Both Anthony Mason and open Obama supporter Gayle King inserted language that the Vice President didn't even use in his original speech on Tuesday.

Once Again, Only CBS Spotlights Racial Overtones in Biden 'Chains' Att
Of the three morning shows on Wednesday, only CBS acknowledged the racial tinge of Vice President Joe Biden telling a mostly black crowd that Republicans will "put y'all back in chains."

ABC, CBS, NBC Ignore Chick-fil-A Vandalism Incidents
The broadcast networks complain loudly about real or perceived offenses committed by conservatives.

Ryan’s Not the First: Media’s History of Trashing GOP Vice Preside
Almost as soon as word leaked that Mitt Romney had chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate, liberal reporters stepped forward to help define the Wisconsin congressman as too conservative, a heartless budget-slasher who might repel as many votes as he might attract to the GOP ticket. Chris Matthews, for example, on Saturday derided Ryan as someone whose plan “really screws the people who…

ABC, NBC Press Axelrod on Anti-Romney Cancer Ad as CBS Skips

CBS Still Claiming Obama's 'You Didn't Build That' Was About Infrastru
Incredible. CBS News has an anti-Romney "fact check" article up this morning supposedly debunking statements made by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan during yesterday's introduction of the veep pick.
