Carl Bernstein: Media ‘Too Fair’ To Republicans

‘We need to start covering this story not 50/50’

Carl Bernstein's Complaint: Media Too Fair To Republicans! (NewsBusters)

Poor Carl Bernstein: he's suffering a bad bout of MSM nostalgia. He longs for the good old media days when the news was dominated by the likes of the New York Times, the Washington Post and the then three broadcast networks. They could slam Republicans with impunity, without any conservative media counterweight.

In covering the shutdown, today's media culture, kvetches Carl, is just too darn fair and balanced in its treatment of those lying, McCarthyite Republicans. That's why President Obama and the congressional Dems' poll numbers are surprisingly bad.  Such was Carl's complaint on today's Morning Joe.
