MSM RULES on HOW TO COVER THE NEWS

The Los Angeles Times is suddenly concerned with sensibilities.

From Google won’t exclude distorted Michelle Obama image from its site:

A crudely altered photograph of Michelle Obama, which often comes up as the first result on a Google image search of her name, will not be removed from the company’s search process despite protests that the depiction is racist and repugnant.

“It’s offensive to many people, but that alone is not a reason to remove it from our search index,” Google Inc. spokesman Scott Rubin said Tuesday. “We have, in general, a bias toward free speech.”

We can not recall any similar worries that the LA Times expressed over the thousands of Bush=Hitler and Bush=chimp pictures that were on Google during his administration.

Here’s the MSM equation for what’s important in the media. It’s works whether talking about the NY Times or the LA version–or TIME or Newsweek or any MSM publication, for that matter. Remember it and you’ll always be in the know.

GOP president = concern for public’s right to know
Dem president = concern for the success of the process
GOP president = concern for freedom of expression
Dem president = concern for sensibilities
GOP president = dissent is good
Dem president = dissent is dangerous

There are others. This is a start. We’ll add more later.
