Mainstream media celebrates Chelsea Clinton pregnancy, but ignored Jenna Bush's announcement

This week, Chelsea Clinton announced she was having a baby, and the media took it about the way you would expect: like a sign from God that Hillary Clinton should be coronated President.

According to the Media Research Center (the web's best watchdog for media bias), every major network devoted coverage on the announcement on their nightly news: ABC and NBC each gave it a two minute story, while CBS gave it about 32 seconds of air time. ABC's Cecilia Vega was giddy nearly to the point of embarrassment, stating "The next generation of the Clinton dynasty is on the way...One Clinton child grew up before our eyes in the White House, could there soon be another?"

Even the print media were practically Lewinskying each other in glee. Dana Milbank of the Washington Post spoke of the pregnancy in terms of Hillary's future political hopes. "Nobody assumes this was done for political reasons, of course, but if it had been done for political reasons, it could not have been a better time," she wrote. "Hillary Clinton will have this bouncing toddler in her arms to campaign with in 2016.”

The Media Research Center pointed out that when Jenna Bush Hager announced her pregnancy in December 2012, little more than a year ago, the evening news media responded with a collective yawn. ABC and CBS didn't mention it at all. NBC gave it about 30 seconds, and that is only because Hager announced it on NBC's Today Show.

ABC: No joking about Obama!

A report by TV Guide accuses ABC's standards department of not allowing a joke about President Obama to make it to air. If they think that's offensive, what's their excuse for showing Joy Behar's face every day on The View? For all the details, click the following link to read my full column:
ABC censors Tim Allen's Obama joke

Excuse me, ABC, but your bias is showing

It's no secret that the mainstream media is hopelessly biased against Republican, especially conservative, candidates. It is rare to see it such a painfully obvious way, at the hands of George Stephanopoulos and Diane Sawyer during the recent Republican debate before the New Hampshire primary. Check out the great video above, which includes most of the debate question lowlights. It was, however fun to watch the reaction of the candidates who could barely hide their astonishment over their questions. I wonder why George did not ask if any of the candidates support using nuclear weapons if aliens invade the planet. Like banning contraception, it could happen.

Diane Sawyer: Obama Cheerleader and Drunken Party Girl

Diane Sawyer just can't help singing the praises of President Obama, even when he has a terrible political week. She tries a little too hard to put a positive spin on things instead of facing the hard realities. We examine her choice of Michelle Obama as her "Person of the Week," where she praised the First Lady like she had actually accomplished something. For more on her love for all things Obama, and a video reminder of how his inauguration sent her off on a drunken binge, click here to read my column at Examiner.com.
