Michael Lewis on the President for Vanity Fair

Wait, Sarah Palin wrote a Newsweek cover story?

What you perceive as liberal bias is really just media on media crime. Whatever you think about our alleged biases might be, as BORG-like apparatus, there is nothing we enjoy more than shredding the stupid, paper-thin argument one of our own "celebrity journalists" is making, regardless of position.

 

It always tickles me to see how sensitive that liberals are to the liberal media bias accusation. They love to site the few and far between conservative articles as exhibit A .

 

Well, this thread was fun while it lasted.

 

Barack Obama but out a couple of autobiographies full of "composite girlfriends" and made up scenes.

His autobiography was the basis for his political career. And, rather than investigate it, the press lapped it up.

When Sarah Palin published her autobiography, the Washington Post assigned an army of fact checkers to go through it.

This latest episode is just an example of the media rushing in to prop up the President. When's the last time a glowing article about the President was put under the microscope?

Ad for shredding "paper thin arguments"? Give me a break. The media is less open to scrutiny than almost any other industry.

And, members of the media hate it when bloggers and sites like Deadspin point out their mistakes.

 

We need a 5th estate.
