The Media One-Sided?

House China Working Group co-chair Reps. Rick Larsen (D-Wash) and Mark Kirk (R-Ill) – criticized the media for taking a one-side view of US trade relations with China. Speaking at the Center for American Progress, they said that the media is far too happy to point to the giant bilateral trade imbalance, without taking note of rapidly increases US exports to China. Much of those exports are assembled in final products which return to the United States.
Why is there any surprise that the media is one-sided on the China issue? Have Messieurs Larsen and Kirk been following the War on Terror coverage? How about Global Warming? The Palestinian/Israeli predicament? Reaching back a bit, how about the Vietnam War?

The media members cover one side of things because they all come from one party. The party of Harvard, Yale, Tulane, MIT, UCLA professors.
