Appearing on the Friday edition of the Fox News Channel’s Your World, Media Research Center president Brent Bozell and host Neil Cavuto hammered the liberal media for their refusal to cover Democratic Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s latest lowering of American discourse as he used the Senate floor to declare Donald Trump to be “a human leech who will bleed the country.”

Cavuto set the segment up by comparing the media reception to Reid’s behavior (almost none) to cacophony of outrage for the infamous “you lie” comment uttered by Republican Congressman Joe Wilson (S.C.) in the House chamber during a 2009 speech by President Obama.

Bozell opined immediately that it’s not right and made sure to mention that Cavuto’s soundbite didn’t include how Reid went onto call Trump “a spoiled brat” who swindles people.

When Cavuto wondered what the media would do if someone called the President a swindler or liar, Bozell invoked Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution about behavior inside the chambers of Congress:

[T]his is the same Harry Reid who in 2012 who said — accused Mitt Romney of not paying taxes for ten years, and here's another funny. I didn't know this but you know that there's a law that says that you can't be sued for defamation if you're speaking inside the well of the Senate? If you're going across the street and given that speech might have gotten sued for defamation. Just an interesting tidbit.

As for the amount of airtime that Reid’s comment fetched, Bozell revealed that it garnered only 10 second (on Thursday’s NBC Nightly News). Here’s the full extent of the coverage that came during a report by correspondent Andrea Mitchell:

MITCHELL: Earlier today, Clinton making a pitch to African American voters going after Donald Trump on the Tom Joyner radio show....And getting back up today with a sharp attack from the top Senate Democrat. HARRY REID: Trump is a human leach who will bleed the country and sit at his golf resort laughing at the money he's made.

“Incredible. And I’m just saying. I would have asked on the left or the right — look, if you're going to make a big deal of Joe Wilson. They got Joe Wilson to apologize and this guy is saying something far, far worse about a presidential candidate, wow,” an astonished Cavuto declared.

The MRC founder went onto expose how “the arrogance of the left” is fed by the fact that they know they won’t face a tongue-lashing because “[t]hey know that NBC, CBS, ABC, have got a dual set standards here.”

“What do you think? Granted — excuse me, can we Neil, just imagine, just imagine for one minute, Mitchell McConnell calling Hillary Clinton a human leech,” Bozell zinged.

The final moments of the segment revolved around the softball questioning Hillary Clinton received on her press plane on Thursday afternoon and Bozell commented that the media’s behavior was “pathetic” asking about her viewing habits of The Good Wife and Madame Secretary.

Wrapping things up, Bozell left some viewers scrambling for their phones or computers to google Torquemada when he commented about the vicious reaction by the liberal media when one of their own in Matt Lauer aggressively questioned Clinton last week: “And, Neil, when Matt Lauer asks one tough question of Hillary Clinton, it's like Torquemada came out of the woodwork.”
