Liberal Washpost

Washington Post reporter Darryl Fears files a report on the Civil Rights Commission with all the typical labeling tricks. “Conservatives” on the commission are using the “conservative Heritage Foundation” and the “libertarian Cato Institute,” with objections from the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, as well as critics at the AARP and the NAACP, none of which are described as liberal groups. (“Liberal co-chair Cruz Reynoso” is used once, although “conservative” is everywhere, including the sub-headline.) I’m sure people who follow the Commission closely will groan at the Fears notion that the chair, Mary Frances Berry was “ousted” by Bush, instead of “refusing to leave when her statutory term ended.”
