Yeah the main stream media is not liberal. Biden's gaffe "Barack Obama's choice of Joe Biden as his running mate prompted a small wave of warnings about Biden's propensity for gaffes. But no one imagined even in a worse-case scenario such a spectacular bomb as telling donors Sunday to 'gird your loins' because a young President Obama will be tested by an international crisis just like young President John Kennedy was," New York Post columnist Kirsten Powers writes. "Scary? You betcha! But somehow, not front-page news," the writer said. "Again the media showed their incredible bias by giving scattered coverage of Biden's statements. "There were a few exceptions. On MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' co-host Mika Brzezinski flipped incredulously through the papers, expressing shock at the lack of coverage of Biden's remarks. Guest Dan Rather admitted that if [Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah] Palin had said it, the media would be going nuts. "So what gives? "The stock answer is: 'It's just Biden being Biden.' We all know how smart he is about foreign policy, so it's not the same as when Sarah Palin says something that seems off. "Yet, when Biden asserted incorrectly in the vice-presidential debate that the United States 'drove Hezbollah out of Lebanon,' nobody in the U.S. media shrieked. (It was, however, covered with derision in the Middle East.) Or when he confused his history by claiming FDR calmed the nation during the Depression by going on TV, the press didn't take it as evidence that he's clueless. "And Biden is the foreign-policy gravitas on the Democratic ticket, so his comments are actually even more disconcerting."
