GDub and White House Finally Questioning Media Bias

You know, I haven't seen this level of courage and challenge since Ari Fleischer:

The network rattled the White House in November 2006 when it called the conflict in Iraq a “civil war.” On Monday, White House Counselor Ed Gillespie wrote a letter to NBC News President Steve Capus, looking in part for an explanation of how NBC News now views the war.

Dana Perino said Tuesday the administration is “fed up” with the way NBC News is treating the Iraq war.

"I remember very distinctly, how there was a quite the pomp and circumstance when NBC, on The Today Show, decided to declare that they were declaring Iraq was a civil war. But since then, after the surge and things certainly have improved in Iraq, NBC has never had a corresponding ceremony to say that Iraq is not in a civil war. We're just curious to find out what they believe," she said.

We know what they believe. They believe that the US is the most bigoted and evil nation and that our troops are a bunch of baby killers. They believe that we drink the blood of innocents and sacrifice infants to the pagan gods of profit and avarice. In other words, they think the same way as some of the lefty nuts in Ohio and surfer75. But back to the challenge:

Gillespie noted in his letter that “around September of 2007, your network quietly stopped referring to conditions in Iraq as a ‘civil war.’”

In two statements Monday, he asked for clarification.

“Is it still NBC News's carefully deliberated opinion that Iraq is in the midst of a civil war?” he asked in the letter to Capus. “If not, will the network publicly declare that the civil war has ended, or that it was wrong to declare it in the first place?”

In a brief statement later, he said, “We … look forward to hearing their response to our additional concerns about their labeling Iraq as a ‘civil war.’”

So far, NBC News has not responded.

Hmmmm......waiting for the intrepid media to sqwawk their inflated opinions...but wait, when challenged, they go running. Gosh, White House, if only you had been taking this tact in the Scotty McClellan days.....

But wait, we aren't just going after Iraq misrepresentation, either:

On Tuesday, the White House also asked NBC News to explain why it "disavowed" government data that showed the economy is not in a recession.

Of course, the answer here is fairly obvious as well. It doesn't fit into their already designed template to help assure liberal socialist facist victory in November. You know, in Hollywood, it is always the conservatives who are the ones who appear to be fascists manipulating the message of the media. Well, the reality is the opposite. We are being manipulated by the Soros funded MSM who cares only to see the nation which protects freedom ground to its knees in the name of who knows what.
