The liberal bias has never been proven. It is a myth.

Yeah, right. Here's an example of that myth in action. It is from:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,164551,00.html


Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:

...

Bolton Has ‘Built-In Handicaps’?

Speaking of Bolton's recess appointment, the AP calls it an "in-your-face" and "confrontational" move. And, in what's billed as a news analysis piece, the AP says Bolton has "built-in handicaps," insisting, "He lacks the stature that comes with Senate approval. And he starts out as a lame duck." The article relies heavily on quotes from Robert Boorstin, who was a National Security Council aide in the Clinton White House. It also quotes Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid.

Virginia Republican Senator George Allen is quoted only in passing, as an example of Republicans who "weren't happy" with the president's decision. But, in fact, Allen was not unhappy with President Bush, he was unhappy with the Senate — which, he said, left the president no choice.

Isn't it more reasonable to say that one source in particular has a bias versus all sources everywhere are biased in the same way?

For some reason you were put into validating. No idea why, but I put you back into the correct group and that solved the problem.

Thanks again. I tried to change the e-mail address in my profile. Maybe that had something to do with it.

That could be the reason. The system may have been validating the new email address to make sure it is a legitimate address.

No - you can ether prove one or you can't. By the standers you bring up to say that Bill aeration that the some media is left bias to be untrue (or improvable), I would like to see someone prove Fox is right biased.

Did you see the movie "Out Foxed"? It makes a pretty convincing case.

Yes and all the people who think ABC and CNN and CBS are left biased make a good case to. It would seem it comes down to your own bias in the matter. If you want to see Fox news a biased to the right you will. If you want to see it fair and balanced you will. If you want to see CNN and kin as left biased you will. If you want to see it as fair and balanced you will.

I haven't seen anything convincing to that effect.
