Media Matters for America

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.
