A Sept. 20 NewsBusters post by Matthew Balan complained that “The Big Three networks unequivocally celebrated the end of the military’s ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy as a ‘historic moment’ on their Tuesday morning programs.”
That’s right — Balan is complaining that a historic event is being described in the media as historic.
The MRC has an issue with conceding that historical events are historic when they involve arguably liberal causes. Earlier this year, Balan cited as an example of John Roberts’ “reputation for liberal bias” his description of America’s first presidential primary between a black and a woman as “historic.”
