ABC’s World News Tonight: Rove: Reported on Rove the day he made the comments. Reporter Jake Tapper solemnly intoned, “President Bush came to office promising to change the tone in Washington. Political observers say it has changed. It’s nastier.” Durbin: World News never mentioned Durbin’s comments until squeezing them into the Rove report. The show had briefly touched on the apology Tuesday, eight days after Durbin made the remarks.
NBC Nightly News: Rove: Covered Rove’s comments the day they were spoken. Durbin: Ran a brief anchor-read item two days after his comment, and a similar brief when he apologized.
CBS Evening “News” (now with 50 percent fewer faked memos!): Rove: Did not mention his comments Thursday afternoon, but The Early Show on CBS gave it significant coverage. Durbin: This is going to surprise you all, I know, but as of Friday night CBS has not mentioned Durbin’s remarks.
and, that was some of the better coverage the guys at Rathergate found.
And i think we need to go to Bernie Goldberg's book.. the bias isn't political it's cultural. and the folks who have the cultural bias Bernie talked about... they are the same folks out there putting backing to Moron.org and the like.
so.. strange they didn't like Dick Durbin's comments
