Is it really liberal bias or is it simply an innate human desire to progress toward unity? You won't find too many in the media "in the tank" for unions or welfare lifers. But there is right and there is wrong, and moving beyond racism, sexism, income disparity for equal work, bigotry against people loving the one their heart tells them to love no matter the gender.... these desires are implanted in a human mind that is not rooted in fear and division.

When conservatives run political campaigns rooted in fear and division - preying upon peoples' fear of "them", whether they are "urban" or "Muslim" or "homosexual" "not real Americans", something triggers in the open human mind that simply says, "That is not right."

If that's media bias, so be it. I think it's just an instinct for a better world.
I highly doubt a conservative like Colin Powell would be biased against. I've never seen it - even before he supported Obama.

No, it certainly isn't going to happen.

What I find even more interesting is that the United States government has been caught on several occasions and has even openly admitted in its own documentation that it has active programs to censor and propagandize foreign information that is given to the American public. Yet no one really cares, much like they didn't care in 1936 either.

The links and the reasoning between shared interest of multinational corporations which own our major media and the United States government is rather obvious and plain as the nose on ones face. Even still it is almost as if people are in denial that it is possible that they can be so easily manipulated.

Liberal media is a mythology regurgitated as fact by those who still think it is 1969.

I would argue that Fox doesn't promote a Conservative agenda either. Sure Fox may have some Conservatives but Fox, just like MSNBC makes its bread and butter bashing its opposition more than promoting the tenets of a political philosophy or lean.

I have yet to see Fox do a series on the benefits of smaller government and pro-liberty (keeping government of the bedroom) or any programming discussing the dangers of fiscal irresponsibility, such as runaway spending and waste at DOD, or how nation building is a liberal expansionist policy and not a tenet of conservatism.

If one were to draw a picture and and lay a mirror perpendicular, you would have Fox and MSNBC as they are a mirror of one another.
