The media is showing America their bias today
With the Bin Laden tape coming out, there was a liberal way to spin it, a conservative way to spin it, and an objective way to report it.

The liberal way to spin it would be for all the analysts to scream and holler that his statement proves that Bush didn't do enough to protect us from 9/11, and he's not doing enough to protect us from Al Qaeda now, that the continued existance of Bin Laden can only help Kerry at the polls.

The objective way to report it would have been to air the statement, then continue on with other news developments of the day.

The conservative way to spin it would be to say that because Bin Laden is attacking Bush, this means Bin Laden wants Kerry to win the election because Bush is too tough on him.


And which way is this item being reported I wonder?
