Another story on Global Crossing

I don't think the media bias could be more blatant than this:

From the New York Times.

Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic National Committee Chairman, apparent inflated $100,000 into 18 million buying and selling Global Crossing stock, a fact that still requires me to dive into conservative news sources like Newsmax in order to locate references.

This article contains this statement:

Among the shareholders of Global Crossing at one point was former President George Bush, who took an $80,000 speaking fee in stock that at the peak was worth $14 million. It is not known when, or if, he sold his position.

This article contains NO MENTION of McAuliffe, who DID sell his stock and rake in $18 million.

An interesting link worth browsing, showing the consequences of a mixed economy, is at Mother Jones. To say that Mother Jones is leftist is like saying a pregnant hippo is "portly," but their far-left tendency to despise any form of establishment (remember the '60s?) does lead them to lambast Democrats as evenhandedly as Republicans, which is more than can be said for the more "moderate" mainstream media.
