Shocking Associated Press right wing bias on Kerry vs. Bush campaign vids
Edited on Wed Aug-04-04 03:57 PM by Democat
Look at the undeniable bias by the Associated Press.

The first article is on the Bush video released by the Democratic Party. The AP goes through and tries to debunk the claims made in the video, defending Bush on each specific issue:

Democrats Roll Out 'Bush Truth Squad'

But some of the facts presented Tuesday were highly one-sided.

The video tells viewers that Bush lost a race for Congress while ignoring that Kerry did, too.

He blamed Bush for losing 3 million jobs. Although jobs in the manufacturing sector are down by about 2.7 million since Bush took office, employment overall has fallen by 1.1 million in Bush's time.

The second article is about the Kerry video that the Republican party released. In this article the Associated Press does not defend Kerry even a single time, they allow a Democrat to respond to one false claim, but the Associated Press does not do any debunking of their own.

Republicans Produces Kerry Video on Iraq

The facts they brought forward at their launch, however, were selective.

Also note that the Democrats video about Bush was "highly one-sided", the Republicans video about Kerry was just "selective."

The fact that the AP defends Bush, but refuses to defend Kerry equally, proves that they are rooting for Bush in November and they will do anything they can to help him win.

4. Media Bias May Be Worst Ever
It's much more pro-Bush right now than it was during campaign 2000.
