Recently, a whisper from the media has resulted in a scream of the phrase that they seem to begin wearing as a badge instead of a smear more and more recently: Liberal Bias. It seems once again the liberal leadership can do no wrong, even when they are involved in an objective which they just a few years ago (something you wouldn’t realize if you saw the past few months articles) with a now member of political history.
In 2005, Jack Abramoff was huge news and pretty much placed a bull’s eye on Republican leadership. Despite the fact that there were funds accepted by Democrats such as Senator Feingold, almost immediately demands came from members of the press to return every dime ever received by Abramoff taking small bits of news such as President Bush’s contributions and enlarging them. This month, a liberal Jack Abramoff, Iranian-American investment banker Hassan Nemazee was sentenced to 12 years in prison for bank fraud. Despite title such as “Ex Clinton” periodically taking part in the title, the lack of press if any as well as nonexistence of follow up news, the press screams bias beyond any past event could have ever reached.
Not only is there a lack of news articles, but more importantly a lack of demands for returning funds. Reuters Press reported Nemazee was one of the top “bundlers” of contributions to Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics’ OpenSecrets.org. In fact, he typically donated more than $100,000 annually to Democrats including current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The follow of the whisper seems to be a pin drop while when Abramoff was found by the press, there were not only demands for returning funds and reports of such but articles are still occurring even months ago when he attempted to repair his life in a kosher pizzeria.
It seems that this party literally can do no wrong even when court proceedings and jail sentences are involved. As said before, despite the failing ratings and readership levels, liberal bias seems to be a badge of honor instead of a stain of slander to the liberal media as a whole. The result will not only be an increase in citizen and independent journalism’s popularity, but more importantly a decline in the political party which they are consistently attempting to protect.
