NPR is closer to neutral while Fox is pure propaganda that continues to hold to the Republican/neo-conservative Party Line.
A ridiculous claim.

NRP leans far to the left.

Of course the Media is Biased. They have an agenda no matter which way they lean.

NPR leans left about half as much as FOX leans right.

The CIA has an impossible mandate trying to collect unbiased information while lying in the name of the American people. It is too easy to get confused. The CIA needs a new name and mission. It should be renamed the Committee for State Security. This new name sounds better in the original Russian. Then its personnel will no longer be in doubt as to the mission and can face the future with confidence and pride.

The ACLU would prefer that all secrets are made public, worldwide.

Quit being so dumb.


Doesn't anyone still have pride in America? Obama crosses the world apologizing for our greatness.

He is an embarassment.

lol our greatness? If you still think theres anything great about America you've been living under a rock. This is the age of humility, as we've learned that we are not invincible like we once thought. Well I guess there's some that think Bush was a great president that may disagree, but a marginal percentage if at all.

This is so true. The first rule of journalism is to present the newspaper or journalist's point of view. This is something you learn in English 101. The media is quite aware of the short attention span of the U.S citizen, who probably won't finish the article. Good for debate on City Data though for those posters who read the complete linked article. LOL

I never mentioned Bush.

Do you have penis envy?


Your President is a weirdo spending all of our money on crap.



I'm already waiting for you to tell the American people why idiots in Washington are good for us.

I never said you did mention Bush... Read the post and try to understand it at the same time.

How did you know I have a small wang?

My president? as if you have a different one... Anyways our president is spending money to help the American people find jobs. Bush spent money on an impossible to win war and to kill innocent people. Its time for all of the people who voted Republican to be quiet and realize you were wrong.
