Stupid Media Bias Tricks-The "Having A Pisser on The George Washington Bridge Edition"

This was a huge week for scandals, but the biggest scandal was the way the mainstream media covered the news. This week Al Sharpton looked so stupid covering the polar vortex that Drudge picked up the story. It was a very cold week.

This week there was climate change hypocrisy at Time Magazine, and we learned that the Supreme Court had too many Catholics, We Saw Dennis Rodman freak out, and CNN taught us how to make Pee evaporate. One Congressman became a truther, and a Congresswoman told lies.

Chris Jansing showed her expertise at being biased, a British newspaper went after Gunny for using a gun, and a little ad exec told Joe Scarborough that Chris Christie would have been better off with a hooker than the GW Bridge.

Below are the stupid media bias tricks hinted at above plus many more 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.

So click on the links below and read about the stupid bias tricks of the last week:

Forget Christie--It's Time to End Barack Obama's Culture of Bullying and Retribution
Over the past two days the media has been dominated by the scandal in Chris Christie's office, and one phrase heard over and over is "Christie has set a culture of bullying and retribution in his office which caused the scandal." What was disingenuous regarding this argument is the same statement has never been made about Barack Obama. Christie may have earned the label of being a bully, but our thin-skinned President has turned it into an art form.
