(MSNBC Update) The media being what it, unfortunately, is

UPDATE: Why is MSNBC aping George Orwell's villains?    "In George Orwell's 1984, we find this dystopian observation taking place in the fictional land of Oceania:
The family could not actually be abolished, and, indeed, people were encouraged to be fond of their children, in almost the old-fashioned way. The children, on the other hand, were systematically turned against their parents and taught to spy on them and report their deviations. The family had become in effect an extension of the Thought Police. It was a device by means of which everyone could be surrounded night and day by informers who knew him intimately.

Our hopelessly biased and transparently partisan media  "Technically speaking, the younger Salmon was probably not "booked" in the sense he had confirmation of appearing on the air. But there is absolutely no doubt that the networks lost interest in him once it became clear he wouldn't go on air to "trash" his father.
"Not admitting that is the same as lying."

Imus: Jesus May Have Been Gay  "Make a racist remark, get fired by CBS. Call Jesus Christ gay, and you’re good to go. Just ask Don Imus."
 
ABC Family Leads the Way in All Things Gay "New lesbian foster couple show will fit right in with network’s idea of ‘family.’ "

When Pat Robertson sold his “Family Channel” to Disney with the stipulation that the word “family” never leave the channel’s title, he probably wasn’t thinking families would include pregnant teens and lesbian foster couples. But that’s exactly what Disney’s ABC Family channel holds up as “A new kind of family.”
Disney isn't Disney anymore.

By the way: Thousands March for Marriage; Media Ignore Them
"The broadcast outlets were silent on the event, choosing not to cover a march of thousands of people on the Supreme Court."

 ABC, CBS and NBC Turn a Blind Eye to ObamaCare Setbacks "The following setbacks for ObamaCare haven't received a single second of air time on the Big Three networks:"
On March 22, ObamaCare hit a major snag when even 33 Senate Democrats openly defied the President as they joined 45 Republicans in voting to repeal a 2.3 percent sales tax, crucial to paying for ObamaCare, on medical devices such as pacemakers and MRI machines. The measure was co-sponsored by liberal Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar, who said in a statement that she would "continue to work to get rid of this harmful tax."
Fox News Reporter Faces Jail Time for Maintaining Sources' Secrecy, Yet Liberal Media Not Taking Up Her Cause  "Fox News reporter Jana Winter may serve six months in jail for refusing to disclose to a court two anonymous sources from a story she broke on July 25, 2012, related to alleged Aurora, Colorado theater shooter James Holmes."
