I Had to Laugh at this…

…as it’s yet another shining example of liberal bias by one of the big three media outlets.

Talking about areas of the nation that are recovering best from the economic slump, an article from ABCnews.com (which can be read HERE) mentions Texas as a good example.  It explains why:

“The places that are likely to recover the fastest seem to be places that have suffered the least during the recession,” says Howard Wial, who heads up research on metro and regional economies at the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program. Texas, he notes, has a fiscally stable government buttressed by oil and gas revenues and spending from Uncle Sam.

Now everyone can agree that Texas has a fiscally stable government, and it does have oil and gas revenues (as others states have various revenues from their resources).  But to claim that Texas has weathered this slump because of spending by Uncle Sam?  What?

What the article conveniently doesn’t state is that the Brookings Institute is a leading liberal think-tank.  Of all the places to get input on why Texas is doing so well, ABC went to the Brookings Institute who told them it’s because of government spending by Uncle Sam!

If you look HERE at cnnmoney.com, you’ll see in their list of ‘where the jobs are at,’ 5 out of the top 7 counties are in Texas.  Guess how many California or New York counties make the top 25?  Zero.  Does anyone really think states that have the biggest government spending in them are faring the best during this recession?  Really?  Well there are Virginia counties in the top 25, so I guess the counties next to D.C. do well (surprise, surprise).

Now, the big 3 aren’t as biased as NBC’s little sister MSNBC.  A few weeks ago I heard Rachel Maddow say that Fox continually runs bogus stories in order to make ‘white Americans afraid of black Americans.’  But to some extent, that doesn’t bother me as much as what ABC, CBS, and NBC do, and have done for decades.  The anchors and reporters at MSNBC are out-of-the-closet Leftists.  Instead of having an intellectual discussion about policy, they just bash people with opposing views as bigots. But at least they’re open about who they are.

The big 3 try to hide their bias and that’s what’s so immoral about it.

I wish one of them would move out of DC and NYC and into the Heartland.  They’d certainly gain a different perspective on the world…
