"Is the media biased against conservatives?"

YES!!! And it will get worse each and every day until November 2012.

You guys are missing the point, as usual.

"So when Bachmann makes a mistake about a long deceased actor's birthplace, the media makes up a story about what they think she meant and runs with it even after she denies it. "

Her denial is the story, as Jon Stewart points out and as if quoted in the post then promptly ignored in order to fake "TEH ANGER" at the media bias.

Bachmann made an honest mistake and then lied about it.

Just as Sarah Palin made a mistake about Paul Revere and then lied about it.

It's nuance a 6th grader could pick up but if flies right over the heads of conservatives as they rush to play the victim card for Bachmann -- just as they quickly rush to play the victim card for Palin.

Why conservatives have to turn their female candidates into poor widdle victims is a mystery -- I guess it gets more checks from the tea party base.

But the funniest part is how right wing bloggers get suckered into it each-and-every-time.

Like I said - the bar is set at 6th grade level and you guys can't reach.

lol.

The question is not whether the media is biased against conservatives, but rather why anyone is surprised by it and why some in the GOP still seem to find it necessary to curry favor with that media?

The surprising thing about the Obama gaffe isn't that the legacy media covered it up - they've been covering for the buffoonish radical and his questionable associations ever since he hit the national scene with his 2004 speech to the Democratic Convention. Heck, the LA Times still refuses to release the video of Obama at a dinner honoring his friend the "Palestinian activist" with terrorist connections from late 2007 or early 2008. Whatever he said must be pretty darned interesting . . .

The troubling part is that it wasn't Obama winging it and ad libbing an error, it came from his prepared remarks read off TOTUS. Now, Presidential speeches are traditionally read and reread and vetted and fact-checked and read yet again by dozens of staffers before being delivered.

This is for several reasons. First of all, anything the President says can affect events in the world and the financial markets almost immediately, so it almost has the effect of instant policy. He must be very careful what he says. Also, everyone will check the facts, so they need to be right. Embarrassing the President over a stupid mistake there was plenty of time and staff to check and correct is inexcusable.

So we find that Obama's staffers are as completely incompetent as their boss. Perhaps not a total shock, but it is disturbing to realize nonetheless.

That his supporters are soulless evil zombies without an honest bone in their foul undead bodies, on the other hand, goes without saying.

Speaking of 6th grade Art, how's it going down there in Kindergarten - aka Kool Aid land?

As for Barry and his staff, one military guy or one military unit is the same as any other. To a progressive "they all look alike".

Of course they didn't report on Obama's gaffe, they're not trying to destroy Obama.

Art's slipping, he didn't get a dig in on Prosser. Apply yourself Art, or there won't be any check in the mail next week.

Wart never tires of making an ass of his self...Takes after his Obumblegaffer.

It doesn't matter, Obama is toast next year with or without the media's help.

Actually I think you'd have to be younger than a 6th grader to fall for a piece of political nonsense like the fabricated story that Bachmann was talking about Gacy. That's nearly the mental equivalent of giggling hysterically because you think girls have cooties.

What is kind of funny is that Gacy was a good Democrat who cared so much about his community and the "little people." He was even photographed with Rosalyn Carter as a reward for his good Democratic works.

The MFM is getting more entertaining as they make complete asses of themselves with their blatant extreme leftard bias.

The opportunities to ridicule these news readers without integrity are too numerous to count.

It's going to be a fun election and history will not be kind to the lying sphincters on TV.

The difference is, there's nothing funny about mixing up the heroes. How could you joke about that? What images would Stewart flash on the screen behind himself, for instance?

But mixing up John Wayne and John "Killer Clown" Gacy - that's hilarious. And there are pictures of Gacy in clown makeup.

Conservatives have no sense of humor, but a strong sense of victimhood. Boo hoo.

Umm, Bruce?

Instead of trying (pathetically) to insult conservatives, why don't you try adressing the point of the thread - the biased medai gave D'Ohbama a pass on his much more significant gaffe and made up the story about Michelle Bachmannn.

And if you won't, then STFU.

I'm not sure, but I think Obama has presented the MOH to three recipients. Considering the importance of the honor, one would think that Barry could keep three people straight. Giunta should have been particularly memorable, as he is the only living recipient for quite some time.

The fact that Obama managed to mix up these heroes speaks to his screwed-up priorities. That's what is noteworthy--not Bachmann's gaffes.

Bruce, you are right. It is not funny that the President of the United States cannot remember the name of a medal of honor winner. But just goes ahead to make political points off the dead soldier. That is sad.

Making fun of Bachman for a gaffe like Wayne is childish and you are right, sad again. Sad for the "grown up" news people.

Art W, we are still waiting for your take on Palin's emails that will bring her down and ruin our hero. Where are they? You were certain so bring it on bozo. ww

What'e even funnier is that Gacy was a Democrat party precinct captain.

Oh wait...that didn't make it into the MSM stories? I wonder why?
