A Left Leaning Lilt?

(Click on the above picture to enlarge it)

Notice how one editor simply states the facts:
Who: "President" (his formal title) "Bush" (His given name)
What: "Vetoes" "Bill"

The other editor:
Who: "Bush" (Formal, respectful title is eschewed)
What: "Vetoes" "Popular" "Bill" (By cutting respectful title, space is gained for editorial perspective)

I found this perfect juxtaposition of two headlines (see above) in my personalized iGoogle homepage. I think it perfectly depicts an example of how a liberal bent in the editorial room almost unknowingly influences media. Multiply this by hundreds of stories a day being heralded through a myriad of media sources and suddenly we are happily carried along by the buoying drumbeat of a liberal cadence.


I'm not one to find a "Liberal Bias" behind every bush. But to torture an old saying: that doesn't mean there isn't some liberal bias behind some bushes - especially if that bush is President Bush.


I'm not a Bush fan on all fronts (Where's the fence?, So, still sticking by that war strategy?, You actually signed McCain-Fiengold???). But he is President, he was freely elected (TWICE), was elected with more votes than any other President in US history, was the first President in decades to be elected with a majority of popular votes at all, has executed his office with dignity. Perhaps he is due just a modicum of respect prior to potshotting him with a hidden agenda and headlined opinion.
