Imagine if conservatives stopped complaining about a media bias.

Those things just break down "Democrat" and "Republican"; they don't address "liberalism" or "conservatism." For example, does the media softballing a total corporatist like Dianne Feinstein in its reporting constitute "liberalism"? Not in the traditional sense.

I find the media to be boring, fearful, and silly. Labels not needed. No right or left wing, open minded, or conservative. The media needs to stop lying to the sheeple.

Yes, the media has a liberal bias, but much of what is perceived as such by conservatives is really fairly normal for the modern world. It's kind of like when they say that universities have a "liberal bias"... that's called "being educated," aka an "intelligence bias."

Considering that independent polls consistently show, year after year, that conservative Americans outnumber liberal Americans TWO to ONE, it is no coincidence that our ultra-left media wants us all to think that liberals are the majority.

What's even more ridiculous is that Washington and all bloated levels of government are run by lunatic-liberals of both political parties, and and they are supposed to be representing America!

Only in our Bizarro-World are elected representatives diametrically opposed to the philosophy and values of the people they are supposed to represent

The problem is that there are no real reporters anymore except for maybe a few who really get into the ditches. These people reporting on the networks are not reporters. They just voice their opinions, weather it's Fox being conservative or Msnbc being liberal. This is the media these days and in my opinion it really sucks. We should have a new era with reporters such as the Murrow boys. They were true reporters and highly respected. I have no respect for anyone in the media these days except for Jim Vance who does our local news.
