Laura sees an agenda worthy of a 'shove'

[russian33]

DENVER — First lady Laura Bush considers much of the national media biased against Republicans, but she empathizes with Democrat Teresa Heinz Kerry, who told a journalist to "shove it."

During an interview with The Washington Times, Mrs. Bush laughed incredulously when asked whether the press was fair and impartial in its coverage of a conservative such as President Bush. Her press secretary, Gordon Johndroe, laughed even more heartily.

"I mean, I think it's obvious in some parts of the media — some newspapers, some television networks — that there's a bias," she said late Tuesday. "Or an agenda — maybe I should say an agenda."

The first lady said she has resigned herself to the reality that conservatives seeking the presidency must work harder than liberals in order to compensate for the liberal bias of the press.

That theory has been confirmed by influential journalists themselves. For example, Newsweek Assistant Managing Editor Evan Thomas recently acknowledged that the press wants Sen. John Kerry to win and thinks that is responsible for 15 percent of his support. ABC News political director Mark Halperin mused whether the press would root for the Massachusetts Democrat as vigorously as it did for Bill Clinton in 1992.

3. Yep

Hmmmmmm. Let me muse over the fact of whether President Bush is a flesh eating zombie. Muse Muse Muse. Could he be a flesh eating Zombie? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Now that I've finished my musing, Bill Sammon (author of this article) can take my musing and use it as proof that President Bush is a flesh eating zombie.

"I mean, I think it's obvious in some parts of the media — some newspapers, some television networks — that there's a bias," she said late Tuesday. "Or an agenda — maybe I should say an agenda."

Is she talking about Fox, CNN, MSNBC? :eyes:

7. Notice She did not say biased in which direction

Leaving it up to the reader to interpret her comments. If later on it is proven that the media is actually biased in favor of the Republicans, you STILL can't call them on the lie.

Evil, evil, evil, stoopid! :nuke:
