They Don’t Call it the Lamestream Media for Nothing

They Don’t Call it the Lamestream Media for Nothing « BernardGoldberg.com
How Much BS Do Have To Be Feed to Be Fed Up?
At the Tea Party Rally Protesting Congress Passing Obamacare by way of advocating the use of the budget reconciliation process to pass ObamaCare through the House and Senate. This procedure also referred to as the ObamaCare Nuclear Option and the Health Care Nuclear Option because the liberals are using this procedure as a means to get around the filibuster in the Senate. This same President Obama who opposed the Nuclear Option in 2005 as a back bench Senator.
"So it’s especially interesting that despite all the cameras and microphones at the scene, not one picked up the nasty remarks, even though they supposedly were being shouted, and even though another congressman, Andre Carson, a Democrat from Indiana, said that the demonstrators yelled “nigger” at least 15 times."
"
This, of course, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. As I say, it may have. Would I be shocked if it did. Honestly? No! So, let’s just assume the worst. And let’s see how the so-called mainstream media handled the story."...

There was this, from a newspaper in Sydney, Australia no less: “Black congressmen run gauntlet of racist slurs”

And this closer to home, from the Atlanta Journal Constitution: “Republican Party is stained by the racism of its fringe”

At least the Journal Constitution included the word “fringe” – a word missing from the Chicago Sun Times headline: “Racism simmers below surface on health care”

The most irresponsible headline ran over an opinion piece in the Baltimore Examiner (and other publications in the Examiner family): “Tea party turns into Klan rally”

The (New York) Daily News said, “They might want to think about renaming it the Nastea Party.”
