Harvard Study: Media Bias Against Trump

[Sparko]

The phrase "so open-mind your brain fell out" comes to mind.

I think we should run through a simple exercise and measure RumTumTugger's abilities.
Let's compare the ability of our test subject to understand a simple phrase.
We'll use a representative of the Supreme Court as our baseline.

THE TEST
Let's look at the phrase: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

TEST SUBJECT #1
I sent RumTumTugger a telegram asking what that phrase meant and here is her response:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

TEST SUBJECT #2
I sent the Supreme Court a telegram asking what the phrase meant and Ruth Bader Ginsburg showed up on my doorstep.
She was all bug-eyed and frothing at the mouth - her black muumuu blowing in the winds of a storm that had just arisen.
She said the phrase means "Civil governments not at all connected to congress shall not place religious items on public properties in celebration even though that doesn't establish a religion and even though no laws are touched by it."
She then cackled, turned into a bat, crapped on my Bible and flew away.

VERDICT
RumTumTugger has a much better grasp on the English language than the Supreme Court, which I'm afraid, isn't saying much at all.

And here I thought she was the only one who had experienced that.

Of course we already knew this, but now it is official!

Just because its negative coverage doesn't make it biased. The wannabee dictator is bad news thus he will continue to get negative coverage.

Unless that wannabe dictator has dark skin, and then it's nothing but glowing praise. Of course the fact that Obama openly threatened and intimidated any journalist who displeased him might have had something to do with it. Best not to upset dear leader.
