Pardon Me, Your Freudian Slip Is Showing

Dr. Sanity happened to comment on the same article I did. She has a take that is worthy of repeating. Commenting both on CNN's completely false translation of the Iraqi Minister's remarks and the  (since corrected, isn't that odd?) CBS story that said that Representative Jefferson is a Republican. Her take:

Anyone following the story knows full well that the congressman in question is a Democrat whose antics have (for now anyway) put a halt to the "culture of corruption" talking points that the Democrats have unwisely been using against the Republicans.

John suggests that this is "wishful thinking" on CBS's part. I would call both of these instances of "Freudian Slips" on the part of the MSM.

A Freudian Slip is is an error in speech or emotion that reveals an unconscious motive. The two examples above just happened to occur in the latest 24 hour news cycle.

At any rate, I prefer to think of the errors as Freudian slips; and revealing basically the unconscious bias of some of our major news outlets (or at the least their complete unconsciousness)–because the alternative explanation is that the MSM is deliberately and maliciously trying to distort the news and mislead the American public to further its own political agenda.

The press is above that sort of thing, right?

Right.
