Caller Daily Report Inquiries Sarah Palin Acting Media Bias

Sarah Palin and other conservatives are pointing to a "BOMBSHELL!" story in the Daily Caller as evidence of media bias in the "lamestream media."

The story centers on a former listserv called JournoList. It documents how the members of the listserv - many of them journalists - complained about ABC News' treatment of then-candidate Barack Obama in a 2008 debate.

In the ostensibly-private forum, JournoList members complained about the questions ABC News anchors asked during the debate about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal, the story reveals. One urged other members of the list to call Mr. Obama's conservative critics racist to deflect attention from the scandal, while another pushed for collaboration on an open letter complaining about the questioning. Later, a member of the group called for journalists to ignore the Wright controversy.

"People in Montana and across the country are trying to find a job in this tough economy, and with each passing day, these benefits had expired one day, Americans are concerned about how they will feed their families while they look for work," Baucus said in a press release. "I urge my colleagues to stand with us in support of American families and to restore the unemployment insurance benefits, which are often the only life many researchers in this tough economy."
