Rachael Barnhart's Liberal Bias
Rachael Barnhart is the best reporter in Rochester, NY currently. She has had the bravery to question everything from the Jazzfest to Lovely Warren. Her twitter account has over 20,000 followers and her facebook page regularly generates 100s of comments for news items she posts. But, she also has a clear liberal bias, which she would never admit to but is plain to see. One only needs to go to her twitter account and observe the many liberal stories she retweets contrasted to the number of conservative slanted stories she retweets. (guess what there are no conservative stories).
Need some examples Here we go:
She retweeted this is from a well known liberal blog, she retweets failing to note it is an opinion piece not a factual piece:

Oh she hates suburban sprawl:
"Suburban #Sprawl: Not as cheap as you think. The hidden costs are paid by all." Via @sustpro, worth repeating.
Another great liberal blog piece (still not a single piece that is conservative slanted:
Why free parking is bad for everyone http://bit.ly/1jYRwRi

She has no time to read conservative writes but does have time to insult them:
Ann Coulter, what the heck is wrong with you? http://www.clarionledger.com/story/opinion
She has time to retweet PR for LGBT but not to retweet an op ed from the Wall St Journal:

I went back for the entire month of June not a single conservative opinion piece a bunch more liberal ones though. What a joke? Sometimes reporters do a poor job of hiding their liberal bias.
