Why is it that Republicans are always referring to the press as "liberal?" The republicans I know always refer to the press as liberal. They say CNN and the network news broadcasts are liberal and are Obama's cheerleaders. Really? Do they really believe this? It doesn't seem that way to me. When Bush was president they always claimed that the press was out to get him and that everyone except Fox News were all against him. I just don't buy the liberal press thing. I've always felt that the press was mostly against Obama. Going back to the 2008 campaign, everytime Obama made a gaffe it was all over the place. When Rev. Wright came out everbody was all over it. Every TV station and website was plastered with Rev. Wright yelling like a lunatic, and I thought that they were trying to use this to bring down Obama. When he made the comment about people clinging to their guns & religion it was plastered all over every website & TV station around. I mean if the press was so liberal they would have buried this stuff, but they saturated the airwaves and Internet with it. It seems to me they they were trying to milk these things for all they could get to damage Obama. During the health care debate, the press was clearly against Obama and healthcare reform. Barely ever did I hear anyone in the press say anything positive about health care reform. Even the network news was nothing but negativity with regard to health care reform. All they did was trumpet the Repubs cries of "government takeover" propaganda. The "liberal" CBS evening news always had special segments promoting the Tea Party and interviewing Tea Party guys and giving them a platform for speaking out against health care. Not once can I remember them giving any airtime to supporters of healthcare reform. When Obama came out in favor of gay marriage the CBS evening news interviewed two religious people who said they had been suppoting Obama, but were not going to anymore because of his gay marriage position. Of course, they didn't show anyone else expressing support for his view. They didn't talk to anyone saying they were now going to vote for him because of his new position. They just showed the people turning against him because of his new position. I keep hearing about "White House Scandals" this week. Is Benghazi really a scandal? No, four Americans being killed by terrorists doesn't constitute a "White House scandal." It was a tragedy, but not a "scandal," and yet the "liberal" press keeps referring to these things as Whitehouse scandals. Is the IRS thing a scandal? Maybe it's an IRS scandal, but it's not the Whitehouse's fault. And yet the press keeps referring to it a a Whitehouse Scandal. If they find evidence that Obama was involved, ok then it's a Whitehouse scandal. Every time some republican fool says it's "worse than Watergate" and implies falsely that Obama is "using the IRS to target his political opponents" the press plasters this stuff all over the Internet. Funny how they are trying to create scandals out of things which really aren't scandals at all, or at least not Obama's scandals. These issues deserve attention, but the focus on these issues to the exclusion of all else is ridiculous. The repubs want the press to focus on these things and ignore everything else and the press is doing just that. The republicans will waste the taxpayers money on hearings and investigations and waste their time on trying to damage the president and the press will prop them up. There are far more important things going on that are getting ignored, and that is exactly what the repubs want. Liberal press, I think not. Maybe many years ago the press was really liberally biased, and the claim had some truth to it then. But today? I think not. Maybe they are all just trying to copy Fox News.
