Sign petition demanding apology from Orlando TV station for phony interview with Biden

At Firedoglake, here.

It's a tale of two interview subjects and one GOP-agenda-driven "journalist." And what a tale it is. JedReport took a peek at [W]FTV's Barbara West and interviews with Joe Biden and John McCain. The side by side comparison is astonishing. . . .

Matt Stoller's done a series of posts recently about issues of bias in local media, and repeated use of hand-fed GOP talking points as "research" which is worth watching closely. With the advent of media consolidation, more and more local stations are in the hands of fewer and fewer large corporate conglomerates, and that's not good for fact-checking or diversity of opinion. . . .
