Liberal Media Bias...Rides Again!
Massachusetts Lt. Governor Kerry Healey is calling on John Kerry to resign from the Senate.
I scan the Yahoo! headlines throughout the day to get a quick idea of what is going on and I'd expect to find something like this there. But alas, no such luck. Currently, much more important stories like Michael Moore seeking a PG-13 rating for his latest pack of lies are taking up that valuable front page real estate.
Now, my Journalism degree is from Wisconsin, not Missouri or some hoity toity Ivy League school, but I can't believe my newshound instincts are that far out of whack. When the Lt. Governor of Massachusetts calls for the soon-to-be Presidential nominee to step down because he isn't doing his job, that's news.
The news article itself is equally damning to those who pretend the media has no bias. The article is framed as a Republican plot to snatch Kerry's seat and replace him with an interim Republican Senator.
Those who disagree with me will point out that in the second paragraph it's noted that "Of the 112 Senate votes this year, Kerry has voted just 14 times, according to an Associated Press tally." But, I'll trump them again because the article fails to note the consequences of Kerry's absences. For example, Kerry missed a vote on extending unemployment benefits. The measure failed by one vote.
This is what he calls, "serving the citizens of Massachusetts and the country in the proposals that I've laid out."? Now, you can disagree or agree with extending unemployment benefits, but you can't debate where Kerry stands on that issue. You know what he would have voted for. Maybe a Kerry presidency wouldn't be so bad after all, since he can't even be counted on to push forward his own agenda.

Romney calling for Kerry to resign is "news"? And you know this because you have a degree in journalism? Time to ask for your money back for that degree. Morons are so funny! |
