2008 California Election Forum

The Media Research Center recently handed out its awards for the worst journalism of 2006. Here are some highlights:

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, September 11, 2006, at the World Trade Center: “Who has left this hole in the ground? We have not forgotten, Mr. President. You have. May this country forgive you.”

This is almost as bad as his statement on October 18, 2006, when Olbermann said that the Bush presidency is more dangerous to our liberty than the enemy it claims to protect us from.

What? More dangerous than terrorism, communist dictators and radical Islamic countries developing weapons of mass destruction?

Another award goes to Jack Cafferty and CNN (better known as the Clinton News Network).

On May 11, 2006, Cafferty said liberal Republican and Bush critic Senator Arlen Spector (R-PA) might be the only person standing between us and a full-blown dictatorship in this country.

This is journalism?

I don’t want to bore you with the crazy journalism from the liberal establishment of NBC and CBS. But let’s end with the award to ABC’s Diane Sawyer for her comments on October 19, 2006, at a North Korean school:

“[It is] a world away from the unruly individualism of any American school...Ask them about their country and they can’t say enough.” Then the clip showed a North Korean girl saying “We are the happiest children in the world.”

Do we have to tell Diane that North Korea is a repressive communist dictatorship? A people-starving, Christian-killing country? A place where dissentients are jailed (or killed)? Not to mention a place that is one of the greatest dangers to world peace and freedom existing today?

The bias of the media seems to be getting worse, not better.
