Dallas Morning News Bias – December 4, 2013

See if THE DALLAS MORNING DAILY KOS reports this tomorrow:
Harry Reid exempts his staffers from Obamacare
 
NOT NEWS TO THE DALLAS MORNING DAILY KOS
(To be clear, folks, if The News had its way, you would NOT know any of this.)
1) Congressman warns ‘fixed’ health website still not secure; White House won’t brief Congress
2) Hacker: no security ever built into health care website; Online security expert: risks worse than before ‘fix’
3) AP: Healthcare subsidy program vulnerable to fraud
(This is AP — The News’ main source — but it’s ignored.)
4) Expert tells Congress Obama’s actions may lead to government overthrow
(Oh, yeah, Congressional hearings are ongoing – you just don’t know it from reading The News.)
5) Issa: FBI is impeding IRS inquiry
6) Obama exploring ways to let Iran keep enriching uranium

 

Dallas Morning News Bias – December 3, 2013

NOT NEWS TO THE DALLAS MORNING MOVEON.ORG NEWS
1) Fact check: Obama’s latest claim about health law also false
(He continues to lie to our faces, publicly and without fear of reprisal – and The News sees no story.)
2) Healthcare.gov balks at 30,000 users, well short of claimed ability
3) Cancer patient, dropped by Obamacare and went public, gets IRS audit
(These stories don’t interest The News. They’re just not agenda-productive.)
4) Iran’s Rouhani: ‘Our enrichment will never stop and this is our redline’
(Aw, dang. I thought Dear Leader fixed this.)
5) Hassidic man latest victim of NY ‘knockout game’
(Yeah, maybe legal-rights-for-NY-chimp, p. 4A, IS a bigger story. My bad.)
6) Activists demand end to FDA ban on homosexual male blood donations
(Most DMN readers don’t know male homosexuals are still banned from giving blood. … This is another one of those areas where pesky FACTS get in the way of the Left’s agenda. So all-hell must be brought to bear on reason.)

Dallas Morning News Bias – December 2, 2013

From yesterday:
*Texas’ Medicaid quandary, Mitchell Schnurman’s Business commentary, p. 1D –(No, I didn’t miss this. It’s just, some days his crap is so tedious it’s not worth my time.) … Stop me if you’d heard this:
1) Schnurm bashes Perry for not “expanding Medicaid”; says the federal government was gonna pay for “nearly” all of it, so what’s the big deal?; 
2) he doesn’t mention how long the fed pays (the spigot slows in three years) — or from which body cavity the fed would retrieve this money;
3) he thinks growing the Medicaid rolls is a good thing, it shows “a pent-up demand for health care.” (Actually, chief, it shows pent-up demand for free stuff  — and that“demand” is boundless.)
Bottom line — and hip dweebs like Schurm either don’t see it or refuse to admit it: We’re ALL headed to Medicaid if Dear Leader succeeds. It’s called single-payer — and there ain’t enough coin in the cosmos to begin to fund that. Our superior health care system will simply be destroyed — and that’s fine with the Left, as it wasn’t “fair.” The same thinking goes for our Constitutional form of government and capitalism.
Abortionist who kept bags of aborted babies found dead
(C’mon, you guys report the world’s “ugliest dog” dying.)
 

Dallas Morning News Bias – December 1, 2013

TODAY’S DALLAS MORNING LOW-INFO VOTER NEWS
*Race to rescue [Obamacare] website not over, NYT, p. 1A – Funny, yesterday The News’ front-page headline told us: “Website to meet deadline.” Yes – I’m quite certain I saw that. It was really straight forward. But today, we learn from The NYT: “The website, which the administration promised would ‘function smoothly’ for most people by Nov. 30, remains a work in progress.” So it seems the deadline was NOT met. Shall we expect a correction, Editor Mong? (Loved your sub-head today too, sir: Out of officials’ tense meeting came scramble to save Obama. How ’bout that? These“officials” share The News’ motivation!) … To show how far off-base was The News yesterday, here’s yet another paper’s headline for the same news: Health site improving, but likely to miss Saturday deadline. That’s The WSJ. And recall The Times’ headline yesterday: “Health care website rushes to meet Sunday’s deadline; Weeks of effort remain.”  My point: The News really is way out there, folks. I call it Texas’ Most Liberal Newspaper for very good reasons.

Dallas Morning News Bias – November 29, 2013

OP-ED YOU WON’T SEE IN THE DALLAS MORNING DAILY KOS
An Outbreak of Lawlessness, by Charles Krauthammer
BOOK REVIEW YOU WON’T SEE IN THE DALLAS MORNING DAILY KOS
White Girl Bleed A Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It, by Colin Flaherty

Dallas Morning News Bias – November 28, 2013

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
(As predicted — though The News notes the day and some traditions, and includes Dear Leader’s lip-service spiel — George Washington’s initial Proclamation, which clearly defines the Judeo-Christian origins of this official U.S. holiday, is absent. Just sayin’.)

Dallas Morning News Bias – November 27, 2013

BOOK REVIEW YOU WON’T SEE IN THE DALLAS MORNING LEFT-WING LEADER

From yesterday:
Whooping cough cases have jumped, p. 5B – You’ll never see a DMN Dem scribe mention illegal immigration with one of these stories. Sherry Jacobsen doesn’t disappoint. (Some context below)
 
NOT NEWS TO THE DALLAS MORNING MOVEON.ORG NEWS
1) 80 million to lose insurance under employer mandate

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
 

Dallas Morning News Bias – November 22, 2013

What you HAVEN’T learned from The News’ year-long JFK50 series:
— JFK opposed abortion
— JFK cut taxes
— JFK was tough on unions
— JFK was pro-death penalty
— JFK was a “lifetime” NRA member — the only Democrat among 8 U.S. presidents so affiliated.
— JFK supported Second Amendment rights
— JFK had more in common with Reagan than LBJ
See below, the book you never saw in The News’ JFK50 series:
 
NOT NEWS IN TODAY’S DALLAS MORNING DAILY KOS
1) U.S. may have let dozens of al Qaeda terrorists into country as refugees

Dallas Morning News Bias – November 21, 2013

Busy day! Just look at what The News ignores:
NOT NEWS TO THE DALLAS MORNING LIBERAL LEADER
1) Obama crashes to record-low 37 percent approval in CBS/WSJ poll; 61 percent disapprove of Obamacare
2) CBS poll: 84 percent of Dems want health law changed or repealed
3) Second wave of health cancellations looms
4) Texas ‘navigator’ taped conspiring to release private data
(James O’Keefe: doing the job our mainstream media just won’t do.)
5) Small business owner tells Congress ‘Obamacare is driving me to drink’
(But Sandra Fluke squealing for free birth control at last year’s mock hearing got first-class DMN treatment.)
6) Retailers brace for weakest holiday shopping since 2009
(Thanks, Obamacare!)
7) Tribune Co. cutting 700 jobs
(That’s The Chicago Tribune, The LA Times and six other papers — but Dear Leader’s economy is roaring, doncha know?)
8) North Texas drivers stopped, asked for saliva, blood samples
(Yeah, how could this possibly be news, guys?)
9) Three more ‘knockout’ attacks reported, this time in Philly
(This national story is under full blackout at The News — like the gang-rape by Austin illegal Continue reading “Dallas Morning News Bias – November 21, 2013”
