Malachy McCourt is running for NYS Governor! Did you know that? You haven't heard yet? Well ... How is that even possible? I mean, he announced well over three weeks ago! Didn't your local news source tell you? They didn't? Wow, they really dropped the ball on this "local" news story, didn't they!?Well, I suppose you could learn more about Mr. McCourt right now by reading the River Reporter story pasted below. For some strange reason, they wrote and posted the story pretty much right after theannouncement happened instead of waiting three weeks like their corporate competition. What a bunch of weirdos, huh? You could also look at today's AP story pasted below.However, I have a feeling that if you wait until tomorrow, your local corporate news media, in an effort to appear non-fascist and unbiased, will paste this same story into tomorrow's "paper". ;-)Remember, its not so much the lies and errors and agenda that make up what we can call true media bias. Instead, it is what is left outcompletely or totally buried that is usually of vital significance. Can anyone say "corporate two-party bias"?
