Here's a subtle example of media bias.

[Bullshot]

In Friday's Lima News, (A right wing rag if there ever was one. They're a "Freedom Newspaper" which subscribes to the droning of the Cato Institute.) a headline read that Congressional candidates Mike Oxley and opponent Ben Konop spent a total of $1.6 million in their recent campaign.

Oxley is the incumbent Republican and one of the biggest, if not the biggest whores in Washington. He spends most of his time on junkets to exotic places around the world, paid by special interest groups which want things done a certain way.

By reading the headline, you'd think that Oxley and Konop's spending was fairly even. But, out of the $1.6 million total, Oxley spent $1.4 million. His "campaign" was primarily an oversaturation of radio and TV ads in which alleged stooges in his district gave him credit for the good weather days we enjoyed last summer, for the state championships local high school teams won , but you get the idea.

He probably showed his butt-ugly face in the district more in the last six weeks of the campaign than he showed up in the previous 20 years combined (he lives in Virginia, not his congressional district). Konop gave Oxley the biggest scare of his congressional career, compelling him to drag his lazy ass to the district a little more often than he would like, and taking away his precious time that he would have normally spent in Europe, Hawaii or wherever his big contributors wanted to wine and dine him.

3. All too typical

Mindless pursuit of "balance" toward Democrats, totally letting conservatives say whatever they want.
