Media bias, yet again

Michelle Malkin exposes more blatant partisanship by some of the biggest broadcast and print news organizations.

CNN and other partisan news services are delighting in exposing how firms with Republican ties are profiting from providing services in New Orleans:

Companies with ties to the Bush White House and the former head of FEMA are clinching some of the administration's first disaster relief and reconstruction contracts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

At least two major corporate clients of lobbyist Joe Allbaugh, President Bush's former campaign manager and a former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, have already been tapped to start recovery work along the battered Gulf Coast.

One is Shaw Group Inc. and the other is Halliburton Co. subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root. Vice President Dick Cheney is a former head of Halliburton.



Wow... those corrupt Republicans at it again, huh? The only problem is that CNN neglected to mention that Shaw Group Chairman and CEO Jim Bernhard is the Chairman of the Louisiana Democratic Party, and that he is a huge friend and supporter of Governor Kathleen Blanco.

Other mainstream media conveniently omitting these facts while connecting contractors to Allbaugh: the New York Times, UPI, and MSNBC/Reuters.
