Media Bias Over Hurricane Sandy Relief Pork

In the debate over the Sandy Relief bill, MSNBC again demonstrated why they earned the Pew Research title of “Most biased news outlet.” While these rabidly liberal propagandists have become, as NJ.com reports, “must-watch television for liberals around the country,” it begs the question,” Do those liberals believe all the verbal spitballs these agitpropists spew at the cameras?

I ask having endured quite a few minutes of both “Up with Chris Hayes” and “PoliticsNation” with Al Sharpton during which each show’s theme was: “Why do Republicans hate Hurricane Sandy victims?” Those two hosts wheeled in such experts as New York Representative Hakeem Jeffries, who ignorantly proclaimed that never before has a political party stymied emergency relief funds. Congress has many well-educated aides steeped in enough history to educate the representative on the many times when morally budget-conscious congressmen and women have done just that. Perhaps he would do well to seek them out before proving again that a fool best reveals himself when he opens his mouth.

I was actually expecting the knowledgeable liberal columnist E.J. Dionne to broaden the conversation by discussing the billions of pork dollars poisoning the Sandy Relief bill and perhaps excoriating the Republicans for choosing to be fiscally prudent but no, he, too went on a 180-proof liberal bias binge, waving his armchair psychology toward the approving host. As you read this a few days later, we are learning the truth, not that it matters to the MSNBC gang who are likely now spray-painting their philosophies on fresh moving targets.

The Democratic Senate loaded up so many billions of dollars in spending unrelated to the Sandy victims that the blatant political abuse of these victims outraged many Republicans.

  3. I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and guess that absolutely NO PORK was added from the LIBERTARIAN Party. I think my vote for Gary Johnson was counted, and I'm proud of. Repubs and Dems are two sides of the same coin anymore.

    Really? Name one item of pork from the Republican side?

    The shameful democrats are virtually holding the victims hostage by speculating that if the pork is removed it will hurt the legislations chances.
    Anyone who would ever admit to being a democrat in this day and age is either clueless, wanting a handout or hasn't an honest decent bone in their bodies. It's the party of incompetent sleazeballs who don't even read bills in front of them.

  6. 8:41 We are almost in agreement. Except for the fact that you blame ONLY Democrats and Not Republicans also. I believe that anyone that believes ALL Democrats are Evil and And ALL Republicans are PATRIOTS is part of the problem. If you were to change the word Democrats to "elected officials", you and I would almost totally agree. Each party has their fair share of "how did they get/stay elected" members. But to say it is all the Democrats fault or it's all the Republicans' fault is in itself faulty thinking. This mess didn't start last week or last year. This mess started WAY back when I was a wee boy. All of the complaints being slung around now are not new. Just the names have changed and the numbered have gotten bigger.
