ORIGINAL: Sanity You're correct as far as generally, the AP does lean very left. It's interesting though how in the same post you try to condemn me for noticing bias while claiming you see it yourself... [sm=lame.gif] And if you're going to claim bias why don't you prove it. Not every article that is critical of Obama is bias, as you seem to think. OK, let me give it a shot. No, not every article critical of Obama is biased. There are things he has done I'm critical of. Normally, in these "fact-check" reports, that have become so popular with the media, you will find a good percentage of those facts being checked to be favorable to the person being "fact-checked". Did you see one fact anywhere in the article that agreed with Obama? So, either Obama is the most dishonest person to ever walk the face of the Earth or the authors are deliberately trying to portray him as such. I think this quote from your link sums up the bias: Congress, under Democratic control in 2007 and 2008, held the purse strings that led to the deficit Obama inherited. A Republican president, George W. Bush, had a role too: He signed the legislation. Now the last I heard, the President submits a budget to Congress for approval, not the other way around. Yet this very sentence implies it was the Democratic Congress who authored the budget and Bush merely played a minor role by agreeing to sign it.
