Stupid Mainstream Media Bias Tricks; The Racist, Homophobic, Misogynist, Puppy-Hating Edition

 This was a big week for lies and nastiness from the mainstream media, political wonks and  progressives. This was the week where Martin Bashir apologized, but Chris Cuomo didn't think he was that wrong,  the tea party killed Kennedy, Oprah called us racist, Bush got blamed for Iran and the LA Times kind of fibbed about the Obamcare exchanges.

If the temperature went down near your house it may have been because Media Matters lied about Global Warming, investor Steve Rattner taught us why we had to read the fine print, and comedian Jim Norton got very serious about trashing the Faux Reverend Al Sharpton.  MSNBC may be telling Alec Baldwin to run away, Chuck Todd told Dems not to run away, and Sarah Palin told Matt Lauer to stay away.

Below are my favorite stupid media bias tricks from the last seven days. Headlines are linked to the full article (and will open a new window).  When it is a broadcast story the video/audio will also be found at the end of the link.
