Last week, we noted that CNSNews.com's Susan Jones made the assumption that Democrats in Congress "apparently plan to play politics" with a bill while ascribing no such motivation to Republicans. She does it again in an Oct. 23 article.
The headline -- "Democrats Playing Politics With Veterans Funding Bill?" -- depicts the bias to follow, and the lead paragraph sets the tone: "Congressional Democrats are stalling a veterans funding bill, and Republicans want the nation to know that, as Veterans Day draws near." The article quotes only Republican leaders and makes no apparent attempt to contact any Democrat to respond to her (and Republicans') accusations.
Such biased writing plays into CNS' longtime assumption that Democrats are motivated only by politics while Republicans are not.
