Conwebwatch 2012 Slanties: The Tree of Slants
Terry Krepel, conwebwatch.tripod.com
One doesn't have to go back to the beginning of time to learn about right-wing media bias -- just to the mid-1990s, when WorldNetDaily, Newsmax and CNSNews.com were mere gleams in the eyes of their respective founders. And one doesn't need to make a pretentious movie about it -- that's what ConWebWatch's Slantie Awards are for.
So, without further, ado, let the ninth annual Slanties begin!
* * *
The first award is for the most egregious example of bias in "news" coverage. This year's nominees are:
* WorldNetDaily's Aaron Klein coming to the aid of Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak by defending his failing regime and making sure the dictator's retinue got copies of Klein's Obama smear book.
* CNSNews.com rewriting the headlines of Associated Press articles it publishes to add more right-wing bias.
