Stupid mainstream media bias tricks: The racist, homophobic, misogynist, puppy-hating edition

truthometerThis 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 some my favorite stupid media bias tricks from the last seven days. (There are too many to fit in a single blog post.) Headlines link to the full article.

‘LA Times’ publishes faulty feel-good story about Obamacare state exchanges

Monday’s Los Angeles Times reported “good news” for President Obama and his signature legislation.
