It hasn't really harmed the right much, has it? It's given them a rallying cry (or whine, perhaps). And inexplicably, despite the horrors of the left-wing media, the right managed to win the last two presidential elections with a troglodyte at the helm. Quityerbitchin. Not to mention the media has now given themselves the job of Kingmaker.

Quityerbitchin. guppie must be a 12 percenter.... Associated Press, MSNBC and CNBC Seen as Having Liberal Bias Sunday, July 22, 2007 Email to a Friend In the final poll of a series measuring perceptions of media bias, the Associated Press, local television stations, MSNBC, and CNBC are all perceived as tilting to the left when reporting the news. Earlier releases showed that Americans tend to believe the major broadcast networks, CNN, and NPR have a liberal bias. Fox News is seen as having a bias in the other direction. In print, the New York Times, Washington Post, and local newspapers were also seen as having a liberal bias. The current survey finds that 30% of American adults believe the Associated Press has a liberal bias and only 12% believe it leans the other way. Local television news is viewed as having a liberal bias by 30% and a conservative bias by 17%. MSNBC is seen as being a bit more to the left-33% say it has a liberal bias and 13% say the opposite. For CNBC, 29% say it has a liberal bias and 14% say a conservative bias.

You know he--oh, he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all of those other presidents on those dollar bills. I thought Obama was supposed to transcend race?

Compare this sex scandal to Fox's coverage of many other sex scandals in this past. Isn't this something should be humping to death? The Edwards story is for now the jurisdiction of the blogosphere, not the traditional media. Fox has some vestige of tradition left within it to understand that. I know you have to play the victim card every single time you don't like something in the news, but occasionally there are actually other factors at play other than that damn lib'ral media. The media doesn't act like one collected unit who meet every week and decide to do everything the same way -- namely, to piss you off. Edited to add -- DeBrun pours himself another glass of whine

To admit that bias is one of a spectrum of situations that effect a story is taking away one of the traditional conservative easy-outs. Last Edited By: Gregoire 07/31/08 10:04 AM. Edited 1 times.

ORLY? By a 39% to 20% margin, American adults believe that the three major broadcast networks deliver news with a bias in favor of liberals. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 25% believe that ABC, CBS, and NBC deliver the news without any bias.

You do realize that the only reason Fox News exists is that with CNN and other outlets operating with a liberal bias they created the market for a conservative counter point, right?

He left the realm of journalism a long time ago for what can only be justified as "entertainment" for liberal youngsters along the lines of Colbert and Jon Stewart.
