Michelle's War
In in keeping with my current desire to aim well behind the
current newscycle I want to write something that deals with last
Tuesdays debate rather than last nights. I did watch last nights
debate; was it just me or did those boys, Bush and Kerry, seem kinda
edgy.
One of the things I came across in mid-week was on Michelle Malkin's web space. ANNOYING AP BIAS So, what is her point? She is annoyed that Associated Press used phrase Cold efficiency to describe Cheney. But decides she likes it well enough in the course of writing about it: In
any case, all four candidates claim they have what it takes to kill the
terrorists wherever they are. I prefer it be done with "cold
efficiency," don't you? So it couldn't have been that bad,
pejorative or off base as it stood. Still she feels it necessary to see bias
by the non fact, the non occurence, of an AP story beginning with With gooey unctuousness, Sen. John Edwards etc...
Which she invents to demonstrate. What if the reporter had led with
that phrase, but used it to describe Cheney? What would Michelle have
thought of that?
Maybe the writer was just just doing his or her job, reporting what
they saw. Bringing and leaving no baggage at the scene. Maybe that, or
anything - anything at all, would leave her feeling
personally injured, seeing bias, seeking damages, and seething, at a
world set against her.
