Dallas Morning News Bias – November 2, 2013

A l’il housecleaning:

*The News’ editorial board demanded yesterday that Dear Leader Obama “fix” his health care train-wreck.

So tell us, Poindexters:

How is Dear Leader to “fix” his LYING to the American people in order to get this abomination passed, in order to get re-elected?

(I’ll wait.)

*Also, The News routinely dredges up sob stories about individual illegal immigrants, but we’ve not seen a feature on North Texans who now face real financial hardship/health care disruption due to Obamacare.

Dallas Morning News Bias – November 1, 2013

COMPARE THE NEWS’ HANDLING OF OCTOBER FACT CHECKS FOR TED CRUZ AND OBAMA.

Both were by The Washington Post and gave Cruz “two Pinocchios,” Obama “four Pinocchios.”

Translation: WashPo perceived Obama as telling a WAY BIGGER whopper.

*For Ted Cruz, Saturday, Oct. 16:

The News provided a headlined story: Fact Check: Cruz’s criticisms premature

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2013/10/18/ted-cruzs-claims-on-obamacare-focus-on-losers-not-winners/

*For Obama, Thursday, Oct. 31:

No headlined story – just a tiny-font info box with: Fact Check: President Obama on keeping your health policy

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2013/10/30/obamas-pledge-that-no-one-will-take-away-your-health-plan/?hpid=z1

LOL! Yet DMN editors will swear up and down they’re not biased!

From yesterday:

[Annual] Deficit under a trillion [for first time under Obama], AP, p. 7A – Missing context: you can thank the tea party for that. Continue reading

DFW Taxpayer Alert…Debt Elections on Nov 5th

October 24, 2013 by Ross Kecseg

We have witnessed how the expansive reliance on government institutions has created the $17 trillion fiscal mess in Washington, which is $11 trillion higherthan in 1997.

Less conspicuous, however, is the massive debt burden amassed by local governments here in Texas, driven primarily by city and school bonds.

Below is a partial list of 14 propositions affecting taxpayers in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area…It’s no surprise that Texas has the second highest local debt, per capita, in the nation. Continue reading
