Why Conservatives hate CBS's 60 Minutes

Okay, CBS and all the other so-called MSM (Mainstream Media) are in the tank for the democrat party.  This is not news, has been the case for ever and blossomed after Walter Cronkite decided in the late '60's that it was okay for news reporters, stations and the networks to take sides in "important" political issues of the day.  Since that time the liberal bias of the media has flowered to the point we now see on display in this 60 Minutes interview of Obama by Steve Croft over the weekend.  Conservatives have a hard time getting their message and the truth out when all these media outlets are this blatantly in the tank for the opposition. In this interview, Obama, who along with Joe Biden has been running all over the country blaming the Bush Administration for the financial meltdown of '08, is not asked by Croft to account for the fact the legislation enabling the deregulation of derivatives and the like to take place occurred during the Clinton Administration -- not the Bush Administration -- with the full support of the congressional democrats.  So much for the veracity and truth seeking by these MSM reporters.  Like all liberals (and Communists, and Muslims, by the way) outright lying and the omission of the truth in the promotion of a greater good is morally acceptable and even desirable. This point is usually overlooked when accounting for media bias, however it is the primary reason why no liberal is trustworthy.  Some refer to this particular tactic as moral relativism, which is as good an explanation as any.

Seven years of near madness -- Victor Davis Hanson

VDH has succinctly summarized here the second Bush term, the irrational behavior of the left media and politicians, the rise and election of Obama and the return to reality in 2010.  As is his wont, Hanson brings the historian's perspective to recent history.  After all his recounting and analysis of this period, one is left to wonder exactly what caused the left to become thoroughly unhinged and irrational.  He offers the partial explanation that after years of out of power they saw the opportunity to  rally voters around the unpopularity of the prolonged conflict in Iraq conveniently forgetting that they had agreed with Bush about going into that country and all the rest.  As they always do, the democrats, with no principles other than the exercise of power, turned the full fury of their captive media and academia against the republicans giving us in the process the Hope and Change presidency.  If Obama is reelected all bets are off on the future of the US, at least as the country we have known in the past.
