Slow day for the Newsbusters crew ...

Newsbusters Managing Editor Ken Sheperd complains about "Comic Books Crawling with Pro-Obama Bias."
What has him so upset? Apparently an upcoming issue of Spiderman features the super hero preventing a villain "from spoiling Obama's swearing-in."
Which pretty much tells you what you need to know about the gang at Newsbusters: not only do they spend their time sniffing out liberal bias in comic books, they consider it an example of "pro-Obama bias" when a criminal is prevented from disrupting Obama's swearing-in. Apparently for the comic industry to remain bias-free, it must depict criminals successfully undermining Obama.

Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
As an aside, I think the people in that business these days, they prefer the term "graphic novel" to that of comic book.
I think it's part of a grand scheme, to someday qualify for Pulitzer Prizes.
