I don't think it's a secret the Media has a Liberal bias. Here are some reasons:
1.
Ben Ghazi Do I need to say anything else?
2.
Homeless Do you remember all those commercials for the homeless population of America during Bush's presidency? I'm all for making the public aware of the homeless but why have the commercials stopped? Is it because Obama is president? Or do we just no longer have homeless people in America?

Remember the media's outrage when the unemployment rates would go above 5% during Bush's terms in office? Well the unemployment rates are currently nearing 8%. The media surely isn't completely silent to that fact but it is nothing compared to how upset they were when it rose during Bush's presidency. Another factor to consider, there is no way to track those people who have completely stopped searching for jobs.

Let's compare what Bush and Biden have said and the media's reaction. Biden has created phony gun statistics, told a man in a wheelchair to STAND UP! and told people "You can't enter a Seven Eleven or a Dunkin' Doughnuts without having a slight Indian accent." (Those are just a few.) I don't hear many in the media realm commenting. Bush makes a slight grammar error and is called a racist by Kanye West. Media is up in arms.
I don't want to get into a debate about the inner workings of each of my examples but simply wanted to provide a few reasons of why I believe the media is definitely bias and ask you, why does the media seem to be more silent on these issues now? (Insert my so-called "conspiracy" theory.)
