What Media Bias?

February 27th, 2008

My wife had to call me at work to inform me that the today show is currently doing a fluff piece on how great Barack Obama is because he still does his own shopping. They have an expert and everything…

(*cough*)

That’s hard hitting journalism for you.

Ed Morrissey investigating claims vs reality in Obama and Clinton.

They both received tens of thousands of dollars from lobbyists in order to make it easier for foreigners to compete in American markets. Hillary’s change made it tougher on American tomato farmers to compete against foreign farmers, while Obama’s allowed the Japanese to expand their competition against American pharmaceuticals, although at least it created jobs in this country.
How did they manage to do that? A little-known rule in Congress allows members to create exceptions in tariff laws every two years, individually, somewhat akin to earmarks. Basically, this process exists to sell Congressional influence to the highest bidder. Lobbyists can make a fortune for their clients with a little down payment to a single Senator or Representative.

What ever happened to no lobbyists having control?

Can anyone say Rezko? It’s a British Newspaper, so it must be true.
