Why is there such a double standard in the media? After all, a “comedian” like Jon Stewart can use a racial “Amos & Andy” voice to mock Herman Cain, while Glenn would be hounded for even hinting at the same kind of thing. And despite the fact that thousands of kids think of him as the only fair name in media, he can hide behind the “comedian” excuse.
“If I am president, treaties will have to fit on the back of a cereal box. From now on the state of the union address will be delivered in the form of a fortune cookie. I am Herman Cain, and I do not like to read,” Stewart said in his best ‘black voice’.


“Al Sharpton would be in the studio right now demanding that we shut down the transmitter of every station,” Pat said of his comments.
Why can Jon Stewart get away with it?

If you're complaining about not everybody being treated alike, consider this... people with a track record (such as criminals, for example) have earned the stature to be treated with "special attention".

yeah i saw the same thing. i think it is because even "unbiased" media is predominantly liberal.

and by "liberal" i don't mean minority .. i mean the typical entertainment show or news program is made by urban, secular, politically correct, wealthy, feminist, centrist, white people in NY, LA, or Boston, and it reflects their world view.

The right wing loser taking in the video made the most pathetic pulling of the race card I have ever heard.

They get away with it because there's nobody on the left with a spine or the will to hold them to the same standard that they try to hold everything on the right to. The left is willing to completely ignore every single one of their "standard" in order to reelect Obama, even if that means calling Cain a worthless house negro or worse... in their bigoted eyes it's all justified.

I'm a Democrat and I completely 100% endorse the GOP nominating Herman Cain. It would be a blessing.

I rest my case, Liberals have no standards or rational thought process when it comes to attacking people who don't share their liberal agenda.
