NO! NO! NO!… Liberal media bias is a myth, I know this because the liberal media told me so.
Via Washington Examiner:
On December 10, 2010, at about 10:30 a.m., Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., took to the floor of the United States Senate to attack the deal struck between President Obama and Senate Republicans that extended the President Bush tax rates through the end of 2012. It was a Friday morning, and the Senate had no votes scheduled for the rest of the day, and no other senator wanted to speak.
Sanders then went on to rail against income inequality and Wall Street for almost 9 hours. Here are some of the headlines from media organizations the next day:
The Huffington Post: Bernie Sanders Filibuster: Senator Stalls Tax Cut Deal
CBS News: Bernie Sanders Holds Old-School Filibuster Against Obama-GOP Tax Cut Deal
NPR: Sen. Bernie Sanders ‘Filibusters’ Tax Cut Deal
The Los Angeles Times: Sen. Bernie Sanders ends filibuster
Salon: Bernie Sanders’ epic tax cut filibuster rant
C-SPAN: Sen. Sanders Held a Tax Cut Filibuster
Talking Points Memo: Sanders Ends Daylong Filibuster Of Tax Cut Compromise
Of course, many of these same organizations are now insisting that whatever Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is doing to stop Obamacare funding right now on the Senate floor (he’s been speaking for more than 17 hours), it is not a filibuster.
