Joe Biden and the three letter word and media bias towards parties of the left



That's yet another Joe Biden gaffe and from the main news channels, nothing. Dan Quayle's "potatoe" moment was endlessly played and laughed about during and after the 192 election but he was a Republican and fair game whereas Joe Biden is a Democrat and therefore not up for ridicule.

I have blogged about this type of political double standard before, most often with regard to the way that the BBC love to play the video of John Redwood failing to sing the words of Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau but have yet to play the video of Gordon Brown picking his nose during one of Tony Blair's PMQs. I know which I find funnier and I know which I think the general public would be more interested in seeing. Most of the general public unfortunately don't know or care who John Redwood is but they do know who Gordon Brown is and the video showing him in all his vileness would be of interest. The BBC however have a "narrative" to keep to and that narrative is of evil, nasty and stupid Tories being held at bay by the glorious "Superman" Gordon Brown. So as the BBC won't show the video, I will...
