Media Democrat Bias: Headlines You'll Never See in the Mainstream Media (Part II)

This is the second installment of “Headlines You’ll Never See in the Mainstream Media” (see first installment). I add sources so readers can see I am not making these things up.  I encourage readers to supply their own favorite headlines in the comments box.

Here goes the second round:

The Myth About Democrat Voter Suppression In the 2012 Elections

The Supreme Court’s hearing of challenges to the Voting Rights Act may result in a tightening of voting requirements. In anticipation, Democrats are preemptively pushing to make voting and voter registration easier in the court of public opinion. They complain that long lines on Election Day cost “Democrats hundreds of thousands of voters in November.” President Obama is expected to call for further loosening of voter requirements in his State of the Union address.

Democratic media and talking points do not disclose that 2012 wait times were slightly shorter than in 2008, there were no significant differences in wait times by party identification, voters were satisfied with the voting process, and expressed considerable support for voter IDs. The 2012 election was much the same as 2008 but without the same Democrat gnashing of teeth over voter suppression.

No One Ever Learns: The Argentine Price Freeze

Argentina has ordered a price freeze on food products to last until April 1. The price freeze applies to the largest food retailers, which account for seventy percent of the market. It follows a day after the IMF censured Argentina for its manipulated statistics, most importantly its gross underreporting of the inflation rate.  Customers have been urged to keep cash register receipts as proof  if the largest retailers violate the freeze order. 

 

The results are predictable. Market demand will spill over to small retailers who cannot satisfy the demand for food products. Their prices will rise, and there will be two quite different prices of the same food products. Customers of large retailers will stand in line hoping to buy at the frozen price. There is no assurance that there will be anything to buy when they get to the front of the line. Outside Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Coto, Jumbo, and Disco stores, black market sellers will offer customers goods at much higher prices.

Barack Obama Wants YOU --- to Pay $10,000 More To Maintain His Entitlement State

Entitlement spending is the driver of deficits, but entitlement reforms, such as raising the retirement age or converting Medicare to grants, collide with the core of liberal statist thinking. President Obama shows no sign of being willing to put entitlement reform on the table. If anything, the American Nanny State is too small. We must look to Europe to see it done right, those of the liberal persuasion believe.

The fiscal-cliff debunked Obama’s campaign myth that deficits would go away if the “rich paid their fair share.” CBO projections conclude that neither the $700 billion tax hike on the affluent nor the sequestration of discretionary spending will dent the trillion dollar annual deficits we face over the coming decade. With the Government Accountability Office declaring the current fiscal path unsustainable, the Obama administration must explain how it can contain the national debt without significant entitlement reform. So far its approach has been to pretend there is no problem.
