I’ve been witness to so many forms of liberal media bias (3 liberal guests and 1 conservative on a talk show, editorial boards with shifting standards depending on what helps the Democrat, fawning stories about Democrats with attack pieces about Republicans), if I listed them all, there’d be no time to sleep.
But this experience was so blatant, I had to share.
I was interviewed by a national magazine about President Obama, and gave my commentary, some critical and some laudatory. I then received an email from a “fact checker”
“The writer has told me that you weren’t exactly enamored, but he tried to adapt your comments to make it a positive piece for our readers. If you feel you’ve been misrepresented, please give me your feedback”
I almost fell over! They asked for my opinion, and they got it, but my comments didn’t match their agenda, so they changed my quotes, emailed them to me, and asked if I minded the changes?
“To make it a positive piece for our readers.”
Amazing. Suddenly with Obama in the White House, the press is mightily concerned with writing a “positive piece.”
