Oh, they're objective alright.......Post Editor's Vote Kerry

My favorite blog lgf has the goods on bias at the Post


What Media Bias?

Dropping in at the LGF page of Washington Post News Feeds, it’s really striking how many of the headlines are anti-Bush and/or pro-Kerry:

Records Say Bush Balked At National Guard Order
Kerry Rips Cheney Statement
Edwards: Bush Should Renounce Cheney Comments
Cheney Says Strikes Likely if Kerry Wins (a gross distortion of Cheney’s words)
Carter Calls Miller Disloyal
Kerry Hits Bush on Record Deficit Predictions

It goes on and on. It’s particularly revealing to check out the headlines in the Post’s “George Bush” newsfeed:

Domestic Questions Remain
It’s a Whole Old Ballgame
Bush Promises ‘a Safer World’
Bush Tries Again With Financial Proposals
Mixed Achievements
Bush Backtracks on Terrorism Remark
Series of Misjudgments Cost President His Lead

...and compare them to the headlines in their “John Kerry” feed:

GOP Prism Distorts Some Kerry Votes

Kerry Unveils Ad Countering Attacks
Swift Boat Accounts Incomplete And Flawed
