What Liberal Media?

Local edition. Here in my neck of the woods, Mike McGavick is the GOP nominee to unseat the execrable Maria "I voted for scAlito, Iraq, and the Bankruptcy Bill!" Cantwell. He's losing and he's going to lose. Today's Seattle Newspapers are carrying this front page:



Gee, notice any bias there? Any emphasis of one party or perspective over another? Like, oh, phrasing that emphasizes the weak and feminine memes regarding Dems? And how 'bout that picture, eh?

The online presence is no better. Here's the top story o' the day. Top of the page, first story on the site:



Mmm... it's GOoP GOoP GOod.

Even worse was that this debate was an undemocratic forum that should incense each and every citizen of this state. To be a part of the debate, the candidates had to prove some $1M in worth or campaign finances. To which I say - what the fuck kind of requirement is that? If they're on the ballot, they get a spot at the stage. TV is the one and only forum that can give lesser known voices a wide forum, and making the one and only televised debate subject to how much money a candidate has is both wrong for Democracy and violates the television broadcasters duty (as part of their unconstitutional grant of exclusive use of certain frequency spectrums) to the public.

Just a heinous performance all around.
