-- back right okay and meeting the media is being somewhat unfair in the ways -- -- personal ignored it for a long time as investment that's been well documented by the bee ridge -- senator couple into the sort of thing that was the last few days.
One is our.
Byron York.
From the American spectator -- To New York Times editorials one from 2007.
Saint praising the congress or challenging President Bush you know executive privilege.
US attorney's investigation.
And then investigate and then another editorial from another couple days ago accusing congress of which -- so complete situation all.
One when it's investigating Republicans are foreigners investing Democrats are -- against -- that that is -- certainly biased.
It hasn't -- much coverage of the New York Times for instance which is this sort of still the leading national -- -- -- been more.
They look it was clearly a Fox News story that Fox News.
-- and also due to her credit Sharyl Attkisson CBS news right I think actually probably the biggest single biggest scoop on this one back.
But even more striking institutional bias.
In the media.
Is -- -- initiative to pick on one person you -- arms in the Washington Post this morning.
Says normally I'm in favor of investigations all reporters are we like to learn from -- -- -- -- Because parents -- but of course in this case known -- at all I mean -- it shouldn't every reporter whatever their ideology and less partisanship is totally blinded them.
Be in favor of.
More news -- don't have that point that the mid -- they have certain sections of the media have been very slow on the law.
By any stretch of the imagination is is a big story.
Whichever side of the fence you come down on it.
Whether you believe that.
The administration is completely the wrong here attorney general holder is completely in the wrong it is hiding something all whether you believe there is a hugely partisan witch hunt going along -- Either way it's -- big story shouldn't be -- -- -- I think there's been a fair amount of coverage and the question is do they really want him to lets people want to hear me down alliance that would he's trying to do is enhance its own national stature -- Mean he gets a lot from -- I think you'll see that to be -- volatility on and they say what it's every member of congress wakes up looks in the mirror and sees a future president and Andy Andy he had had an interest in running for governor of California one point.
Factor in the recall Gray Davis so we clearly -- something -- thought but I I think.
It's hard to know what to cover here weathered and frankly give this guy more and more and more attention when what he's doing -- so clearly partisan.
To be honest to fire -- I would have investigated the bush administration and the Obama administration I think you would have got a lot of credit for that for really being willing to cross party lines.
But it's been so obviously partisan.
That I don't know how much coverage really merits Marie and how -- -- give spoiled child and how much attention you give them and they keep on doing the same thing.
Paralyzes a spoiled child.
Well outlook doesn't items opinion -- -- -- but others say there's a reason why this has resonance is that his right here.
And that is never gonna go -- -- -- that your and I don't got -- reasoning on that yet and that's the challenge is.
Until the family and other people who -- fair mindedness.
-- is having just been done and you have for example.
Can carry that with the father was on -- last nine and was saying you know -- -- present.
Called me at the funeral home for my son.
And then work faster it never came up for -- of like the stoked eventually got killed without any mentioning of this crazy operation comedian Jon Stewart.
Mock movie like -- last night at that's on the media website this morning.
This is not a sustainable position -- ministry -- I got to wrap it up that.
Because I have to get to -- Damascus Syria.
-- -- and of course will be seen on FOX News Watch 230.
And 11 PM eastern this Saturday.
Posted by don't go dominated -- continued -- -- season.
