Default An excellent example of liberal media bias.

The following story by NY Times staff writer Ronald Brownstein is an excellent example of subtle media bias. In covering the story of George Soros' MoveOn.org raising a significant sum for ex-Klansmen Sen. Robert Byrd (A story in itself which I will not address here) Mr. Brownstein neglects to mention Sen Byrd's somewhat sordid past. Specifically, his former affiliation with the Klan is completely omitted from a story currently running on nytimes.com and the main page of Yahoo!

The only reason I have for pointing this out is to demonstrate what I believe to be a clear bias. If David Duke decided to re-enter the world of politics and for some
inane reason the Heritage Foundation contributed to his cause, his Klan affiliation would be mentioned in every paragraph (rightly so).

Thanks for your time.
