Media's 'Shameless' Bias by Omission - Hyscience May 23, 2012, 11:00 am
Brent Bozell is spot-on in pointing out that one would naturally think that the largest legal action in American history in defense of religious liberty would be a major news story. Yet ABC, CBS and NBC obviously don''t judge news events by their inherent importance as relates to the future of our freedoms. It's very clear that they deliver the news according to a simple formula: Does it or doesn't it advance the re-election of Barack Obama? And if it doesn't, it isn't news.
