ABC NEWS EXEC: 'BUSH MAKES ME SICK'; E-MAIL REVEALED
... suprised me a little. Yeah, I know that everyone believes in a liberal media bias. It may be very true, but is it such a suprise that even journalists have political biases? Everyone does! Are journalists not allowed to discuss them, even in private?
There is a big difference in covering the news in a biased way, and having personal political preferences. Though it may be hard in reality to find a balance, we cannot expect people to shed their political ideas simply because they report on politics.

I find it interesting that journalist are slanted so heavily in one political direction. I mean it almost conjers up feelings that these guys have been through psychological programming or something. I dont think its just journalist either, its a whole big swath of people coming out of current academia. hmmmmmm and i thought i was against conspiracy theories.
Maybe not so much of a conspiracy as some sort of movement in society. But, yeah, I know what you mean. As someone who got their degree in Media Studies, I can say that a lot of my classmates were fairly liberal, but they all seemed dedicated to fair reporting.
Regardless, I don't care if reporters are liberal or conservative, as long as they are honest.
