More than likely, you don't even know who Kendall & Gwendolyn Myers are.
[F]ederal prosecutors allege that Mr. Myers, now 72, used his top-secret clearance as a State Department analyst to steal classified information from government files for nearly three decades, and that Ms. Myers, 71, who worked as a bank clerk, helped pass the information to Cuban handlers. They were arrested earlier this month and are being held without bail.If you read further about the Myers, you will see that they were both politically active in the Democratic party. Ms. Myers even worked as a political aide for South Dakota Democrat Senator James Abourezk. Previously she had worked in Gov. McGovern's campaign for President, as well as assisting Tom Daschle and current aide to President Obama Pete Rouse.
Von Brunn was a whack job that anyone representing the Republican party would surely dismiss and distance themselves from. The Myers were going to parties with the big wigs. But yet Von Brunn's crimes result in dispicable editorials such as this one in the New York Times by Frank Rich, which suggests that Fox News and general disagreement with Obama's policies fostered the hate that resulted in Von Brunn's murder of Stephen Tyrone Johns.
I normally laugh when I hear indignant liberals talk about how the press is not biased and that Fox News is the problem. The Myers indangered all of us and it can be directly linked to a "blame America first" mindset, yet such analysis is NOWHERE in the coverage. Well allow me to be the first to say "It's all your fault" to the party in blue.

Even my true blue father is now watching Fox. When the D's experienced Hillary v Obama and the late-night comics had a period of great material, they realized that news reporting is indeed extremely slanted.
Still damaging the pursuit of truth:
