NBC and the United Nations

I just watched the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, and after hearing the corruption story by Lisa Myers about how a Representative of the United States was involved in the U.N. Oil For Food scandal, I wondered aloud if the average NBC-News viewer knew if Robert Torricelli of New Jersey was a Republican or Democrat. Was the omission of this detail intentional? Probably. If it wasn't intentional, it was simply institutional bias. They (the Mainstream Liberal Media) are so focused on lampooning conservatives or Republicans, especially GWB, that they don't even know when they are covering for the Liberals.

Have you ever heard the nightly news progams describe a Congressman as a Republican? Of course. Every time. Every single time! Sometimes even adding "Right wing, conservative, or maverick," as further identifiers. But a dirty Democrat? "No, let's not mention that. It's bad enough that we have to even report the story about one of our own, but we don't want Fox News or the bloggers to scoop us." Even omission of facts is one more example in the long evidence list of bias.

And what about our buddies at the U.N.? They tell us that we should shut down Guantanamo prison (where of course, we house all those crazy Muslim jaywalkers) and release all of the prisoners. Of course the U.N. also demands that we don't release them into countries where they will be tortured. Here's an idea, lets let them pack their own parachutes made out of their towel hats, put them on a military transport plane and let them drop in on their good buddies somewhere over downtown Paris and Berlin.
