What Liberal Media?
"U.S. media coverage of last year's election was three times more likely to be negative toward President Bush than Democratic challenger John Kerry, according to a study released Monday," Reuters reports:
The annual report by a press watchdog that is affiliated with Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism said that 36 percent of stories about Bush were negative compared to 12 percent about Kerry, a Massachusetts senator.
Now, a newsman might say in his industry's defense that the media were simply reporting the facts, and the haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat, who by the way served in Vietnam, was simply a more appealing candidate than President Bush. Which we guess would explain why Kerry won . . .

Keep in mind, this is from al-Reuters. But of course, the mainstream media are not left-leaning!

French-looking Massachusetts Democrat?
You sir, are a racist.
I fart in your general direction.
The French are a race? Interesting.
Actually, that part you quoted was all part of the OpinionJournal.com piece that I linked to.
I hope, given the Monty Python line, that you're attempting to be funny, but I can't tell.
