With this year's vice presidential picks expected any day now, time to go into the MRC archive for a look back to 2000 when Dan Rather's left-wing tilt still got air time on a major network.
When George W. Bush named Dick Cheney, Rather introduced the Tuesday, July 25, 2000 CBS Evening News story by relaying the derisive and negative Democratic spin against the GOP ticket:
When George W. Bush named Dick Cheney, Rather introduced the Tuesday, July 25, 2000 CBS Evening News story by relaying the derisive and negative Democratic spin against the GOP ticket:
In the presidential campaign, the official announcement and first photo-op today of Republican George Bush and his running mate Richard Cheney. Democrats were quick to portray the ticket as quote 'two Texas oilmen' because Cheney was chief of a big Dallas-based oil supply conglomerate.
They also blast Cheney's voting record in Congress as again quote, 'outside the American mainstream' because of Cheney's votes against the Equal Rights for Women Amendment, against a woman's right to choose abortion -- against abortion as Cheney prefers to put it -- and Cheney's votes against gun control. Republicans see it all differently, most of them hailing Bush's choice and Cheney's experience.
But two weeks later, his glowing Tuesday, August 8, 2000 set up of the Gore-Lieberman pairing forwarded the Democratic ticket’s boasts about themselves which included a sly dig at Bush-Cheney:
Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore officially introduced his history-making running mate today, Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut. History-making because Lieberman is of Jewish heritage and faith. The two started running right away. In their first joint appearance they gave a preview of the Gore-Lieberman fight-back, come-back strategy. Their message: They represent the future, not the past, and they are the ticket of high moral standards most in tune with real mainstream America. More, with videos at Newsbusters:
Ahhh, the good old days, huh, Dan? GD communist -- you didn't fool EVERYBODY -- but nice try anyway, jackass.
Why does the media pretend to be unbiased but they ALWAYS tell you to vote for the communists? Is that just a weird coincidence? Why do they almost ALWAYS lose? Why are all the communist tickets "history making?"
I'll give them ONE thing, they NEVER give up -- EVER. Every single day they're out there pounding away for communism. They NEVER, EVER, rest.

"High moral standards most in tune with real mainstream America"?
Let me tell you something about the high moral standards of real mainstream america- they want to get paid, buffeted and laid. After that, it's every man for himself. I don't know about you, but that's not "high moral standards" any more than a hog on a farm has high moral standards.
