Does Chris Christie deserve an apology from the media? Maybe. But we definitely do.

If there’s one thing that the media hates more than criticism, Save Jerseyans, it’s when one of the targets of its bias demands an apology for it.
We showed you the video on Thursday. “I do believe there’s an absolute bias and a rush to judgment. You all know this, you saw the coverage of me 15 months ago. I was guilty, I had done it,” Governor Chris Christie opined on CNBC’s Squawk Boxprogram, referring of course to the Bridgegate scandal. “Now we’re 15 months later, where are the apologies pouring in? Not one thing I said the day after the bridge situation has been proven wrong.”
And now they’re furious! One of my favorite left-of-center writers, New Jersey’s own Olivia Nuzzi of the Daily Beast, penned an amusingly sarcastic piece apologizing to Christie for the media having done its job. Yup, the Christie/MSM relationship has officially come full circle.
Does he deserve an apology? “Sort of” is probably the most honest answer...
