Here's the quote you quoted:

"With a 1) quick-from-the-lip repartee, 2) broadcaster's good looks and a 3) relentlessly bright outlook - 4) if not always a command of the facts - 5) he became a popular figure around the country 6) to the delight of his White House bosses."

In this quote, which you and others deem as an example of the liberal media giving a conservative figure a parting shot and saying he "screwed up," you have 6 points, 5 of which are overwhelmingly positive.

The other simply states that he sometimes didn't have a command of the facts, which a) is the job of the WHPS to have the facts he or she is going to be discussing, and b) is something Snow even acknowledged about his job as WHPS.

There was no call for it, and it was basically a cheap shot. You can try to justify it. So you think Russert never made a mistake? Most conservatives knew the way he leaned, but I only saw respect and admiration for him. I'm not being defensive, just pointing out the obvious. You act like because everything that was said wasn't a complete bash of the man that the point is null, but that's you.

The media (and everyone who works in the media) hates hard-working conservatives, Republicans, and God-fearing Americans and everything they stand for. They favor anyone who is left of center and paint them in a glowing light. They take unfair digs at anyone who is right of center and paint them as evildoers. They're biased against anything conservative and will try to distort the truth to tear down conservative principles. Anything that comes out of their mouths or laptops, rest assured, is unfair and biased toward liberal interests.

Conservatives, on the other hand, are always respectful of their counterparts -- they never distort the facts to paint their enemies in a negative light, but simply use facts to tell the truth. They constantly battle against the liberal media and have to work hard to overcome this bias.

Is that what you want to hear?

Why? Both are lies.........

Perhaps I am wrong, but death should be a celebration of the person's life but if you work for Bush you are a son of a b#$ch!

I haven't read the thread, don't really need to. I'll just say this about Tony Snow.

His politics and his style as press secretary really annoyed me. I found him condescending, arrogant, and almost always defending the indefensible (not because all things in the Bush W.H. are indefensible, but because the press tended to focus on and to question him at length about those policy decisions that were particularly ill-founded).

But since he passed away, I've been truly impressed by the commentary that has come out about him as a person. He was apparently witty and down-to-Earth and played in a rock band and people enjoyed him once they got away from the politics of things. Surely, in the grander scheme of things, he was way too young to die, even if I did not like his politics or the way he did his job.

R.I.P.

No, whenever a criticism (which was unwarranted) is leveled at someone who was conservative and has recently passed is just the media "doing their job" right?

The meida is 80% liberal. (http://http://www.mediaresearch.org/...t063004_p1.asp)

Please make more posts acting like I'm exaggerting their overwhelming bias... it reflects more on you than me. For the record, if the media wasn't so obviously biased, people that you can't stand like Rush, hannity etc would be out of a job.

For the last time, it was a cheap shot at a decent human being. I'm not saying like his politics, just show some respect. I didn't hear conservatives say anything even slightly negative when Peter Jennings and Tim Russert passed. But you're right, I'm blowing it out of proportion, and I have no right to say anything. I better get used to that idea when socialism takes over, right?
