The subtle bias of the "liberal" media...


The bias is nowhere more obvious than with the promotion of Hispanic candidates, ie Marco Rubio.

Why? Because the "liberal" media understands that they cannot win without Hispanic votes. They need an Hispanic on the next presidential ticket in the worst way. It is a necessity.

Watch the way they promote Marco Rubio. They really don't like Ted Cruz but they would take him if necessary.

In the last debate, they were successful in promoting Rubio at the expense of Jeb Bush. Because Rubio is more valuable to the success of the Republican Party than is Jeb Bush.

This promotion of Rubio will continue. It will be slow and subtle to the average voter. They will not even notice it is happening. But Rubio will continue to "impress" in the debates.

It doesn't matter if he deflects and distorts his responses to legitimate questions. It doesn't matter if he outright lies about his record. It is the manner in which he lies. He lies in a strong and forceful manner, which we should interpret as the actions and words of a "strong leader".

That is the bias of the "liberal media".
