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

Simplistic? No. Realistic? Yes.

Rush is not a journalist and he doesn't claim to be one either.

NewsMax is biased towards the right and Fox News is towards the right side
of the middle of the road. If Fox News was just another left leaning cable
network then nobody would ever watch them. Fox News leans to the right to be
different and to get noticed.

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.

The media has trivialized itself in that they are, for the most part, trying
to be a part of the Democratic Party.
