Proof most of the media is in bed with Democrats
This warrants its own topic now.
If you still aren't convinced the media just carries the water for Democrats than maybe this will help persuade you.
Yesterday Washington Post ran this headline: "North Carolina Republicans overrode a budget veto while Democrats were at a 9/11 ceremony"
Democrats accused Republicans of lying to them saying they wouldn't hold a vote on 9/11 to allow legislatures to attend 9/11 ceremonies. Many publications ran with this story from the Democrats because why not? It gives the impression that Democrats care so deeply about 9/11 victims and shows that Republicans are callous assholes who tricked Democrats into going to 9/11 ceremonies so they could hold a vote without them.
Only problem is the story is 100% bullshit. The Republicans stated clearly and plainly every day for days leading up to 9/11 that the vote would be held on 9/11, including audio evidence on 9/10 that the vote would be held on 9/11.
Only ONE Democrat even attended a 9/11 ceremony, much less all Democrats like the story claims.
But don't worry, Washington Post later "corrected" their headline with this garbage: "Clarification: An earlier version of this article overly generalized the reason for Democrats’ absence from the General Assembly session. This version has been updated."
They also "corrected" their story from "Republicans tricked Democrats who were patriotically attending 9/11 ceremonies!"
To this:
[quote]While most North Carolinians were remembering the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, the Republican leaders in the General Assembly took advantage of a half-empty House and voted to override the governor’s budget veto Wednesday morning.[/qutoe]
Yes, because most North Carolinians doing something on a particular day has so much to do with what the state legislature doing their job.
