It’s hilarious how liberal news people try to sound “unaffiliated” in interviews. Ruth Sheehan of The News & Observer is attempting that fraud again right now on the Bill LuMaye show on WPTF. You know it’s occurring when a reporter uses the “well, both sides do it” and “shouldn’t we be more concerned with important issues.”
I can’t tell if she’s prevaricating or if she actually believes that Obama’s relationship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers was of the “they crossed paths” variety. I’m beginning to think some liberal journalists actually believe this stuff because they read only their own newspapers, where you’ll never find the “other side of the story.”
An example: I spent the weekend with a liberal friend from California who, during dinner, asked, “Why did John McCain even bring Joe the Plumber up?” He actually was unaware of the confrontation between Joe and Obama, which Obama initiated, in Joe’s front yard. He thought the first anyone had heard of Joe was when McCain brought him up in the debate. That’s what he gets for watching CNN and reading the LA Times, I guess.
I think Sheehan’s view of the world is similarly truncated and distorted.
OH MY!!!: Speaking of Joe the Plumber, she just said, “It wasn’t the media who did the background checks.” Are you kidding me? Does she read anything other than The N&O?
