Liberals in the media like to claim there is no left-wing bias in their news coverage, but if their worldview is Alinsky-like to begin with, that’s often how they see and report things. Moreover, it explains why so many of them end up working for left-wing politicians or leftist organizations and, when they finish their “public service,” they go right back to their biased news rooms. A new Media Reality Check by MRC Vice President Brent Baker shows that at least 30 news reporters now work for the Obama administration or had worked in the administration and are now back toiling in a liberal media outlet. The two most recent revolving-door liberals are Ronan Farrow, a former State Department “Youth” adviser who now has his own show on MSNBC, and Joy-Ann Reid, a former Obama campaign aide who also was given a show on MSNBC. Below are a selection from the 30 revolving-door Obama-tons/journalists.

Nets Spin Pope Although Pope Francis has repeated the Catholic Church’s unalterable opposition to abortion, contraception, and homosexual “marriage,” the liberal networks keep trying to spin that fact away. On the one-year anniversary of Francis’s pontificate, Mar. 13, NBC Today’s Anne Thompson reported that Catholic students she interviewed were “thrilled” that the Pope was talking about other things besides abortion and gays, and “getting back to the original message of Jesus Christ.” So traditional marriage was not the message of Jesus Christ? Over at CBS, reporter Mark Phillips slammed 86-year-old Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI as “reclusive and tired” but praised Pope Francis for having “seemed to reject The liberal networks keep spin- the Vatican line that homosexuality was an intrinsic disorder.” CBS then quoted ning news about Pope Francis to the left while downplaying leftist Vatican reporter Marco Politi ludicrously claiming, “This means a new look on his clear opposition to abortion divorce, on second marriage, a new look on homosexuality, on homosexual unions, and gay “marriage.” on contraceptives.” ...
