MSM Takes on Michele Bachman over…Her Foster Children.
What insightful question did CBS News have for Bachmann? Did their ace dig into one of her policy position on energy independence, taxation, the relationship between government and business, foreign policy
Heh. No. Of course not. CBS News sent a reporter to ask whether or not she and her husband really did raise 23 foster children. The question that CBS wanted her to answer, for the edification of the American public mind you, is how she defined “raise”.
I’d link the video, but CBS, in an effort to be a transparent and open media news outlet has disabled embedding so that I can’t share it with you. You’ll have to clink the link and watch for yourself.
Actually, no. You don’t have to watch it for yourself because I’m not going to link it. I’ll link to Jim Hoft’s post, where you can find a link to the video if you like, and I’ll link to Stacy McCain who restrained himself mightily about the lapdogs at CBS, but I won’t link the video. Why on Earth should I give CBS any hits? It has earned no reward for its lazy attempt to gin up another controversy against a Republican while it’s not lifted a single finger to learn anything about the past of the man who has occupied our White House for 2 1/2 years.
I know I go on sometimes here about media bias, but it’s almost impossible to consider this as anything but. There is no chance a Democratic woman would have to field questions about how good — or how long — she was a mother, yet Republican women endure them regularly. Andrew Sullivan has yet to be upbraided for his years of ridiculous speculations about Trig Palin’s parentage; in fact, he was rewarded a better gig at The Daily Beast. Now, Michele Bachmann must deal with this not even a week after she showed she might be a contender for the GOP nomination at the second debate.
It’s disgusting and we ought not stand for it.
