theres “call outs”

As to the political debate/being serious issue, be happy that there seems to be one last refuge where conservatives and the rest of the population still talk to each other (or at least talk at each other). We live in our homogenous neighborhoods, have our segregates pastimes and TV shows and without anybody dissenting it is hard to have an informed opinion.

Thus Proclaimeth Captain Obvious!!!!

Quote:

While the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal is conservative, the newspaper’s news pages are liberal, even more liberal than The New York Times. The Drudge Report may have a right-wing reputation, but it leans left. Coverage by public television and radio is conservative compared to the rest of the mainstream media. Meanwhile, almost all major media outlets tilt to the left.

These are just a few of the surprising findings from a UCLA-led study, which is believed to be the first successful attempt at objectively quantifying bias in a range of media outlets and ranking them accordingly.

“I suspected that many media outlets would tilt to the left because surveys have shown that reporters tend to vote more Democrat than Republican,” said Tim Groseclose, a UCLA political scientist and the study’s lead author. “But I was surprised at just how pronounced the distinctions are.”

Ah, good times.

And for those of you bashing Obama because one of his people pointed this out, take a look at McCain’s toady saying a terrorist attack against the U.S. would be good for McCain.

Off-shore oil drilling, waterboarding, you name it, he’s flip-flopped on it.
Ring wing hypocrites.

You link does nothing to refute that point.

BTW, it’s amusing that your source of opinion is CJR, hardly a neutral sources,

You can spin this as much as you like, but it’s another promise thrown under the bus for the sake of political expediency.

Obama’s word can’t be trusted on anything, yet the media give him a free pass on all his flip-flops.

Well, other than him realizing that he can raise Lots of Money.

Please name these mythical 527s that have sprung into existence in the last couple of months.

Really. Name them.

I note again, I give examples and you give rhetoric. I head what Clark said with my own ears; you spimply accepted CJR’s **evaluation** of those words as your own. Big difference!

But it isn’t the owners who make the “news”. It’s the journalists and editors, who set the agenda and are overwhelmingly liberal.

For examples of media bias, see newsbusters dot org.

Insanity! When I was a kid, the only celebrity to ever be on the news was when Princess Diana died.

Wesley Clark “had questioned the relevance of McCain’s combat experience as a qualification to be president of the United States. This is a distinction that you’d expect any reasonably intelligent nine-year old to be able to grasp.” (Columbia Journalism Review)

Heck, I’ll give you a counter-example : the media has grown increasingly silent on Iraq as the surge has increasingly paid off. Notice how you only saw news about the “political benchmarks” BEFORE they stared being met?
