Columnist Larry Elder notes that, at a recent White House press conference, New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller posed a question in which she called deputy defense secretary (and Bush's nominee for World Bank president) Paul Wolfowitz "a chief architect of one of the most unpopular wars in our history." With minimal research, Elder shows that this is, factually, far from the truth (the Iraq War has a much highly support level than many other U.S. incursions), thus revealing Bumiller's query as "another editorial masquerading as a question."
Might I add that if she had phrased her inquiry as biased in
favor of the president rather than against, some of our liberal
friends would now be cheerfully investigating her sex life for
dirt.
