Almost A Week After The VP Debate And The Media Has Yet To “Fact Check” Joe Biden

Our media is fair and objective, right?  Well then you’d think someone would want to get on this:

Not a single media source in the MSM has noted Biden’s gaffes, nor sought clarification on them. I have not seen a single “fact check” noting, for example, that no one (certainly not “we") ever “kicked Hezballah out of Lebanon,” that Article I defines the legislature and not, as Constitutional Law expert Joe Biden expertly opined, the executive, or that Pakistani missiles could hit Israel.

This is astounding. I expected them to spin and downplay these errors—but not to embargo and censor them together.

Maybe the liberal media thinks their only responsibility is to fact-check Palin and McCain and Republicans in general and that the blogs/talk radio will take care of Obama and Biden.  If that’s so (and it is pretty much the status quo), then these reporters should just drop the “we’re objective” pretense and admit what they are.

Biased.

Come on Rob.  You know that they don’t have to do this.  The blogs did it immediately after the debate and found the 14 factual errors he committed.  The MSM needs the time to attend dinner parties for Barry.  They need their strength to carry his water.

The media did “fact check” Biden. You are making shit up, or posting something someone else has said without checking the facts.

Why are conservatives so goddamn lazy? If you didn’t see a single fact check it’s because it wasn’t spoonfed to you. Just because McCain can’t use Google doesn’t mean you have to follow suit!

The Wall Street Journal did an outstanding job yesterday.  This may is out of touch with The Truth or he gets away with it from the media that are pulling for the SocialDemocrats.

This is not a surprise.

What part of “in the tank for Obama” is news.

Oh really?

Because I watched a lot of news and commentary the next day and over the following weekend and it was all about Palin’s mistakes, Palins being too cutesy, Palin being too folksey, Palin not answering questions the way the pundits liked.

I don’t remember seing a single refeence to Biden’s factual errors (except on FOX).


Grrrrrrrrrr

ellinas,

The list of Joe Biden’s mischaracterizations, misstatements, lies, and preposterous, self-serving make-believe from the VP debate can be found here.

The original list of 14 does not include the ridiculous whoppers he told about Hezbollah and Lebanon, none of which is even remotely true.

Not only did Biden demonstrate… convincingly… that he is clueless, but he did so in the areas of foreign policy and the Constitution, the two areas in which he is supposedly an expert.

Bat One. I am not defending Biden. As you may remember from my previous posts I have clearly stated my opinion about politicians. For the record here it is again: Everytime a politicians lips move, the politician is lying.
However to assert that, “Almost A Week After The VP Debate And The Media Has Yet To “Fact Check” Joe Biden”, is preposterous. I watch and listen to a variety of news sources. Biden was “fact checked” contrary to assertions made by Rob Hungry Bear and others.
