90% of the "independent" media you speak of is biased to the left.

Only 90% ? A little simplistic, don't you think? No one speaks

objective voice, and the media in this country doesn't speak with
one
voice. Is Rush biased left? What about NewsMax? Fox News?

Labeling media is a way of trivializing it. Propaganda spinners have
used
the trick for years. It doesn't flush. Media has always spoken with
many
voices. If you are truly looking for bias, you might consider
left/right
isn't the only bias.

True true, but until you acknowledge the bias and see it as bias you
are not getting a real view of the world. Those of us on the right
acknowledge the bias of Fox News, but those on the left don't think
that the other news medias lean to the left. That's a serious
problem!!


A more serious problem is that many people who think "the media" is
left-biased never actually read or listen to those media, and are
simply repeating what they've been told to. For instance, rumor has it
that NPR rarely, if ever mentions anything positive about Iraq. That's
odd, because I hear them mention something positive at least a couple
of times a week. Are the droolers listening to a totally different NPR
Morning Edition than I am? Of course not. They simply don't listen.

How many times a week does NPR say negative things about Iraq? I'd be
willing to bet it is a larger number more than "a couple of times a
week."

Why don't you listen and find out. You might learn something.

I don't have time to waste listening to the DNC's only radio outlet.



Fine. Then shut your cake hole. You've just admitted to repeating what
someone else told you to say about certain media. If you don't listen, you
cannot possibly know what they broadcast.
