Bloomberg News Sinks to New Low

I know Michael Bloomberg is a clown and an aspiring tyrant.  I didn’t realize his news service had decided to compete with MSNBC for the title as the most ludicrous news organization on the planet (after Al Jazeera, of course).  Check out this headline from yesterday:

House Republicans Set to Defy Obama Are Mostly White Men

The core group of Republicans who are pushing the House toward a showdown with the White House over the debt ceiling and government spending is made up of 41 members — all white men except for two.

Except for two?  I’m sure if Bloomberg tries hard enough, they’ll find those two are white African-Americans, just as George Zimmerman was a heretofore unknown category of “white Hispanic.”

And then there’s this graph:

And about half of them, 19 of 41, have already received campaign donations this year from the political action committee of Wichita-based Koch Industries Inc., controlled by billionaire energy executives Charles Koch and David Koch, who spent millions trying to defeat Obama in 2012.

Seriously?  Did a Bloomberg editor really sign off on this?

What would happen if Bloomberg ran a headline that went something like these:

San Antonio Spurs Lineup Set to Contest NBA Title Are Mostly Black Men

Democrats Set to Pass Obamacare Are Mostly Liberals
