In this comic strip, the artist deftly
illustrates the media's use of the "unbiased assessment," asking for
one from someone you KNOW is biased. This is one reason why I'm very selective
in my news sources. It is this kind of blatant (but which they think is subtle)
scam that fools people who "don't pay attention to politics" until
just before an election that "turns me off" to most "news
sources." I don't always agree with this artist's politics, but sometimes
he hits it "right on the head." Another method is the "gush"
or "ignore" scam. I'm listening now to CNN (I only listen to CNN
because it's all there is on Saturday morning in the 9 o'clock hour because I
got tired of idiot stock buyers on Fox arguing with one another about
economics) reporters "gushing" about Hillary's "concession
speech," asking breathlessly, "Who is going to be on the stage
with her?" "What will she wear?" What will she SAY?"
"What is her future?" Questions never asked when other candidates
withdrew, from either side. Their bias is very evident if you know what to look
for. Only those who "pay attention" do. They've even given it a name:
"The Clinton Exit." How funny is that? Fortunately, Fox doesn't
"gush" like that, even for McCain. They're a little more restrained.
