NO BIAS HERE, JUST MOVE ALONG

See if you detect any bias in these quotes from MSNBC’s coverage of the President’s speech last night:

“President Bush urged Congress to enact contentious Social Security and energy legislation and confirm his controversial court nominees Thursday night, prodding lawmakers to act on an ambitious second-term agenda.”

“Contentious” and “controversial”, and that’s just from the first sentence!

“I’m not surprised that some are balking at doing hard work,” Bush said of the Republican-controlled Congress.”

I somewhat doubt it’s the REPUBLICANS he’s talking about here.

“That would mean lower payments for future retirees of middle and upper incomes than they are currently promised — a fact Bush himself did not mention in his 60-minute session with reporters in the East Room of the White House.”

Ah-ha! You can sense the smugness here. What the moron at MSNBC doesn’t understand is that people of my generation and younger have never believed that “promise” anyway, we believe there will be NO social security under the current system when we retire - none, nada, zilch, zippo.

CRAZINESS ALERT!!! As I was writing this post, jumping back and forth to the MSNBC page for quotes, the story disappeared from the MSNBC site!!! So, no link for you! But, at least we got some of the best quotes.
