Tomorrow is Media Bias Sunday! Or as I like to call it, Librul Media My Ass Sunday. Previously I kept a running tally of all things unfair, unbalanced for years via the infamous TPC Media Bias Sunday Talk scoreboard. Now the series is a regular feature at Radio Or Not.
But wait. Where’s McCain this week? He’s M.I.A.! What? Is he napping? Screaming at kids to get off his lawn? Plotting to bomb, bomb, bomb Iraq again? Or Iran? Or Syria? Or Russia? Preparing for yet another investigation into BENGHAZI!!!!!! ? Nevermind. His BFF, stand-in, and fainting couch aficionado Li’l Lindsey Graham got booked instead! Whew! Close one!
Time to take a sneak preview of what’s coming up on the Big Media Bias Sunday Talker Line-Up, per the Los Angeles Times… okay? Okay.
This is not a complete list of political guests and is subject to change at the whim of the Corporate Media. I try not to include panels, because they usually include mostly Republicans, and if there are “Democrats,” they’re about as “liberal” as, well, Harold Ford.
And as you may have noticed, Fox is not included, because, well come on, what’s the point?
ABC’s “This Week” — Gov. Scott Walker (R).
NBC’s “Meet the Press” — Pre-empted by coverage of the French Open.
CBS’ “Face the Nation” — Gov. Chris Christie (R); Mayor Bill De Blasio (D); Rick Perry (R). Rep. Michael McCaul (R).
CNN’s “State of the Union” — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R); Rick Perry (R); Sen. Joni Ernst (R); Sen. Tom Cotton (R); Lincoln Chafee (D).
It’s time to do the math:
Red Rs + Red Rs, carry the pi, divided by D, times Bias, minus even-handedness… calculating…
Total: 8 Rs, 2 Ds. Please feel free to check the addition and political affiliations.
There it is: Your librul media at work.
CNN’s “State of the Union” — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R); Rick Perry (R); Sen. Joni Ernst (R); Sen. Tom Cotton (R); Lincoln Chafee (R-Lite)
In the Times, they still called him an Independent. I wrote to them and explained he went from R to I to D, but they didn’t bother to add it to their “For the record” corrections section. Nice, huh?
