As Japan Reels From Devastating Earthquake, Journalists Yawn at Obama's Golfing, NCAA Picks

(By Scott Whitlock, NewsBusters.org) - On Wednesday, Barack Obama will appear on ESPN to announce his picks for the 2011 NCAA tournament. This past Saturday, as the disaster in Japan unfolded, the President found time to play golf. On Tuesday's Special Report, host Bret Baier highlighted the difference between Obama's treatment and that of President Bush.

Baier quoted from Media Research President Brent Bozell: "If George Bush reacted this way during an international catastrophe -- wholly irrelevant radio addresses, golf outing for the 61st time, the left wing media would require medically induced sedation to keep them in check."
