Bill O’Reilly: War as the liberal press sees it Contributed by Bill Faith
Perhaps the biggest reason so many Americans are confused about the chilling dangers posed by Islamic fascism is the reportage of the terror war by the liberal print press. Day after day, committed left-wing newspapers frame their coverage with an emphasis on the inadequacies of the Bush administration or , not the aggressive worldwide jihad that seeks nuclear weapons. Routinely, those who act confrontationally against the fascists are marginalized and sometimes personally attacked. Rarely do the left-wing dailies give a fair hearing to both sides of the terror-war controversy.
But, of course, the journalists toiling at the committed liberal papers don’t see it that way. In a recent appearance on National Public Radio, Los Angeles Times reporter Tom Hamburger presented a point of view that is anything but rare in liberal circles: “Targeting the mainstream, even establishment media as having a liberal bias has been one of the most successful campaigns that’s been organized by the conservative right. And it’s made editors and reporters cautious about what they say.”
According to Hamburger, his paper and others such as The New York Times are not liberal at all; their images have been distorted by the right. Well, let’s examine the facts.
