12/20/2005 | The problem with this selection is there isn't any. Will Krystal pretty much admitted that the whole LME theme was conjured up by right wing think tanks to "play the ref."

11/20/2004 | Just take a drive across America and try to find a radio talk station between noon to 5pm EST that is NOT playing Rush, Sean or Christian fundimentalism.

10/26/2004 |  How is this the case? Journalists as a lot are fairly liberal, but you can't say that George W. Bush has not been treated fairly. In fact, I think the media has treated him far better than they ever treated Clinton, Bush's father, Reagan or Nixon. They were gung-ho about the War in Iraq, even berateing those who even expressed reservations from the onset of the war. The fourth estate really failed us this time around. A good journalist avoids the public storm around them and reports the facts. As opposed, you have a go-along-to-get-along attitude with most reporters today. The media isn't biased as an entity, rather they like to feed peoples perceptions and biases of events around them. To them the goal is high ratings--making stories out of the inconsequential is the best way of doing so without rocking the boat too much. The downfall of journalism has been the cable-news networks which operate on the basis of getting out the story first rather than report the facts or offer the TV watcher a coherent pattern of events. Too much flash, too little substance. Print media is guilty, but to a lesser extent because they publish only once a day. Such a system allows for the rise of demagogues who can manipulate the media to their own interests. And that's what dangerous.

09/27/2004 | 9/3/04: This is Kerry's only chance. If you don't see liberal bias, it is because you are a liberal partisan enjoying the spin. It is universally accepted by most politicians, and the media itself, that this bias exists and intensifies in election years. Kerry is enjoying it enormously this year and it is the only reason the polls indicate a close election. Kerry's qualifications are so thin that he could only point to 4 months in Vietnam as the reason to fire GWB, in a convention that lasted 4 DAYS! How could anyone, with or without help from the press, run such a poor, unfocused, obfuscating campaign? 9/27/04 UPDATE: And who could possibly maintain that there is no liberal bias given Dan Rather's tortured relationship with the truth on Bush's National Guard scandal? biblio, put away your magnifying glass, even you could detect THIS bias.

09/03/2004 | Although I am one of few liberal-minded people who admit that many mainstream outlets may have slight accidental liberal slants (CNN being most well-recognized, along with NBC and ABC; I still don't think CBS is liberal), I don't think it will affect anything.
First off, any biases (except probably Fox's) are so subtle it's only barely recognizable even to the well-trained viewer. If you're watching just the main news segment (not O'Reilly, Cavuto's World, or someone else offering his opinion), you can barely tell differences between stations. One day watch CNN for a while and switch over to Fox. The news stories are almost identical.
Secondly, as a recent CNN survey actually proves, viewers stick to their camps. They watch the stations that most reflect their viewpoints. Liberals tend to watch CNN, and conservatives overwhelmingly watch Fox.

09/02/2004 | I keep waiting to see this liberal bias. I must be watching the wrong shows, because I just don't see it. If anything, the media are just dead on their feet. They regurgitate without providing analysis one way or the other.

06/28/2004 |  First of all JohnMcCain - if the media is allegedly so conservative, then why is it that Clinton not only hung in there during his many scandals and lies but still manages to be considered a political god by many to this very day? Liberal media? Well, I guess it seems so to most people when much of the time the entire world seems a little unhinged, emotionally out of control and weird. But it really depends on which network you're watching. Personally I think the terms liberal media and vast right wing conspiracy are battle cries for the politically paranoid. At the very least, they're meant to divert the attention away from one person's political sins and cause the public to focus on the problems on the other side of the fence. If there's something dirty in any public figure's closet in this spastic, knee-jerk era of information overload you can be sure the media hounds are going to find it and exploit it to their best advantage - regardless of who, what, where, when or why. It boils down to money. It always does.

06/27/2004 | THERE IS NO SUCH THING! This is a conservative media that has given Bush a free ride since day-one. If they were as tough on Bush as they were on Clinton, Bush would be finished.

06/24/2004 | Yes, dear ClassicTVFan, Fox News is fair and balanced--to the Republican party. With Fox News cheerleading for Bush , your man has little to worry about.

06/24/2004 | Bah. I don't watch those stations anyway. That's what Fox News is for--fair and balanced news!

06/20/2004 |  The so-called liberal bias in mainstream media is of no substantial effect, IMO. I'd say that mainstream media has more of a bias to the negative than to the liberal. Feel good stories don't make good news, so its the negative story in general that will get media attention. Hence the scarcity of reports on how power and water supplies are much better in Iraq now than they were pre-war. There's only so many times they can report on that, yet there are new war dead nearly every day. Aside from this lean to the negative, there is little bias in the mainstream reporting outside of what is imagined (and Fox News, IMO). Look at the reports on Reagan's funeral, for example. The liberals complained that it was nothing but worship from all sides, and conservatives complained it was nothing but Reagan-bashing. The fact is that if you don't hear what you want to hear, you'll tend to think that the media is biased against you. Conservatives have been much more vocal about this, and hence the liberal media myth.

06/20/2004 | This is only damaging for people who do not understand the real truth. For those that are not sure, tune in to either of the following. Rush Limbaugh,Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Reagan,The Drudge Report or Fox News anytime!

06/18/2004 | The media kisses Dubya's ass when they should be killing him. Liberal Media? This is the same liberal media that couldn't shut up about Clinton's blow job?

06/18/2004 | This is a ridiculous myth. Every major news station, nearly every major radio talk show, and most of the major national newspapers have a decidely conservative slant. There is no 'liberal media', republicans just need to lie because their truth is abhorrent to most people.
