Dallas Morning News Bias – November 10, 2013

NOT NEWS TO THE DALLAS MORNING LIBERAL LEADER
1) Pew: Obama’s second-term slide continues
(The News reports Pew all the time — but not this.)
2) Weekly GOP address: This is what betrayal looks like
(DMN readers don’t even know the GOP gives a weekly address.)
3) U.S is having quietest two-year period for tornadoes since 1980s
4) South Dakota, Washington state break snow-fall records
5) Wind turbines killed over half-a-million bats in 2012
(Poor, defenseless, unsuspecting l’il bastards — and The News doesn’t care.)
Meanwhile, The News’ “news”
*Getting past Perry’s past, p. 1A – Anybody ever seen “Getting past Obama’s past” in The DMN? No. You haven’t. Not in 2008, not ever. But Perry, see, forgot something — then said “Ooops!” Really — can we trust someone with a “past” like that? (Hilarious.) 
*Not all [high school] athletes covered in crisis, p. 1A – How’d Obamacare miss this? … The problem here — of course — is that Texas does not FORCE schools to provide this insurance. DMN Dem sports scribe Corbett Smith dutifully notes that “some states do,” but not [foolish] Texas  — with its level of uninsured 1.5 to two times the national average.” (Good boy. Check that box!) … So 5 of 65 local school districts don’t provide catastrophic coverage and that’s Sunday front-page news — but thousands of DFW families losing their policies, facing massive premium/deductible hikes, is still ignored. Not a local syllable again today. … The News’ game plan: Press the local “uninsured” angle — relentlessly. Ignore Obamacare’s local effects — relentlessly.
*Obama’s Dallas visit full of ‘advice’ for GOP, Texas Watch, p. 9A – ‘Case you missed what Dear Leader said in Big D last week, Todd “The Hack” Gillman replays it here in his patented news-section editorial. Eight inches devoted here to Dear-Leader direct quotes — two to Cruz’s rebuttal. Gillman also claims the shutdown left the GOP “reeling” without noting Dear Leader’s approval hit a record-low in the recent post-shutdown NBC/WSJ poll, or that Gallup showed Dear Leader at 39 percent this week. … But, hey, I know. It’s “analysis.”
*[JFK] Programs represent high road and low road, Television review, p. 1E – Surprise! DMN Dem scribe Chris Vognar HATES Bill O’Reilly’s Killing Kennedy — it’s “cheap and tawdry,” and has “cringe-inducing dialogue that congeals in a mass of poor taste” — and LOVESPBS: “when it comes to exploring American subjects with intelligence and depth, no TV enterprise does it better[!]” Hahahahahaha! If that’s true, Chris, why is it dependent on government subsidies?
*Letters to the Editor, p. 3P – On voter ID: 4-of-5 letters against it; On Krauthammer’s Obamacare Op-Ed: 3-of-3 against it.
*Doonesbury – A DMN comic strip portrays conservative opposition to Dear Leader as being exactly like pro-slavery opposition to Lincoln! More “fair comment” from Editor Bob Mong! Boffo, sir! … Number of lib-bashing strips today: ZERO.
