There is an old saying in journalism that there are no dumb questions, only dumb answers. The proof of the pudding came when Ben Carson foolishly answered a hypothetical question about Islam to say he could never support a Muslim for president. His answer was a self-inflicted wound — he should have sensed the trap and sidestepped it. But the media reaction also proved another point. No sooner had Carson spoke than virtually all other Republican candidates were asked to react to his comment. . So why doesn’t the media demand that Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley and Jim Webb either defend or criticize Clinton’s conduct? Why are her party rivals not burdened with her behavior and forced to declare their opinions in the same way all Republican candidates must answer for Carson’s far-lesser sin? Easy answer — media bias and a double standard. There’s nothing new in that, but moments like this are telling. They are a reminder, if any were needed, that the leftward tilt of the mainstream media still has enough power to set the agenda, or silence it.
