The media may have at one time been liberally biased but today, Liberal media is a myth perpetuated by foolish people. Modern media could care less about whether it has a right or a left lean to what it produces, its main and ultimate goal is to make money. Media is not liberally biased, it is profit biased because if it were liberally biased, they wouldn't have been on every single stinking channel promoting the war as though it were a circus coming to town.

Geez, Fox isn't even a conservative outlet it is the same brand of sensationalism that merely uses Liberals as its target instead of the other way around.

Yeah right. People who are "foolish" enough to know how the all the reporters vote.

Doesn't take a genius to put two and two together.

You're absolutely correct on both counts.

Obama was news while he was running. Does the press expect him to provide them with news for four more years?

Come on...

I think he also said they could ask those questions at the press conference.

I don't argue that many in media circles are liberals or left leaning but "members" of the media are not the ones who say a story airs or not.

Take for instance MSNBC, the biggest target of those who say the media is liberal. They are owned by GE, one of the larger US weapons manufactures. Does anyone honest think that a company that makes billions of dollars making weapons is going to get on the nightly news and report stories that would hinder another sector of the same company? This would be like Home Depot running a commercial saying its pressure treated lumber emits harmful gasses and should not be used... yeah right.

MSNBC: Republicans idiots say we have to stay in Iraq for 100 years, coming up next, why we need to invade Iran.

Fox: Democrat idiots Pelosi and Reid are hate America, coming up next, why we need to invade Iran.

CNN: Illegal immigrants are the spawn of Satan, coming up next, why we need to invade Iran.

No one ever questions why these three supposed different leaning entertainment outlets produce an almost monolithic view, even if they promote the same view while demonizing the other political faction. Its a riot.

Tranparency in a swamp? How can that have ever been possible while the reptilian Bush administration was in power?

Exactly! The media has made Washington the new Hollywood. They switch back and forth to wherever they can milk a story long enough.
