Like in previous posts of mine, I have repeatedly pointed at the flagrant bias of the American media. Wellm I just ran across this video showing how obviously disrespectful the press corps was towards Bush, and how they show the utmost respect for Obama. Here’s one video:

Here’s another:

Man! George is fast! But back to the point. The first video just further illustrates that the press in this country is obviously biased in favor of Obama regardless of what he does. Media today is becoming like fast food and if the media outlets decide to feature sound bites and video bites of one president that are positive then a great number of the less independent minded among us will think that the president is doing a great job. What bothers me is that there are some Democrats like Richard Durbin (D-IL), Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), John Kerry (D-MA), etc. that want to limit conservative talk radio by reinstating the “Fairness Doctrine” which essentially does not allow a commentator to control the contents of his/her show. With a mainstream media that is clearly biased towards the Left, to require a conservative commentator to express views that are not his/her own is, in my opinion but not the courts, a violation of the first amendment right to free speech. Fortunately, the internet serves as a great equalizer, where ideas from both sides can be expressed freely… that is, until the liberals find a way to extend the government’s reach into this environment too.
