ABC News Bias

GLYNN REYNOLDS:

"THIS DEBATE 'FACT CHECK' from ABC News notes that Sarah Palin fluffed the name of a general in Afghanistan but -- as I predicted last night -- ignores Joe Biden's multiple Constitutional mistakes. Putting the President in Article I, and claiming that the VP only presides over the Senate in case of a tie would seem to be at least as significant, especially given that Biden has been in the Senate since before I hit puberty, and is, you know, runing for Vice President. Perhaps he should study up on what the job involves. And perhaps the press should try reporting on what he says more . . . ."

It seems a shame that we can't expect the news industry to give us news without bias. On the other hand, hoping for such a thing may be rather utopian. After all, I've read accounts of times when Ben Franklin would pen (and publish in his own paper) criticims of himself under an assumed name so that he could later lambast his critic under his own name.
