More right-wing bias from The Media

Is there any end at all to what The Media will try to make us believe?

The website of KNTV-TV in San Francisco - an NBC-owned station - sounds like it's trying to compete with Free Republic. A headline on the site blares, "Berkeley to Consider Condemning OBL Raid." No, the city of Berkeley is not considering condemning the raid.

The article says Berkeley is talking about "whether to condemn the killing of Osama Bin Laden." No, Berkeley is not talking about whether to condemn killing him.

The resolution would condemn intelligence officials who gave bin Laden the code name "Geronimo." The measure doesn't condemn the actual raid. It only condemns the code name. The resolution was prompted by the fact that the code name insults the memory of Apache leader Geronimo.

In other words, KNTV completely distorted the facts.

Look, even I'm not condemning the raid itself. I know the other side seems to live in a funhouse mirror world in which they think I would, but this make-believe land of theirs is a lie they've created. On the other hand, some right-wingers actually did condemn the raid right after it occurred. So the right-wing intelligentsia loses the argument. Again.
