More about The N&O's news bias

Scott Pierce at Right in Raleigh is asking Raleigh's News & Observer questions it doesn't want to answer.

Why isn't The N&O reporting the illegal activities of close associates of liberal Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York? Those activities include credit card information theft. Why, Scott wants to know, this latest news blackout that's so much like The N&O's news blackout of the Air America scandal story until overwhelming reader demand forced it to run at least a "buried inside" story?

There's lot's more that Scott is asking about. He has a post on N&O headline bias. Can you imagine headline bias in The N&O? It's the paper with a Fairness and Accuracy policy, right?

Well, you won't have to imagine The N&O's headline bias if you visit Scott's blog.

Go to Right in Raleigh and just keep scrolling. Besides lots about The N&O, you'll learn something of what former FBI director Louis Freeh is saying about former President Bill Clinton. It will upset the folks who like to say, "Clinton rocks."

Keep asking those questions Scott. Who knows, maybe someday the far-distant N&O owner, California-based The McClatchy Company, will decide to give Raleigh and environs a better newspaper with a real Fairness and Accuracy policy that translates into fairness and accuracy in The N&O. Can anyone imagine that?

JohnInCarolina - You keep getting confused about how the MSM guides us to the most important news.

Relax and just listen to the highly educated people who know best....
