There is no such thing as the left-wing media on TV.

You have the channels that report the news, and then you have the anti-immigration channel(the fox noise machine).

PHM so you are actually stating that FOX NEWS is bias and all the other stations are centrist? And you can say that with a straight face?

If you are facing the screen, and see a broadcaster, it always looks as if his/her right shoulder is left, and left shoulder is right.

It is so easy to confuse left and right even when you are steering your car, so it makes sense that folks confuse left wing and right wing on the telly.

I'm serious, spunky.

I see no bias in any other channel but FOX. They hardly report real news. All I see your admirer, Oreilly & Co. do is rail against the secular progressives(I think they forget this is suppose to be a secular government), the war on Christmas, Illegals (Oreilly's first report on a drunk driving case coincidently involved an Ilegal and then he turns it solely into an illegal issue) and the infamous San Francisco values.

Considering the reason why FOX became popular due to it's constant bashing they gave the Clinton administration, they don't report on hardly any of the current administration controversies, and when they do it's with a twist, making it seem it's Democratic theater.

Where's the bias on the other networks?

You give a moniker for FOX well how about CNN THE Clinton News Network
I can't even believe you ask where the bias is? I guess you didn't happen to catch MSNBC last night around 8pm? I only caught it mid segment but a pundit with "special commentary" under his name was railing against Bush for at least 10 minutes, actually calling him names. . .

Where is the bias? Pretty much everywhere. . the only difference is that until FOX came on the scene it was all left-wing bias so most people thought that was centrist. . .
But we obviously are not going to agree on this. . . btw I liked your old "handle" under your name better!

I actually did catch 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann'. I always switch between that one and 'The Factor with Bill O'reilly'.

If you caught the whole speech he first started bashing the dems for not complying with the majorities wishes to end the war. And I completely agree with him on the reasons he was railing against Bush. When he rails against Bush it's for reasons most Americans agree with, even Republicans are turning against him now, I don't think it's bias.

What did you not agree with what he said?

Regarding my old handle. Did you read the text I had there?

I did not catch the beginning of the speech, and then I got interupted and didn't catch the end, but I heard enough. It just goes to my point that it is another outlet for the left to spout their rhetoric. Was time given to the other side of the story for a rebutal? Of course not. It was even misleading by the "special commentary" runner below his name.

And what do you mean? what text: it said something like "magnificant machine" ??
