| The "Neutral Story Line" and How The Media Uses It To Justify Its Perpetual Game of "Guess That Party!" »
August 12, 2010
Ann Coulter: In 300 Stories On The Bell Salary Scandal, Only One Mentioned The Party Affiliations of the CorruptKeyser Sosa said the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn't exist. The greatest trick the MFM plays is convincing the world that corrupt Democrats don't exist. For if they are Democrats, they are not corrupt; and if they are corrupt, then, in the media's telling at least, they are not Democrats. In the greatest party-affiliation cover-up since the media tried to portray Gary Condit as a Republican, the media are refusing to mention the party affiliation of the thieving government officials in Bell, Calif. Unbelievable. As I have said a thousand times before, this is the clearest, most inarguable example of media bias there is. There should be a simple rule -- a stylebook rule -- dictating that a politician caught in corruption should have his party affiliation noted in the first paragraph. Or by the second. But the MFM refuses to impose such a stringent rule. They want to keep the freedom to only note the party affiliation of corrupt Republicans while not mentioning it at all with regard to corrupt Democrats. They want, as they call it, the freedom to apply their judgment and examine context. In their judgment and in context, they always find that the party affiliation of corrupt Republicans is relevant, but the party affiliation of corrupt Democrats never is. Without such a rule dictating evenhandedness and similar treatment of similar situations, they are allowed to use "context" and "judgment" to make decisions case-by-case, and, surprise, that judgment always runs the exact same way. This is the simplest and easiest thing to fix. It requires nothing but a one sentence addition to the style guide. It would go a long way to restraining the impulse for bias by adhering to an external rule, no "judgment" required. Not only do they refuse to add such a rule, they refuse to even explain why they refuse to add it. They will not dignify that question with a response. They will not lower themselves to answering it. Howie Kurtz writes a column a week on media behavior -- and sometimes touches the subject of bias. (Generally to provide "context" justifying biased media decisions.) Has he ever addressed this question? About the media's refusal to identify corrupt Democrats as Democrats? Not even a refusal, actually -- they won't even address the question at all. It has become a running joke that whenever the party affiliation isn't mentioned, you know god-damn well it's a Democrat. But the media is content to be a running joke.
