How the media supports Democrats, part gazillion

Ever seen stories in the mainstream media that make some of the following points?:

When Republicans win an election, the media says the public is "acting irrationally" and "lashing out."

But when Democrats win, the media describes the result as a "repudiation of Republican principles and ideas."

An election where 63 Democratic house members lost to Republicans and just two Republican congressmen lost to a Democrat should qualify as a repudiation of Democratic policies. Instead the MSM described voters as being in an "anti-incumbent mood" (never "anti-Democrat").

When Democrats block a Republican bill the MSM describes the blockers as "making a principled stand."

But when Republicans block Democrat legislation the MSM wails about "government paralysis," "gridlock," describing Republicans as "petulant" and "the party of No." The MSM never describes Repubs as making a principled stand.

When Bush was in office the MSM wailed to the heavens about a federal budget deficit of $400 billion.

But when Obama racks up a single-year deficit 3 or 4 times higher than Bush's worst, the MSM defends Obama by saying, Well, Bush had huge deficits too.

It goes on and on.
