Buzz Bissinger: My Liberal Reporter Friends Called Me a Traitor For Endorsing Romney

Buzz Bissinger is a former reporter (with the Philly Inquirer) and "Friday Night Lights" author. He got a lot of liberal static online for endorsing Romney, but the most telling static came from his liberal reporter buddies.

"There’s no doubt in my mind that there’s a definite liberal bias in the mainstream media…You are simply not expected, when you’re a journalist and a writer, to endorse a Republican. And don’t tell me it does not seep into the coverage. I mean, you look at The New York Times, you look at their editorial today on Afghanistan, you would feel it’s the Republicans’ fault we’re still there, but that’s Obama’s decision. It does seep in, and I know because as a journalist it seeped in when I wrote for the Philadelphia Enquirer."

Howie Kurtz doesn't like that at all, and insists that he doesn't know the politics of a bunch of liberal reporters who are obviously liberal.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney just might be the man who can save America, says... Piers Morgan.

And... Duran Duran's John Taylor says Biden's a "dick," likes Ryan.

What?

I've never seen so many fact checkers in the media after last night. Maybe we getting wise to the lies.. or creative exagerrations— John Taylor (@thisistherealJT) October 12, 2012

In response to a question about Ryan's Ayn Rand phase, Taylor says:

had one once, too.. it's like Dali. You gotta go thru it
