Media Bias
Glen Johnson, covering the 2008 presidential election for Associated Press, opens his report today with this line:
“When the hostages had been released and their alleged captor arrested, a regal-looking Hillary Rodham Clinton strolled out of her Washington home, the picture of calm in the face of crisis.”
Is this guy in the tank for Clinton or what?

And, not satisfied that he had kissed her tail enough with that opening graf, AP reporter Glen Johnson then returned to his unbounded praise for the candidate -- her understanding and respect of the chain of command for those actually doing the work.
"At the same time, the woman striving to move from former first lady to the first female president was eager to convey that she knew the traditional lines of command and control in a crisis, even if the events inside the storefront on North Main Street were far short of a world calamity.
"They were the professionals, they were in charge of this situation, whatever they asked me or my campaign to do is what we would do," Clinton said."
Respect for the chain of command of workers?
Yeah . . . kind of like intentionally and falsely trumping up criminal charges against the head of the travel office in the White House, Billy Ray Dale, and seven employees in all, so that she could force him out and put in her hack friends?
Robert Ray, the Special Counsel investigating at the time, concluded that Hillary had indeed lied to investigators, but unfortunately he declined to prosecute her.
Is that the kind of respect for workers that Glen is now talking about?
And then Glen offer us this sickening bit of trumped up "news":
"Along with taking charge while giving the professionals free rein, Clinton offered up a third dimension to her crisis character: humanity. She said she felt 'grave concern' when she first heard the news of the hostage-taking."
A third dimension to her crisis character? GRAVE CONCERN!
Would all those who would not have felt "grave concern" under the circumstances, please take one step forward? What, no volunteers?
And finally, folks, Glen Johnson informs us that she swiftly employed that grandest of Presidential skills, "the national teaching opportunity!"
"She buttressed it with one final message. Clinton sought to use the sad moment as a national teaching opportunity, another skill often employed by presidents."
Oh, wait . . . you forgot one, Glen . . . Clinton's campaign infiltrating and demagoguing the other side's debate (CNN) with a plant whose sole purpose was to harangue the participants with questions about gays serving in the military.
You are absolutely spot-on with this post! This is going to be a long year with posterior-kissing jerks like Glen Johnson "covering" the Presidential campaign.
