To Reiterate... Mainstream Media "Fact Checking" Ain't Always on the Up and Up


Folks... I noted this the other day... but it's worth highlighting as a stand alone post just to reinforce the points I often make with regard to the mainstream media ideological and often partisan biases.

I've provided the link; just follow it.

And, folks... don't delude yourselves... this isn't the exception - it's the norm - at least as far as the "mindset" of the "fact checking" goes.

Yes... these organizations go after Democrats too...

But they go after Republicans more. And beyond that... it's a different kind of "going after."

By and large the media starts off with the supposition that the liberal approach... the progressive approach... is the right approach. And even on those rare occasions where reporting or editorializing questions this supposition... the benefit of the doubt regarding "good intentions" is usually given to the Left - at least in relation to how the Right is looked upon and portrayed.

Heck, folks... just read the "deconstruction" of a Reuters "analysis" of Obamanomics which I did earlier today... which is posted right below this post!
