The MSM is still staunchly conservative. Not a single network reported on the Democratic response to Bush’s speech Wednesday night.
Yet last night, while channel surfing, I saw extensive coverage of an anti-war protest in New York on one of the local stations. It was a lot more than the typical blip, it included a lot of respectful film (no crazies), signs, mothers of soldiers, and also mentioned the large number of protests going on nationwide.
This is the first time I’ve seen neutral-to-positive reporting of anti-war protests on a mainstream news show.
To be fair, Durbin’s response was quite lame. Very Vilsack of him, actually.
AND IT’S ABOUT FREAKIN’ TIME, TOO!!
