*Moonery:  (a goatard from Gabby at The Goat Gazette) is defined as conduct indicative of barking (or yodeling, whining, yapping, etc.) moonbats.

PowerlineBlog points out the bias and flagrant misrepresentation in the ABC and New York Times' editorial portrayal of Justice Scalia's absence from Chief Justice Roberts' confirmation on September 29.

No, Scalia was neither vacationing nor on a "junket" in Colorado. 

He was there lecturing approximately 10 hours a day at a conference, scheduled in October 2004.  In preparation for the conference he had compiled a 400-plus page study guide.

And it's not that these MSM sources were not provided a full accounting of Scalia's schedule.  Both were given complete details of conference planning and schedule. 

It simply suited the MSM "story lines" to represent that Scalia had intentionally skipped Roberts' confirmation.

As Powerline concludes, the public should not have to wonder why MSM chose to reference Justice Scalia's lecture as a "junket" while not mentioning similar "junkets" by two more liberally-leaning members of the Court.

Moonery.  Moonery pure and simple.
