GOP Wins in Virginia and New Jersey, MSM: No Big Deal
With the victories of Republicans in Virginia and New Jersey on Wednesday, the three major networks thought that even though attempts by President Obama in stump speeches to support the Democrat candidates had virtually no affect on the outcome, the GOP haven't made any headway and that this is in no way a pre-cursor for the 2010Congressional elections.
Via Newsbusters' Brent Baker. Also the Los Angeles Times continues it's mediocrity and shrinking readership with it's transparency, highlited by Matthew Sheffield.
Of course, do I even have to mention the New York Times bias and sour grapes? Even before all the returns were in?
According to the Grey Lady, the Republican victories were due to the conservative candidates going moderate.
Even though Dierdre Scozzafava dropped out due to her liberal views and unpopularity among voters (with the help of Tim Pawlenty and Sarah Palin's endorsements of Doug Hoffman, that like the above-mentioned endorsement of Obama for NJ and VA Democrats, meant nada) Hoffman surprisingly lost to retired Air Force captain, Bill Owens. But even with that, the Times' staff saw the silver lining in Scozzafava's loss as she "still picked up 5 percent of the vote."
Do you think if that she was a conservative Republican instead of the true liberal that she is, it would have said that she "only" picked up five percent?
As Sheffield says, "No matter how well Republicans do electorally, there is always going to be a cadre of media spinners predicting sunny skies for Democrats."
