Just like you read Daily Kos and watch MSNBC.

Why would you lump the WSJ in with Fox News?

I've never read Daily Kos. I assume it's the liberal version of the WSJ?

I do watch Morning Joe from time to time though. Right after I check out Rollimg Stone of course.

The first one wasn't snarky enough?

I've watched Morning Joe on occasion, but only because I dated the executive producer in HS. I'm at work when thats on.

Morning Joe may be the least offensive show on MSNBC.

Personally, think the news part of WSJ is pretty middle of the road, the editorial page certainly isn't.

Don't know if you can say the AP is biased, but come on, you guys can't tell me that if a Hispanic Democrat had a picture like that there'd be no demands for apologies from Donks in congress and that liberal blogs and commentators wouldn't be shouting about systemic racism at the top of their lungs. :lol:

Shame on his crew for not removing that to being with. I worked on a few campaigns and it was common to remove everything from the walls b/c all it takes is an image of your candidate with something like that or some out of context word to become a meme and a distraction.

JFC.

You mamby-pampy Conservatives look for offense anywhere.

Dumbshit Cruz was giving a speech in a ROOM with all the walls covered in gun pics.

If the press hadn't taken pictures, you'd be pissing and moaning about liberal bias.

True...but the photo is taken from a rather strange angle (normally frontal, not side)

And the photographer had to line it up just right to get the picture...

Then, among the 17 - 20 pictures submitted by the photographer, the photo editor had to pick just that one to use...

Nah, no bias there... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I saw a picture of the room (can't find it right now) and there were posters of guns EVERYWHERE in the room - most any angle would get the same result.

As Ibanez said - bad planning on Cruz's campaign.

Take a picture from the normal angle (front) and get the same outcome...

I'll wait over here while you come up with another reason to justify this...

Go ahead - you are the one all upset about it. Not justifying anything. Just can't believe how upset a bunch of gun-humpers are about their savior being shown with a gun.
