Russert is Wrong About Wright

It is so much fun to dig into the double standards and contradictions provided by members of our elite media. Today's example: Tim Russert.

The Seminal's Chris Edelson catches Russert's lack of balance, focusing on Rev. Wright's connection to Senator Obama while once again completely failing to mention Sen. McCain's connections to radical pastors who say outrageous things. As Edelson writes:

The only meaningful difference I see between Parsley and Wright is that Tim Russert doesn't breathlessly exclaim over Parsley's every utterance. If Russert is right about the uniqueness of Rev. Wright, it is only because he applies one standard when it comes to Obama and another for McCain. Can anyone shame him into doing real journalism?

No. Tim Russert knows no shame.

That's your so-called liberal media, hard at work.

Comments

thanks for the post--I keep hoping that some day I'll wake up and Tim Russert and Wolf Blitzer will be critically examining every word Parsley ever spoke
