Democratic Propaganda Disguised as Election Analysis
By E. Jeffrey Ludwig
Julie Bosman and Monica Davey in a N.Y. Times article, "Republicans Expand Control in a Deeply Divided Nation," use understatement and a rhetoric of "thoughtful analysis" to make their case that Republican victories are negative events even though the people have spoken. By publishing this article, the N.Y. Times once again becomes an instrument of partisan politics under the guise of high-minded journalism. The authors have mastered the art of writing to project a sense that the reader is getting an overview of where we've been, where we are, and where we're going. But in fact, the article is filled with bias against the Republicans. Distortions abound.
Like the liberal-leftist pollsters prior to the election who assessed all data in a distorted way, these writers continue the left's attempt to put the Republicans on the defensive. For example, because of the extent of Republican victories in the Congress and the Executive Branch (and soon the Supreme Court), the writers say all the pressure is on the Republicans to produce. At no point in the article do the authors say that with this Republican return to total power, last seen during the Bush administration during the years 2003-2007, the pressure is on the Democrats to change their philosophy of government or their positions on the issues that have caused them to lose so much ground at the state level as well as at the federal level.
