SF Chronicle covers Air America's Al Franken

Blogger Brian Maloney at Radio Equalizer reports the San Francisco Chronicle has still not mentioned the Air America loan scandal.

BUT, the Chronicle's not ignoring liberal Air America's best-known talk show host, Al Franken.

There's a movement underway to convince the U. S. Postal Service to issue a stamp honoring the late Grateful Dead band member and composer Jerry Garcia. The Chronicle tells readers:

Talk show host Al Franken has mentioned the idea of a Garcia stamp on his Air America radio program, and a new Web site, www.garciastamp.org, has just sprung up.

Almost all MSM editors say liberal bias has nothing to do with what and how they report the news.

So ignore any mention of the Air America loan scandal but tell readers about Al Franken's memorial stamp work and give readers a web address where they can learn more about it.

No liberal bias in any of that. Just good MSM journalism.

Brian and Michelle Malkin's blogs remain the places to go for anyone following the evolving Air America mess. If it gets much bigger, New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer won't have any spare time left to campaign for the Gubernatorial nomination.

John,

Jerry Garcia is from San Francisco, born and raised, so it's hardly surprising they would run that story.

I will, however, not disagree that the SF Chronicle is liberal, though I never read it when I lived in the Bay Area (I was also born and raised in the SF Bay Area).
