Delusion. That’s a good word to describe some journalists and hosts who deny liberal media bias. A good example of that was found on December 21, 2011. Far-left MSNBC host Rachel Maddow told Slate: “I think the thing that is underappreciated about MSNBC is that we don’t really do anything as a company, that we all sorta get to do our own thing. There may be liberals on TV at MSNBC, but the network is not operating with a political objective.”
On December 16, 2000, Time columnist Margaret Carlson cheered on Hillary Clinton’s book advance, justifying that “the independent counsel impoverished her.” Maybe that’s why Hillary, to this day, is going on money-making tours.
