Well he was a democrat. Obviously. Most democrats are liberals and the media is called the liberal media, not the democrat media. Semantics, you're ignoring the point as usual.

Stupid answer. David Duke and Zell Miller were both democrats, hardly call them liberal.

For purposes of this question, Fox News is NOT the mainstream media any more because they have shifted too far to the right. The mainstream media consists of CNN, CBS, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the like. Do you believe those outlets are trustworthy?
I disagree, Fox news is definitely mainstream, Lou Dobbs and Stossel step out of the box a little bit. Even on the net, there are few sites that aren't carrying the same Associated Press release, sometimes just changing a few sentences around. To get to real investigative news, you have to go to alternative sites, such as rt. infowars, globalresearch.ca, educate-yourself, corbettreport, dprogram.net, pakalertpress, and more good sites popping up everyday.
But that's only if you want the rest of the story, or what's been going on behind the scenes, while your attention was distracted by some nonsense, like this so-called recovery. There is no recovery folks.

Seems like you guys have no idea what liberal is. You seem to change the meaning to suit your needs.
Edwards ran for VP of the Dem ticket. Lib enough for you? Libs only take money from the rich they deem have too much. You notice they protect their rich libs.

No, I know many Democrats who are not liberal, just as there are Republicans who are not conservative

You fail, again.

You could have fooled me with all the fawning they do over Obama and anything he does. I would like to see a moderate Dem anymore.
