Dallas Morning News Bias – November 23, 2013

Dang, after Harry Reid’s use of the “nuclear option” in the Senate, I thought surely I’d see a DMN editorial calling for an end to “brinksmanship.”
Guess not. Maybe tomorrow?
 
NOT NEWS TO THE DALLAS MORNING LOW-INFO VOTER NEWS
1) CBS poll: 7 percent are satisfied with Obamacare
(Don’t forget, folks: not just Dear Leader and the Dems sold us Obamacare; newspapers like the The DMN sold us — and still are selling us — Obamacare.)
2) ‘Climate-change’ summit nears collapse
3) Obama biography is required reading for Ill. 4th graders
(Spoiler Alert: Whitey is racist. It’s part of Common Core — of course!)
OP-ED YOU DIDN’T SEE IN THE NEWS’ YEAR-LONG JFK50 SERIES
The Liberal Media and the JFK Lie
 
Meanwhile, The News’ “news”

*’We all grew up that day,’ JFK50 Ceremony, p. 1A – Isn’t it an obscenity that libs like Dallas’ mayor Mike Rawlings still say JFK’s murder gave Dallas a wonderful “opportunity” — a “gift” — that led the city to ridding itself right-wing “hate?” Truly abominable. And, after spending much of this year highlighting cheery-picked strident 1963 opposition to Kennedy – which had nothing to do with his murder — The News ignores an MSNBC host saying someone should defecate in Sarah Palin’s mouth. He was forced to apologize but still has a job. Palin has canceled a long-planned sit-down with NBC host Matt Lauer over the incident. But in The DMN, none of it happened
 
*JFK observance shows how Dallas has grown, Floyd column, p. 1B – In case y’all think I’m makin’ it up, Jaci Floyd knew exactly what Rawlings’ meant: “The most difficult public message of all [from Rawlings’ speech] … is the honest acceptance that while Dallas was not culpable for Kennedy’s assassination, it wasn’t blameless either.” (Y’all get that? Dallas wasn’t guilty — but it was!) Again:conservative opposition to Kennedy had NOTHING TO DO with his murder. No inkling, no evidence — no nothing from The Warren Report, or anywhere else, showed that. This was simply inventedand a cause by the Left and pounded by the mainstream media. … Imagine if a conservative prez were killed by a random nut and conservatives blamed liberal “hate” for it, and endlessly hauled out specific “hate” examples, and a conservative Mayor stood up and alluded to that “hate” in a memorial service? Think that would fly for a minute at The DMN? (Wilbur and Orville flew longer at Kitty Hawk.)
*Pace of enrollment in health exchanges picks up, WashPo, p. 12A – The News ran nearly this exact same headline three days ago. It was propaganda then, and it’s propaganda now. … Here, WashPo takes the word of the severely left-wing Commonwealth Fund for this momentous “news”. Hahahahahahahhaha! …. (No, the Commonwealth Fund isn’t ID’d as liberal, left-wing, or anything like that here.)
 
*[Wind farm] Firm settles in bird deaths, AP, p. 8A – Finally! … But this piece makes no mention of the 500,000 birds and 500,000 bats being killed annually by these wind farms — just a few eagles by this one company. You can do much better, guys.
