Bias Watch

In the vein of John Rosenberg's piece on Jon Wiener here's another that shows what shoddy treatment can be expected from the media by people who don't toe the leftist line. This one's written by the target of a PC attack over "racial insensitivity." I especially liked the description of the editor who was confronted about her paper's slanted reporting:

Lois Norder, the Star-Telegram’s northeast editor, embodied every one of the attitudes—the smug self-assurance, the presumption to superior virtue, the pose (in the face of an avalanche of evidence to the contrary) of disinterested objectivity—that makes so many dislike today’s mainstream press.
Yup, sounds just like your average Toronto Star journalist. (Via Spoons)
