If you want to see Press Bias 101 in action, this is a phenomenal example of it.

President Obama made headlines during his appearance on: “The Tonight ShowWith Jay Leno,” one of his numerous appearances over the years (back in 2009, he was the: first sitting president: to appear on the show).: The President talked with Jay about a myriad of topicssuch as the NSA (he says that we don’t have a domestic spying program), the threat from Al Qaeda, and Trayvon Martin. However, it was when the discussion turned to infrastructure that the president failed on some fairly basic American geography – and it’s not getting much attention.

How did he screw up? A clip from the official transcript of the interview – sent out by the White House* – says it all:

LENO: : You mentioned infrastructure.:  Why is that a partisan issue?:  I live in a town, the bridge is falling apart, it’s not safe.:  How does that become Republican or Democrat?:  How do you not just fix the bridge?:  (Laughter and applause.)

THE PRESIDENT::  I don’t know.:  As you know, for the last three years, I’ve said, let’s work together.:  Let’s find a financing mechanism and let’s go ahead and fix our bridges, fix our roads, sewer systems, our ports.:  [You know], the Panama [Canal] is being widened so that these big supertankers can come in.:  Now, that will be finished in 2015.:  If we don’t deepen our ports all along the Gulf – places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida – if we don’t do that, those ships are going to go someplace else.:  And we’ll lose jobs.:  Businesses won’t locate here.

The president was talking about deepening our ports along the Gulf, and yet he only referenced cities along the Atlantic Ocean coastline.

When a Republican makes a mistake like that, the mainstream media locks in on it like a bulldog, declares that it means that the Republican is stupid and repeats it endlessly as evidence of his idiocy. That’s how the media convinces people that Republicans like Dan Quayle, George W. Bush & Sarah Palin are stupid, even though all of them probably have at least 20-30 IQ points on Obama at a minimum. It’s fair to say that Barack Obama is one of the dumbest, least competent men ever to be in the Oval Office and if he were a Republican, everyone would already be saying it.
