When the swift vets ads appeared, the media tore it apart....that’s a good thing. I want to hear both sides of the issues. When the GWB papers broke, CBS did not tear it apart. The source of the documents was a known anti GWB person and once doubt was raised, CBS stood by the story, blindly without any grounds.
I don’t believe in a liberal conspiracy, but the media has a strong liberal bias. That’s not from the conservatives, but is a generally accepted fact by most of the moderate observers. Can you honesty say the Boston Globe is NOT a liberal media outlet? CNN? Cargill and Begala are on the staff and managed Clinton's entire career as well as advised %$%$%$%$%$, they're not biased?
I want the media to tear apart the GWB admin, but it has to work both ways. Look how they treat Bill Clinton, the interviews are like he is some kind of poor mis-guided soul. They feel bad for him. An ex-American president can not even be a trial lawyer for a parking ticket because he broke the law, as a lawyer and a president. The guy is a criminal and a scumbag.
I expect the media to be rough on everyone, they are not. All I ask is to see both sides, I believe (not because of Fox, Limbaugh, or any others) that the media is very biased towards the liberal viewpoint. Want another example? After this election, the evening news reported that "Moral issues" were a major factor, roughly 20% of voters said in the exit polls. The media blew this all out and led the public to believe that Evang. Christians won the vote for %$%$%$%$. Well, in reality..... in 2000, the % of voters who cited moral issues was over 40% and in 96 it was around 30%. Soooo, this election year the moral vote was way less than previous years. No bias? Why didnt they report this? The media was looking to once again divide and blame by only telling 1/2 the story.
