60 Minutes, The Ground Zero Mosque & LGF: What Else Is New?

I was too busy last night watching another hilarious episode of Hee Haw and waiting for the season premiere of The Amazing Race (great start of anew race!) to bother paying attention to what was on 60 Minutes, but it turned out (oh, surprise! surprise!) they gave a biased account of the Ground Zero mosque.

Pamela Geller, who was interviewed (if you can call it that) by 60 Minutes, pointed out the many things the folks at CBS forgot to cover (and overlook) in their story at Atlas Shrugs, not to mention their slanting of both Ms. Geller (a far-right blogger? oh brother!) and the proponents of the Ground Zero mosque.  Every time I've watched a story like this on 60 Minutes, it's always a biased account.  Got any ideas why I don't watch 60 Minutes now?  Anyone?

Also not that altogether surprising (who am I kidding, there's nothing surprising about this one either!), the reaction at Little Green Footballs was typical, attempting to back up its claim of Ms. Geller as “a disgusting human being” with the coverage featured on 60 Minutes.  In addition to usual cow manure equivalency constantly peddled at LGF, the commenters there immediately got things started by objectifying Ms. Geller:

Down the comment thread quite a ways, there was also this:

Yeah, that's what they usually say when talking about her.  Add to that the slanted, biased and trumped coverage (courtesy of a commenter at Atlas Shrugs on the trumped part) of CBS, with the usual peddling of cow manure equivalence at LGF, what else is new?
