As we’ve previously noted, the Media Research Center is much more interested in scoring political points than doing actual media research. Yet another example surfaces in a Jan. 3 NewsBusters post by Matthew Balan, in which he recounts John Roberts’ purported “reputation for liberal bias.”
Balan’s first example of “liberal bias”? Calling the 2008 Democratic primary “historic.” No, really. Apparently Balan doesn’t think that a presidential primary between a woman and a black is not “historic.”
By the way, Balan could come up with only 13 examples of “liberal bias” from Roberts, even though he has been in network news for 17 years. That’s not much of a reputation, is it?
