MSM Reporters--Aroused, Gushing, Frothing

Have you noticed yet the difference between the manner in which the mainstream media reported the Democratic National Convention and the way they've handled the Republican National Convention?

This week during the RNC, Couric, Gibson, Williams, Cooper, Olbermann, and company have run hit-piece after hit-piece on the McCain ticket, particularly against Sarah Palin. The interviews they have conducted have been negative in tone, and their interviewees have been decidedly negative in their assessment of Palin.

During the Democrat's Convention last week, however, at one point I actually thought that the female reporters were sexually aroused as they covered Obama. I even thought the male reporters exhibited signs of arousal.

They gushed, frothed, giggled, laughed, clapped, cheered, and worshipped right along with the Democratic delegates.

I would be willing to bet money that had Katie Couric stood up, you would have found a wet spot in her seat. And had Chris Matthews stood up, you would have probably found he had a 'woodie.'

The entire lot of them had the appearance of being drunken with adoration of the Obamessiah.

These are not reporters. These are partisans who are working to get the Democrats elected. This is why, if the 'Fairness Doctrine' ever returns, we should DEMAND equal time on the major networks to respond to the blatant bias of their 'news reporters.'

The entire lot belongs in the dust-bin of journalistic failure.

South Carolina Gets One Right on Concealed Carry

The South Carolina legislature passed a bill that keeps private the names of citizens in the state who hold concealed handgun licenses. This is of vital importance given that in other states, liberal journalists and newspapers have had a field-day with publishing the names.

We retaliated right here on The Liberty Sphere by publishing the names, addresses, and phone numbers of columnists, editors, and reporters who were responsible for such a blatantly irresponsible handling of such information--information that put some persons, particularly women who are victims of abusive spouses, at great risk.

The state of South Carolina, I am happy to say, decided to nip in the bud any such trend by making it illegal for a news organization to publish the names of persons who are licensed, legal carriers of concealed firearms.

We congratulate the state legislature for doing the right thing.
