Bias

As I watch news report after news report about the dire straits of the people in KY and AR, particularly Louisville, KY, I can only wonder how much outrage and bitterness would be expressed via the media regarding the slow, and deficient response of the government if the President was a Republican.

I can't help but wonder how it is tied to the partisan split in the media. For example, after Hurricane Katrina, how long did it take the liberally slanted media to compalin about the lethargic response of the Bush Administration. Well, now that the media has gotten Barack Obama elected as our 44 th President, where is the outrage, where are the constant broadcasts showing outraged citizens of KY, where are the constant media complaints about the lethargic response of the Obama Administration to the 600K to 1 million people in KY alone that have been without power in freezing temperatures?

Wait a minute....could it possibly be because the majority of the population affected by the storm is not black? Could it be because the President is black (well half anyway), could it be because the media has a love affair with President Obama?

Where was the Red Cross when those in KY were powerless in freezing temperatures? Oh, wait a minute, perhaps the media NOW thinks it is the governor's responsibility. Why was it the President's responsibility when Katrina hit, but now it is the governor's responsibility? How come President Obama didn't activate hundreds of thousands of reserve military troops to assist in the rehabilitation of Louisville, for example? Why is the media not broadcasting over and over and over and over again the hardships of the American citizens of KY like they did in New Orleans? Hmmmmmmmmmm? Kind of makes one wonder a bit doesn't it!

What do you think?
