…From the Rocky Mountain New’s Mike Rosen:
Investor’s Business Daily and the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, two conservative venues, have been heralding the good news on the sharp decline in the federal deficit. Liberal newspapers have largely buried the story. Now, this isn’t an arcane, technical report of little public interest. These same newspapers were screaming bloody murder when the deficit was growing in recent years. If this was such an important issue when the news was bad, why is it less important when the news is good? It’s been said that behind every double standard lies an unconfessed single standard. You don’t suppose the single standard at work here is the relentless denigration of George W. Bush in the liberal media?
Answer that if you’d like, but I’m fairly certain it’s meant to be rhetorical.

Don’t be ridiculous. Everyone knows the media is fair and objective and, if anything, tilts to the right under the cruel whip of its heartless corporate owners.
MSM has DAD – Deficit Attention Disorder.
Heh.
