Facts just get in the way of a good story.

Liberalism is associated with Obama worship and rightfully so. The left wing liberal media is not helping either. Just recently Chris Mathews said that Obama is the perfect man, calls anyone who does not salivate over Obama a racist. I saw him obnoxiously call a kid probably in his 20s a racist because he said he was not voting for Obama.

You can not have a media that attacks the other party constantly and who never reports negative things against the president and not be expected to be called Obama worshipers.

It is what it is. Change the channel and you might get different points of view.

Whats good to know is according to Pew research, ratings on tv /trash news are tanking.CNN in particular.

Except for link tv, after 08 we stopped watching all news media outlets.

msm in the US is pure corporate propaganda. Controlled disinfo and distraction. A trend more and more educated people are noticing, and tuning out.

You are apparently correct. I canceled my TV subscription in August 2006. I only use my TV to watch DVDs.
