It is a common complaint that media in general and reporters in particular tend to be biased to the left. Whether that comes through in their reporting or not, that has been my overall experience as well.
My question is, why?
Arguably, the people who cover the news are among the most informed among Americans, right? So how is it that the majority of those who do a lot of research, follow news stories the most closely, and actually talk to the people involved skew in one direction?
I don't have an answer, but it makes one think.

Happy Birthday, Babs!
I never miss "The View," I admit it. Today's episode had the President and First Lady as guests for the whole hour, and happened to coincide with host Barbara Walters' birthday.
You may not know this, but Walters has a quirky habit of stealing souvenirs from the White House whenever she has occasion to be there, which, surprisingly, is still on a regular basis.
Knowing this the Obamas brought Babs a birthday gift - a basket of assorted signature items from the White House, including beer, a golf ball and napkins. See for yourself:

What strikes me funny is the idea of a young black couple bringing an old white lady gifts so she doesn't steal from them!
