Wizbang this morning links to an analysis by David Limbaugh of the Tim Russert interview with Condi Rice. David Limbaugh shines a devastating light into the dark corner of media bias and the way popular opinion is shaped through manipulation. A must read.
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I would like to think that certain newsmedia figures do not intend to be biased, but are simply shallow thinkers, or unaware of their own biases, or repeating media cliches. But over the last few years it has become impossible for me to give the benefit of the doubt any longer. I think some of these folks must be aware of what they are doing.

My reaction: Do we expect that Russert is going to ask the hard questions and then also provide the easy answers? All of those things that Limbaugh said in rebuttal to Russert, Condi could have said.
How about a: "Well, Tim, there you go again."
Ronald Reagan faced a media that was twice as hostile, and he had no back up from Fox News, the conservative blogosphere or talk radio. Reagan did it by sheer grit, intelligence, confidence in what he believed, good humor, good nature and stamina.
Conservatives need to get tough and stop whining. We always say we are the party of ideas, let's get out there and articulate our ideas.
One more thing: I am not saying that the MSM is not left-leaning. Obviously, they are left-leaning. Why do we constantly treat that fact as a news story? That is not dog bites man; it is the same old same old.
Yes. They are left-leaning. They are trying to destroy the Bush administration. An alarming number of the MSM are willing to contribute to a disaster in Iraq so that they can prove that they really are a lot smarter than Bush.
Okay. Forewarned is forearmed. Get your game face on. Stay true to what you believe. And just win, baby.
