(2,419 posts)44. I Urge An Apology From Everyone On DU.....
to the poor persecuted Governor of NJ. Seems it's all been just another sad case of the famous liberal media bias taking down another victim. I, for one, feel so ashamed.
Christie compares coverage of GWB and Clinton email scandals; says media bias apparent
Governor Christie said media bias contributed to heavier coverage of the George Washington Bridge lane closures than of Democrat Hillary Clintons use of personal email as secretary of state, as he called for an apology Thursday.
Christie, appearing on CNBCs Squawk Box, said he was branded as guilty by media outlets, but an internal investigation he commissioned, a legislative inquiry led by Democrats and a federal investigation have all cleared him of an involvement in the incident.
I was guilty, guilty. I had done it, he said. Now were 15 months later, where are the apologies pouring in? Not one thing I said on the day after the bridge situation has been proven to be wrong.
Christie, who is considering running for president, acknowledged there was initial coverage of Clintons email controversy, but the issue has now largely gone away even though shes seeking the Democratic nomination for president. He argued that had it been him who had emails on a private server and he told the public he had deleted them because none pertained to the lane closures, he would have faced greater scrutiny.
Has there been coverage of the email situation with the Secretary, absolutely, he said. But the intensity of the coverage and the relentlessness of the coverage is different. And that is where the bias is revealed.
After The Record broke the story about how Christies deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly wrote an email Time for some traffic problem in Fort Lee a media frenzy took place for the following several months, exploring various angles of the lane closures and several scandals that grew out of the closures.

Hey you disgusting pig of a person, what about the seemingly endless list of scandals from the day you lied about your opponents in the Morris Freeholder's race to steering pension investments to your high school buddy and everything in between? I'm sorry. I'm sorry I brought it all up. You are indeed a great leader. I'm sorry that you haven't been removed from office yet.
