Compare And Contrast: MSM Coverage Of Cheney Shooting And Gore's Anti-American Diatribe

Which actually has more impact on the world?

But of course that's not the question the MSM subconsciously asks. They ask, "Which embarrasses Bush more? Which story helps the Democrats more?"

It was the month of February in 2006, they'll say in the future. That's when the sickness became inescapably evident. As they shovel the last spadeful of dirt on the mainstream media outlets that once received the most attention and respect, they will tell us the symptom was there for all to see: an embarrassing confusion about which of two stories about a vice president of the United States was worthy of major coverage.

...

The increasing partisanship of important segments of the press has been no secret, but these vice presidential stories and the dramatically different press attention that came their way is next to startling in what it tells us about leftist bias. It takes the unhinged imaginings of a Michael Moore mentality to justify it, and I don't think the public is buying. The demise of the high and mighty draws closer.
