Justice Sotomayor

Welcome to the Supreme Court. Seems you don't have a lot of friends on the GOP side.

Oh well.

Liberal Media Bias?

Browsing the transcript of the October 17, 2000 debate between Vice-President Gore and Gov. George Bush, I stumbled across this interesting exchange:

VICE PRESIDENT GORE: -- how are the checks going to be -- how are you going to keep faith with the seniors? Now let me come -- let me come directly to your question --

MR. LEHRER: No, I think we're -- we have to go to the closing statements, and --

GOV. BUSH: Well, can I answer that?

MR. LEHRER: Sure.

Interesting, eh? Gore asks liberal moderator Jim Lehrer for time to answer a question, and liberal moderator Jim Lehrer turns him down cold. Sorry, out of time.

Conservative, George Bush, then asks for time to answer the question, and "liberal" Lehrer responds, "Sure."

Somehow this picture isn't adding up. If PBS and Jim Lehrer are liberal, why does Gore get stiffed while Bush is accommodated? Someone help me out here.
