Is this article an example of liberal media bias?

Gawain has, in no way, liberal views. In my opinion at least...

Care to provide some proof of that? Why not ask the man himself?

I'll find some soon...

His title, and that club is all the proof I can come up with on the spot...

I just ran across an article in the Village Voice that identifies one of the officers at the Bush photo-op as Master Sergeant Corine Lombardo, 42nd Infantry Division Public Affairs.

One of the Voice's reporters knows her from his time in Tikrit, and says that her job includes taking reporters out to lunch. He also said that she lives in a fortified compound and rarely leaves.

Bush apparently asked her the wrong question: "Is it possible to give us a sense, kind of a calibration of what life was like when you first got there, and what it's like today?"

Her response was to launch into a completely unconnected bit about how swimmingly the training of Iraqi security forces is going, etc., etc. Bush then called her Sergeant Major. Embarrassing.

I'm only mentioning this because it shows just how corrupt and worthless this sort of media display can be. Bush's PR people set up an event where he and military PR people could say nice things to each other in front of the cameras. Then they have the nerve to actually coach the participants in front of the media... and they still expect the media to go along with the idea that this is an unscripted "conversation" with "US troops in Iraq". It's just bad PR.

The media should pull the curtain back on these events more frequently than they do.
