I always hear conservatives say that all media is biased. So now we know. And we also know that Fox has given lots of money to Republicans. The lesson: All media is biased. Choose your news sources accordingly. (And quit whining about it.)

If this is true, these people are grossly overpaid.

According to figures I've found on several sites, Obama got in the neighborhood of 650 million from individuals. IF that's accurate, that means that media people donated 572,000,000. That's a big wad of cash, and a figure that I find doubtful coming from such a small portion of economy and so few individuals.

All media may be biased as you claim but it's OVERWHELMINGLY biased in favor of the Democrat party. Do deny this is laughable.

More shocking revelations about our main stream media.
One thing is says is that the people closest to the news and the people in it do not believe in the Conservative Agenda.

Of course they are! They are well informed and many of well educatied and intelligent. Given the choice of the two parties and what they are offering not only on fiscal issues but social issues and the only intelligent choice is to support Democrats.

I never did deny it.

How about this? If you think a news source is biased against your point of view, don't support it. There are more media sources now than ever before in the history of man. To complain about it seems really petty.

Would you feel the same if the media was overwhelmingly Republican?

I would.

See, there's this newfangled "internet" thing.

I don't need to turn on my TV to get the news anymore.

When you say "the media", you seem to be talking about ABC, CBS, and NBC, but in my mind, the media includes a lot more than that. There's so many options for news and opinion out there. If I were you, I would try to focus on the media that I do like rather than the media I don't like. (In fact, I do that now.)

Intelligence and Democrats should never be used in the same post.
