Excerpt:

To wit, the Axis Press Spin-Meisters have indeed been working overtime of late, no doubt due also in part to the faltering popularity of the One and Only, being Potus El Magnifico, and his less than masterful command of common sense itself, to put it mildly. The typical stories emanating from the likes of the Associated  Press, the NY Times and even the Wall Street Journal of late, among many others, have often held very vague but brief vestiges of leftward spin, which is a thing that one can quite commonly identify. However, despite being on the lookout for quantifiable bias, much of the time, we rarely find the radical Left's efforts to influence public opinion worthy of an entire column.

But, there occasionally will appear an article of such breathtaking leftism and stealthily contrived bias, that the need arises to showcase if for what it is and point out the influential nadir of liberal bias at its most blatant, along with its absolute refusal to report on the desired basis of ideological equilibrium. After reading the following article, which appeared in the Charlotte Observer,our Staff decided that we should interrupt our normal programming to both highlight and illustrate exactly how the media can make spin appear neutral when it is anything but.

Pointing Out Half of The Facts

This McClatchy Newspaper's article written by Douglas Lightman and William Douglas titled, "Congress returns to Capital and with it comes gridlock" appeared in our Monday edition of the Charlotte Observer and was most likely picked up in many other venues as the Leftist Editors silently applauded their approval in the form of front-paging this article. It begins with the standard "who" referring to Lawmakers returning to Washington after a month long recess, the "what" being an economy continuing to stumble, and the "when" being Tuesday, September 6, 2011. As we begin, we cannot fail to note that the Reporters immediately incept their voyage of vilification in noting that Congress' "poll numbers plummeted" following the debt ceiling debacle:

WASHINGTON) Lawmakers in Congress return to Washington on Tuesday after a month long recess - a time in which the economy continued to stumble, the government's fiscal crisis deepened and lawmakers' poll numbers plummeted following the debt-ceiling debacle of July.

What our august reporters are setting up, immediately leading into the article, is how terribly dissatisfied Americans are with Congress, i.e. House Republicans, a thing you will begin to see as we move forward. But what our reporters fail to mention is how the entire government's approval numbers are at historical lows. Obama's approval rating has also dropped to its lowest historical level,  following the debt ceiling debacle, as well, a fact which you will not see at all within this entire article. So, why would our reporters point out how abysmal our Congress is while yet leaving out how lackluster President Obama's performance has been in the polls? We report, you decide on that point.
