CHART: New low for 'rag'

From Sunday’s, Feb. 17 Press, I see, Mr. Patrick, that you are a “modern day hero.” Wow! Your interview with Vanessa Otero and the publication of her Media Bias Chart has established a new low in the left-leaning status of this “rag” that you keep pretending publishes meaningful and factual news. What you left out of this article is nothing short of journalistic malfeasance.

Ms. Otero and her organization, Ad Fontes Media, are nothing other than the opinion of one person. Ms. Otero. Your presentation of this chart as some wonderful piece of research, to be used as a meaningful tool, just doesn’t make the cut. Some things that maybe you should have included in your article.

Ms. Otero was raised in a liberal Democrat family, is a registered Democrat who by her own admission is a liberal and has voted for every Democrat presidential candidate, since she was eligible to vote. Does this perhaps bias her chart? I can tell you with reasonable assurance that her favorite news channel is CNN. Just check the chart.
