Whereas liberal journalists and politicians live in dread of offending anyone from specially selected groups: themselves, of course, as well as homosexuals, animal rights criminals, Hollywood celebrities, radical environmentalists, Muslims (see the next post, What AP's Faisal Shahzad Story Doesn't Report) -- they feel completely free to smear without warrant other groups: Christians, 2nd Amendment defenders, pro-lifers, big business and conservatives in general.
Here's an example Brent Baker from NewsBusters provides:
With Katie Couric drawing him out, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg agreed the Times Square car bombing was likely “homegrown” as he proceeded, in an interview excerpt run on Monday's CBS Evening News, to speculate it could have been placed by “somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”
Could be “anything,” but the first thing Bloomberg thinks of are those who don't like ObamaCare, presumably conservatives or Tea Party activists.
