When the Times Square bomb was discovered, the usual suspects in the press once again showed us how objective they really are. Geraldo Rivera, keen to outdo Keith Olbermann in the irrelevance department, blamed it all on white people, racists and conservative extremists (which are all the same thing to Jerry Rivers, apparently). And Katie Couric interviewed tiny but autocratic New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg who ventured a guess that the bomber would turn out to be: “Someone home-grown, a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health-care bill or something.” Couric didn’t even blink or question that.

Why would she?  It fit the narrative.

And let’s not forget MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer, who revealed her frustration that the suspect is an Islamic terrorist. The horror!

I mean the thing is that — and I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.

What a shame it wasn’t some white person, in other words. Isn’t it just racist to assume Muslim terrorists blow things up? I mean, really!

Why assume the obvious when you have a narrative you want to sling, which is that the tea party and conservatives are the only real threat to society?After all, they tried to block Obamacare! What an outrage. Why would anyone want to prevent people from dealing with massive, uncaring government bureaucracy for their healthcare instead of much smaller insurance bureaucracy which you could at least fire if you didn’t like them? Why try to prevent the formation of “death panels” and the destruction of medical innovation and doctor shortages unless you’re just downright mean?

So the media just had to get those digs in. I’m sure Mayor Bloomberg is busting with pride seeing how his CSI-like sleuthing figured out this whodunit in the blink of an ideological eye. Or maybe not.

Ever since the tea parties became a growing threat to the establishment, their lackeys in the zombie media have tried to hammer home the message that tea parties are evil. And why not blame them for terrorism now, since calling them racists didn’t work.

But reality has a way of raining on their parade, no matter how they like to spin it. An Pakistani man was arrested while boarding a flight to Dubai. He’s admitted to creating the bomb. Oops!

The mindless animosity the press seems to have toward the tea party is beginning to sound like the rhetoric of a hate group.  It’s long past the ridiculous stage. Pretty soon those corporate logos on the alphabet networks are going to look like symbols people get tattooed on their biceps in some prison gang. The fabled “objectivity” of the press is more mythical than the unicorns President Obama rides to work on every day.

Will the press ever get off that “infotainment” shtick and get back to real journalism? Or are they doomed to ever-dwindling viewership until they finally vanish from sight like that little white dot in the center of an old TV screen when it’s turned off. At the rate they’re going, it’s a moot point.
