This offers more proof of the liberal media bias we have been enduring over the years

Putting Money Where Mouths Are: Media Donations Favor Dems 100-1

The New York Times' refusal to publish John McCain's rebuttal to Barack Obama's Iraq op-ed may be the most glaring example of liberal media bias this journalist has ever seen. But true proof of widespread media bias requires one to follow an old journalism maxim: Follow the money.

Even the Associated Press — no bastion of conservatism — has considered, at least superficially, the media's favoritism for Barack Obama. It's time to revisit media bias.

True to form, journalists are defending their bias by saying that one candidate, Obama, is more newsworthy than the other. In other words, there is no media bias. It is we, the hoi polloi, who reveal our bias by questioning the neutrality of these learned professionals in their ivory-towered newsrooms.

Nothing will stop the employees of MSM, for the simple reason they truly believe they have the answers to what ails the country. Much like MFM, they are convinced they are correct, will not listen/contemplate that there may be other answers.

If they are wrong, which many believe, it will come to pass. However my concern is that the lack of media rationality leaves a huge hole, which worse media may be able to exploit. I've not seen it yet, doesn't mean the vacuum isn't there.

Correct, there is a difference between news and opinion.

I listen and contemplate other answers all the time. Are you suggesting that you do not have the strength of your own convictions?

No. You haven't changed your mind since Farrah Fawcett was considered hot.

I am pleased as punch that the members of the media are smart enough to support the democratic party.

If a doctor supports the democratic party, do you think he would operate on you differently?

why do you think that a news reporter - or a sportscaster or a weatherman - would do their jobs any differently? Do you really think that the story of the high speed chase or the fire at the library will be reported any differently by democratic reporters than by republican ones?

that's not true. I changed my mind on capital punishment...I changed my mind on abortion... I have changed my mind on many issues...but I wouldn't expect you to acknowledge them or even notice them... you're just in your hall monitor mode 24/7.

The only thing you might contemplate is you own turds.....

You defend the indefeasible....you defend Durban calling Gitmo guards nazies...
you defend Kerry calling our troops uneducated and stupid.....
and the list goes on....

your mind is so closed , I can't imagine you watching any other TV shows than Keith Obermann.....

Not when the reporters shape the news to fit their politcal agenda and personal beliefs.

It used to be reporters covered who, what, when, where, and why
