seen in a long time. One need not endorse the message to recognize its simple and powerful clarity. Very impressive indeed! It makes one wonder why the so-called “pros” are often so unable to understand what makes voters tick…..
Please, if you agree with the message, share it with those who need to see it (only two weeks to go folks…):

Thank you and I apologize if this comment is too off topic or out of line.
Note to all: this is a diffrent Keith than the one I banned last night.
Keith: I can’t see the video at the moment, but if I look at it tonight and find that it is off topic, I’ll just move it to a another thread it is more suitable for.
I like it Keith H. The only complaint is the pacing, the text adds up just a bit fast for some of the slow readers out there, but the basic message is spot on.
Thanks Severian… was trying to squeeze a lot into a short time, but I was concerned it might be a wee bit fast.
You banned Keith???? I am going to miss the way he confused his arguments and totally misrepresented the truth. So sad, and I never even got a hug good-bye.

At least I got a hug from Foley. 
Just not Keith.

Hmmm – you might wanna email Brian Ross, then, Bak, and let him know
I don’t look young enough for ABC!
They can’t lie and say I was under 18…. like they did others.
Bak, ya can’t say we didn’t warn you about letting your pet troll wander around loose.
