No Bias, really!!

I got a fun email from an old HS friend this week asking for permission to run a picture of George Bush in the little "FIllmore Gazette" this week. I said sure. So I was hunting for it and found this article instead. Really makes you think!!

Inauguration Headline Comparison
By Gazette Staff Writer — Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
Nothing like unbiased coverage in the news...
Inauguration Headlines 4 Years Ago:

"Republicans spending $42 million on inauguration while troops die in unarmored Humvees"

"Bush extravagance exceeds any reason during tough economic times"

"Fat cats get their $42 million inauguration party, ordinary Americans get the shaft"

"Bush starts his day with a one hour workout, maybe he should spend more time doing "the nation's work."

Inauguration Headlines This Year:

"Historic Obama Inauguration will cost only $120 million"

"Obama Spends $120 million on inauguration; America Needs A Big Party"

"Everyman Obama shows America how to celebrate"

"Citibank executives contribute $8 million to Obama Inauguration"

"President of the United States can dedicates himself to a 2 hour morning workout, should inspire every American"

Yeah, I'm sure we're not living in a media biased country at all!

Ben, even though I know it to be true, it is shocking to see it so blatant. If you have the original, could you forward it to me. I would love to send it to my cousin.
