Media Gives Schumer a Pass While Attacking Palin and Bachmann
10 Comments | Printer Friendly Tags: Chris Matthews, Chuck Schumer, Dan Gerstein, Michelle Bachmann, MSNBC, Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann have become common fodder for Chris Matthews and the gang at MSNBC in particular, but when Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) committed a gaffe on Sunday they were deathly silent. Matthews, who has cited Palin over 400 times in the last couple of years (and not in a positive way), has now turned his attention to Bachmann by calling the Minnesota Congresswoman a “zombie” or “balloon head.”
Fox’s Megyn Kelly discussed whether or not all the attention of the gaffes made by Palin and Bachmann were due to sexism or some other type of bias:
Schumer’s gaffe about the three branches of government had to be at least equal, if not more egregious, than anything Palin or Bachmann has said recently. We have heard nary a word on this error. Kelly asked Democratic strategist Dan Gerstein what his take was on this and stated “I don’t think this is evidence of sexism, I do think there is media bias” and that Schumer gets some latitude because people think he’s smart.
What? He admitted there is media bias and he didn’t put the word conservative in front of it. Does that mean he admits there is a liberal media bias against Palin and Bachmann? While there may be some sexism involved it is clear that it is really a bias against these women because they are strong and effective conservative leaders who have built a large following, frightening the liberal media. Schumer didn’t get a pass because people think he’s smart. They know he misspoke as Gerstein said, but because he is a powerful Democratic member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the media wouldn’t embarrass one of their own.

The hypocrisy and bigotry just keeps on and on. They don’t care. It’s about getting their agenda passed and protected. And that means protecting their own and trashing everyone else.
The media lies and bias is like the energizer bunny they keep on GOING AND GOING AND GOING
What do you expect from a schmuck named “Chuck”??? They do not teach civics in school any more,,,but if “Chuck” spent his time,energy,& OUR money getting Civics restored to the School systems,,maybe one of his aides
would know what Law school “Chuck” doesn’t & bring him up to speed.
This is the same “Chuck” that says what kind of weapons you may NOT own,but
does NOT tell you that HE has a Carry Permit. Save us from the PRO-Left.
Palin and Bachmann sound like characters straight out of a comic book ALL the time; Schumer sounds like that only once in a great while!
When Palin or Bachmann make a verbal error, the Left and their media amplify it and repeat it until they come up with another way to diminish them. If Palin or Bachmann don’t make a verbal error, the Left and their media makes something up. When someone on the Left makes a verbal error, the LSM changes the subject.
Finding the truth in all this Left-wing, Right-wing media is difficult. I worry most for my children. Will they ever know what the truth is in our messed up world?
This is coming from a man who doesn’t even know the three branches of Government, in a very recent interview on NBC proclaimed the three branches of Government were; The Congress, the Senate, and the President.
The three branches of government are the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judiciary. As for Schumer’s thoughts on Palin and Bachmann, is only because they are more intelligent than he…
We are called the ‘Right’ for a good reason, we are!
Wes,,Do not pick on Schumer,,,or as we NY’ers call him,”Chuck da Schmuck”
just because he is a do-as-I-say,,not-as-I-do hypocrite. He’s from Brooklyn,,whaddya ‘spect from dis Bum,,,genius?? Oy Vey!!!
No surprise here noting that these rotten liberal journalists are big time supporters of the demacrook party in every election
