In case there are any lingering doubts...

...about which way the mainstream media's bias lies...

The AP assigned 11 reporters to fact check Palin's book.

Rogue's Eleven - Mark Steyn - The Corner on National Review Online

No such army of crack journalists was assigned the task of fact checking Obama's tomes, Biden's book, Hillary's or Bill's memoirs, or Ted Kennedy's post mortem.

Look, I'm no Palin fan, in fact I would and will go out of my way to vote against her if she ever runs on a national level again.

That aside, this type of media bias, then people claiming with a straight face that not only does it not exist, but because of ONE network it is actually biased towards conservatives, is just absurd.

I'd really like to see the AP put 11 reporters on the job of tracking down all the outrageous claims of positive impact the stimulus is supposedly having, especially the now slowly emerging facts around the thousands of bogus job creation claims.

And only 2 AP reporters to check both of the entire health care bills - something like nearly 4,000 pages of legalese for the 2, verses around 450 pages of Palin for 11 AP reporters.

I wonder which one is more important to the people of the US.

CNN fact-checked a goddamned SNL skit. What else should we expect from the MSM?
