Former Republican Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe passed away over the holiday weekend.
This is personal to me because he was my senator. I also knew him, and he was such a gentleman. I knew I could always call and email him. Granted, he represented me, so I had that going for me! I didn’t always agree with him, but he was a no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point guy. You always knew where he stood. He didn’t apologize. He knew Oklahoma and Oklahomans. He knew what his constituents wanted.
Well, the supposed non-partisan mainstream media reacted just like you knew they would: Trash.
I know. It’s not a surprise. But I am so mad (I’m in a bad mood today…I don’t know why.) I just had to write about it.
Inhofe criticized the man-made climate change narrative because it is SCIENCE. He also strongly supported military and defense spending, which the media wanted to be his legacy. The New York Times mentioned Inhofe’s opposition to all the leftist pet narratives for good measure.
Politico, The New York Times, Associated Press, and CNN are just the few who belittled Inhofe. Their articles about leftists who passed? GOLD.
Politico eventually changed its headline.
The New York Times described Democrat Ted Kennedy, who left Mary Jo Kopechne to die in a car he drove into water, as a Senate stalwart.
How about former KKK member Robert Byrd? A Pillar of the Senate!
When Ted died, Politico used his nickname in its headline: Liberal Lion of the Senate! At least the article mentioned Mary Jo Kopechne.
When Byrd died? The Senate lost a “venerable institution.”
The Associated Press when Byrd died? Longest-serving senator in history. How about Teddy? “Family Patriach, Senator.” (The picture is from Local 3 News, but the outlet republished the AP headline and story)
