When Jennings thought Gore won Florida

[/ QUOTE ]

News flash: Gore DID win Florida. Bush's "election" in 2000 was every bit as fraudulent as everything else this gang of crooks and liars has done.

News flash #2: the "liberal media" has propped Bush up every step of the way. The only second guessing of Bush they've ever done is simply to preserve some tiny shred of their institutional credibility so that they can continue to function as a viable propaganda organ for big business and their Big Lies.

In any country with even a semblence of a legitimate press, Bush would be rotting in prison right now, along with a hell of a lot of his accomplices.

Unfortunately, here in America, the soul of journalism has been dead and buried for generations.

Been there, done that. It's certainly scary, but no more scary than any other news outlet.

Its not left vs. right...its right right right right vs right right.

Watch the BBC or read the Guardian for perspective. Those are center and left of center. BBC News is so far to the left of ABCNNBCBS

When you're talking about AMERICAN POLITICS, the scale is centered on the AMERICAN PEOPLE. If we were talking about international politics, you might be correct, but we're not. This is the problems with defining people by "left" vs "right" rather than by their actual ideology.

Fox leans further to the right than the others lean to the left. Their slogan should not be 'fair and balanced' but simply 'the right's point of view'.

The way I see it the media biased towards Republicans and Democrats. They show the American people the minute differences between the two parties and makes us think there is a difference between the two.

Is it? Or do you simply lean more to the left? Or maybe you're just used to the left? I tend to agree with you, but I'm not so sure myself for those very reasons!

News does not reflect the beliefs of the american people. It reflects the beliefs of sponsors and ownership.

Indeed. Certainly their pro-government/pro-corporate bias comes before either liberal or conservative biases.
