Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?

The Mainstream Media are obviously in the tank for Barack Obama. For those of us who oppose Barack Obama and everything he stands for, it is frustrating to see the daily fawning of the press over everything Obama says, while ignoring every stupid utterance that comes out of Joe Biden's mouth [and there are plenty]. Twenty years ago, a young Republican vice-president would misspell the word "potato" and it would be grist for the liberal mill for weeks, yet when Joe Biden says FDR went on television as President when the Great Depression started [neither was true], the mainstream media was nowhere to be found to call him on it. It is frustrating for those of us who remember when journalism used to be objective.

Orson Scott Card is a Democrat and a columnist. For weeks I've been trying to find the right words to express my disgust with the current state of journalism. Lo and behold, Mr Scott wrote this column that brilliantly summarizes everything I want to express. He does it much better than I ever could. Perhaps that's why he gets paid to write while I don't .

Mr. Card is right. The Democrats and their allies in the Mainstream Media have conditioned the American people to blame every calamity on Republicans. There’s not much we who used to believe in objective journalism can do about it.
