Media Bias

Dear Mrs. Higgins,

With the elections over I thought we were past all this slanted spin on every political story.

I was wrong.

Don’t know if you’ve been following the story, though its hard not to the way the press has been forcing it on us: the lynching of our Governor Blagojevich.

I’m telling you the press has been ridiculous with these trumped up charges that are hardly worth mentioning.

Trumped up charge #1: selling the senate seat vacated by President Elect Obama.

Well comrade, this is called “revenue”. Its part of running a “business” in a free trade place we call America.

This anti commerce commie press has really got to realize that profit is a good thing. Next we’ll be closing down lemonade stands.

Trumped up charge #2: withholding state payments to a children’s hospital until contributions are made to his office.

Ok, this sounds bad. But the one question I haven’t heard anyone ask is: are these kids really sick?

Oh, no Mr. Reporter bypasses the key questions to maliciously tar the Governor’s good name.

Trumped up charge #3: getting high paid, cushy jobs for his wife in exchange for state contracts.

Here is a man trying to do something to help out around the house. Sorry to inform the anti-family press, but taking care of the Mrs. is what we call family values.

Anyway Mrs. H, I’m sure this is just a tempest in a teapot. After the press finds somebody else to viciously attack, Rod will coast himself into the senate. And I’ve already ordered my “Blago for President 2016” t shirts.

All he needs is a real “law and order” VP. I wonder what Elliot Spitzer is doing these days.

Dear Mike,

The only place your buddy Rod is going to “coast into” is the penitentiary. Maybe Mrs. Blago will have an adjacent cell.

Did you say “law and order” and “Elliot Spitzer” in the same week?

Keep the tshirt, boy. Your car is always dirty anyway.

Love and kisses,

Mrs H.
