Carol Cannon, WH reporter, Admits 08 election bias

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

"In the 2008 election, we took sides, straight and simple, particularly with regard to the vice presidential race. I don't know that we played a decisive role in that campaign, and I'm not saying the better side lost. What I am saying is that we simply didn't hold Joe Biden to the same standard as Sarah Palin, and for me, the real loser in this sordid tale is my chosen profession." Carl Cannon - Long Time WH Reporter. LINK

Okay, so a rightwing mouthpiece confesses for all the media? Sounds a little fishy, to say the least...

The looney Left took sides??? Say it isn't so!!!!

Here's the actual Op-Ed piece, in its entirety:

Sarah 'Barracuda' Palin and the Piranhas of the Press -- Politics Daily

And Cannon isn't a right-winger.

I edited your link into the OP. Thank you.

GASP! I would never have guessed!

Of course there's bias. Anyone with one eye and a brain knows it.

Cannon's not right wing. AND he's being quoted directly. If he didn't say it, I imagine he'd deny it.

Okay, you guys are right. The media was so tough on Sara Palin. Just look at how Katie Couric, a serious journalist, asks these real tough questions of former Gov. Palin:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nokTjEdaUGg]YouTube - Palin On Foreign Policy[/ame]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9go38MgZ4w8]YouTube - Palin: I Read All the News[/ame]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txfqWzGMgmY&feature=related]YouTube - Sarah Palin Talks Bailout Proposal[/ame]

And here she is talking war strategy and lying about air raids in Afghanistan killing innocent civilians:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICH77bufCe0]YouTube - Palin / Biden debate Afghanistan @ Washington University[/ame]

Now, I'm not saying ol'Joe Biden is without flaw and can make a real ass out of himself, but really? Sarah Palin is an idiot. Joe can be an idiot, but he has had a very successful political career. He can't be that stupid. He also wasn't a media sensation.

The things that Fox news has reported and said about Barack Obama are far worse than anything the so-called "liberal" media has ever said or reported about Sarah Palin. Even Fox news reported this about Sara Palin:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvj-Xr0irhE]YouTube - FNC's Liz Trotta Slams Sarah Palin![/ame] calling her inarticulate and under-educated! And that she has only encouraged the media with her superficiality and false-image when really she has simply used her "good looks and gender" to get ahead in the political arena. Here is Sean Hannity really being tough on Sarah Palin and she still comes across as an idiot! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU90Z6VBEk0]YouTube - Sarah Palin Interview with Sean Hannity -- Alaska Governor Speaks with FOX News Channel [1/2][/ame]

She fed the fodder folks. Get over your poster child for Down's Syndrome.

I did not intend this as a "Ohhhh poor sara palin thread" I inteded it as a "The media's bias is blatant, disgusting, and lame" thread.

I should have known better when wording my OP.

I'm a liberal. The media is central. You're a conservative. From your perspective the media is liberal. From mine, its mainstream, meaning a little of both liberal and conservative (except MSNBC which is more liberal and FOX with is more conservative). Are you going to tell me that FOX news really IS fair and balanced? From your perspective it might SEEM that way. But from mine, its blatantly, disgustingly, and lamely biased. So now, perhaps, you can see outside of yourself and realize that the media is biased, just not more liberal or conservative, and it just depends on who the reporter writing the story is and what their perspective is (except MSNBC and FOX).

 

[AllieBaba]

You see the media as central because your bias is theirs. And you can't recognize it. It's a cognitive failing of the entire left.

 

[AllieBaba]

But now I have to laugh at the idea of Katie Couric as a "serious" journalist.

 

[WillowTree]

As if we needed her freaking confession! Jeez.

When I went to bed last night, the media had a liberal bias. Now they are 'central'. How did that happen?

Well, duh. Thank you Captain Obvious, Carl Cannon.

I figured that statement was so obviously ridiculous that you'd know it to be sarcstic. Katie Couric is nothing close to a serious journalist. That's what makes former Gov. Palin's performance in the interviews that much more appalling.

Wrong. I see the media as central because I am MORE left than the media. You see it as liberal because it is more left than you. Get it? What, do you think FOX is centrist, Allie?
