You would think the US media would get over their Bush Derangement Syndrome. The man will be out of office in just over a month. But no, anything anti-Bush is worth dwelling on without shame for these folks.
Thanks to NewsBusters for keeping track. I’m sure you’ve heard by now that an Iraqi journalist threw two size 10 shoes at the President. President Bush handled the situation well. He waved off the secret service (not that they should have listened to him) and joked about it. I thought he showed a lot of class.
That’s not the aspect of the story the main stream media has decided to focus on. They’ve been reporting that the rude shoe thrower is now a folk hero to Iraqi’s. (The Iraqi’s who are embarrassed by the event receive scant coverage.) The worst offending media outlets are ABC and CBS. No surprise there.
At least some of the media are “coming out of the closet” and admitting their bias by quitting their journalism jobs and going to work for Team Obama.
I just have to wonder how the media would treat a conservative American that threw a shoe or two at Obama. Would they call that person a folk hero if conservatives cheered? Yeah, I know, good one. Assaulting a US President is only acceptable if that President has an R after his name.
