Doing are we going to Justine -- come up told radio news service for -- daily.

-- bash the NL mislead the the immigration decision from the Supreme Court.

Was the main topic on every single news show -- today.

I'm Justin I gather you think that just some of the media -- exactly playing this straight and allowing the President Obama to play politics of this.

Double what we're seeing is a very clear double standard on the part of the media you know when you covering politics for a long time he.

Will has been that is the cardinal sin actually act like a politician.

But -- we saw is we saw the president bring immigration.

You know and sense of his announcement where in an executive order would be granted to help those who -- -- the country before their sixteenth stay longer.

Come up during an election year and you know this is something that's -- only political and is quite likely one of the most political.

Actually president has taken is presidency.

And we are seeing very little questioning about that.

You know as opposed what we saw in 2004 when Republicans tried to make gay marriage wedge issue.

Or when we see the media dismissed whatever house Republicans take up as being just -- your political theater when really this seems to fit that criteria.

At least just as much if not more so.

So what would you like seeing the media doing with regard to this and -- coverage all of this issue just.

What we're seeing right now as we're seeing some of the people note that the timing of this is certainly suspect.

But that seems to be the end of it.

Their is very little criticism there's very little.

Questioning for why this came now and no one really asked that question that is one of the key issues here why did he -- now.

And the White House does not really have a good answer for that.

And at the end of the day.

The media can acknowledge that this may be Smart politics but when it comes down to politics they need to call it like they see it.

And right now everybody in the media is clearly -- that this is.

Politics.

Justin did the the YO white.

As officials would say did.

President Obama is one of the most heavily criticized presidents in the media in history do they not have a point.

That.

Until they certainly do but presidents are fair targets of criticism.

Presidents should be held under a microscope presidents should be subjected to and -- increased scrutiny and that is really what is lacking in this issue.

So you think will see similar sort of that media spin when we get -- Health care ruling from the supreme called on Thursday.

I think -- RDC admitted that.

We're saying we're seeing some in the media -- -- in the pundits here in the Blogosphere saying that no matter how this goes it's either going to be.

A major victory for Obama or a major disaster and you know that is.

Anything that far removed from what we've seen already when that gets announced on Thursday.

Almost all the broader question of media bias Justin isn't it just the way.

Of the world these days that so that let's speak with a certain voice Matt let's speak Quinn's.

-- -- Is in the public free to choose -- they read what they want twelve they listened to and they make their choices and that's all well and good.

I know certainly the case nobody can argue that we are not living in a world where people go to their a little echo chambers.

But that's not an excuse.

You know the media should you know theoretically at least -- try to strive to something higher.

And I try to present.

You know -- a fair bargain to all candidates were running and that's something that's.

You know sorely sorely lacking a lot of his conversations.

All right interesting points just conduct -- told radio -- service thanks very much for being here for.
