LOSERS

Conservatives and Republicans are no strangers to liberal bias in Big media. The New York Times hasn’t endorsed a Republican candidate for President since Dwight Eisenhower (That means they endorsed Walter Mondale and Jimmy Carter – twice). But, the blantentness of the LA Times in the past couple of days was just over the top. In the LA Weekly, Bill Bradley reports that Gray Davis’ campaign had prior knowledge of the details of the groping story. That explains the immediate blitz by the Davis campaign the morning of the story. This supposed “super secret” story somehow magically made it into the hands of the Davis camp before the story came out. Bradley also mentions how the LA Times buried the story of the huge Arnold rally, under-reported the number of people there and LIED about the protestors drowning out Arnold.

The compressed schedule of this campaign forced the liberal media to be sloppy and less circumspect in their campaign for Democrats under the guise of news. The Los Angeles Times threw all of their cards on the table and it might just work. But at what cost? 400 subscribers have cancelled their subscriptions (just a drop in the bucket for sure, but still enough to make the news) and thousands of angry phone calls came in over their Arnold coverage. It just may turn out the two big losers today will be Gray Davis and the Los Angeles Times.
