Great points, but I wonder if this dude will also criticize the Dem convention coverage.

Probably, considering there may very well be even more journalists there.

Just seems like the supposedly neutral criticism against conventions in general tends to be timed to coincide more with the GOP convention than with the Dem convention.

Question:  Which convention was first?

It still seems a little like a persecution complex.

I wonder how much of the supposed "Liberal media bias" is just paranoia.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Less than you think, more than the people who watch Fox News think.

Then again, the Tea Party isn't a victim of liberal bias.  They're victims of fact-based bias.

Um that was what he did.  Read the article.  He was critisizing covering the conventions in general.

Quote"The reason they are for gay marriage is that it is an issue of liberty for people to have the freedom to do what they want ... but we oppose gay marriage because it threatens liberty," he said.

He offered two examples of businesses whose freedoms were trumped by what he calls the gay agenda. First, he said several mayors are trying to keep Chick-fil-A restaurants out of their cities because the company's devout Christian owners oppose gay marriage. In another example, he said, the New Mexico Civil Rights Commission fined Christian photographer Elaine Huguenin for refusing to photograph a lesbian couple's commitment ceremony.

"The gay agenda is a threat to religious liberty. It is a danger to the liberty that the party stands for ... and it's tyranny that's being launched against businesses," Mr. Fischer said.

LOL we must use the power of the government to manage the personal lives of millions of people because some Democrats are behaving badly eh?  Yeah that is liberty for you.  The twisted logic of anti-freedom folks is pretty sad.

John Kasich just said Mittens as President would make "a shinier America".

Haven't figured out what that means just yet.

Don't forget the bit about Biden being a shitty golfer.  That was pertinent :D

Watching PMSNBC again-- just couldn't stay away.  Chris Matthews keeps saying he likes Kasich because he's a "blue collar guy" :huh: , Special Ed is frothing over Kasich not deserving Ohio's turnaround, and Rev. "Resist We Much" Sharpton is wandering off on his own.  Madcow is a little subdued compared to last night.

:lol:

I give the bastard credit. After his stumble trying to fuck with the cops and firefighter unions, he's improved quite a bit.

Governor Transvaginal Ultrasound wasn't too bad; "job killing policies from Washington" was a nice touch.

Scott Walker still looks like a mongoloid with Downs Syndrome, though.

Jesus, they're still running that "We built this" thing into the ground.  Gotta love feeding the groundlings. :bleeding:

Really? You're using South Carolina as premier example of industry?  Really?
