It's Official: They Ain't Hiding It Anymore

The news has been growing more and more partisan over the years, with fewer attempts to hide behind a screen of "journalistic integrity" or "objectivity". Here's a summary:

Fox News is clearly pulling for McCain. In fact, in order to make him look younger and more energetic, they've been showing footage from his failed 2000 Presidential bid.

This was exposed by MSNBC - who've been showing a strong liberal leaning, to be fair. I wouldn't go so far as to say their stumping for Obama, though, as Keith Olberman has been really critical of Obama's concessions to the right.

CNN, however, is the news agency that's really thrown objectivity to the wind. It was CNN who had the audacity to compare Obama to Hitler. What link did they make between them? Obama plans to make a speech in a sports arena with over 70k people attending.

According to conservative commentator Ben Stein on CNN:
"75,000 people in an outdoor sports palace, well, that's something the Fuehrer would have done."
What a bunch of repugnant shit.


Here's a few things Ben Stein has done that sound like something the Fuehrer would have done:
  • Eat breakfast.
  • Go for a walk.
  • Wear pants.
  • Make ridiculous accusations.
  • Look like an ass.
  • Support very questionable science.
  • Espouse totalitarianism.
  • Vote for Bush.
