The Double Standard About Journalists' Bias
by John Stossel
I made The New York Times last week. It even ran my picture. My mother would be proud.
Unfortunately,
the story was critical. It said, "Critics have leaped on Mr. Stossel's
speaking engagements as the latest evidence of conservative bias on the
part of Fox."
Which "critics" had "leaped"? The reporter mentioned Rachel
Maddow. I wouldn't think her criticism newsworthy, but Times reporters
may use MSNBC as their guide to life. He also quoted an "associate
professor of journalism" who said my speeches were "'pretty shameful'
by traditional journalistic standards." All this because I spoke at an
event for Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a "conservative advocacy
group."
