How The Media Spins Grieving Parents Based on Political Party

It doesn't get any more blatant.

While it may not come as a shock to those of us who've seen the bias all along, other media consumers in this country still don't believe left-wing media pervades mainstream media.

With that in mind, here's additional proof of just how egregious that bias has gotten. The American Mirror blog juxtaposed two different headlines from the same MSNBC author about two different grieving parents who spoke at their party conventions.

The grieving parents of fallen American soldier Humayun S.M. Khan were upheld in the highest esteem and depicted as in control of their own minds, while Pat Smith, mother of another American hero -- Benghazi victim Sean Smith -- was painted as nothing more than a political prop by the GOP.

Mainstream media attacked Pat Smith routinely after her speech, with anchors like Chris Matthews accusing her of lying outright.

During her interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace Sunday, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton even went so far as to say that Ms. Smith, in the throes of grief immediately following the Benghazi siege, had poor recollection of what she had been told concerning her son's death. Ms. Smith maintains that Hillary Clinton told her that her son's death was the result of an uprising caused by a low-budge anti-Islam YouTube video, and that the maker of that video would be brought to justice. The former Secretary of State now asserting that the grieving Benghazi mother was too emotion to remember that conversation accurately.

The Kahn's, meanwhile, are being upheld to a much different standard, and no mainstream media outlet has deigned question their grief has having catalyzed their emotional speech at the Democratic National Convention.
