Media Bias Alert!
Courtesy of the awful Associated Press (via the Ventura County Star) comes this classic example of the bias the media will never admit it has.
Check out the opening of this article on the upcoming Super Tuesday votes, "Convoluted primary rules may make for a voter free-for-all."
WASHINGTON — When it comes to presidential primaries, Democrats and Republicans play by different rules.
One party likes to share. The other, not so much.
Isn't that precious? One political party believes in caring, sharing and fairness. The other is selfish and greedy.
Care to guess which party the AP deems the Care Bear Party, and which one is the party of Scrooge, Mordor and Doom?
It's entirely possible to write an impartial, fair article explaining the difference between the way Republicans and Democrats pick their candidates, without snark -- but to do that requires a journalist who isn't a partisan hack.
And that's apparently beyond the hiring practices of the Associated Press.
Lame.
