Often you here from the right that the media is slanted to the left. Yet they cannot prove this assertion. I will show you that the mainstream American media does not slant or is biased towards the left.

One argument I have heard is that an overwhelming amount of journalists and newscasters are Liberal. I am not going to argue that point. The point is that the news we read in our newspaper and see on TV is finalized by editors who have to answer to CEOs who have to answer to their corporate advertisers. Also keep in mind that the News agencies have a strong relationship with their corporate shareholders and owners.

Also if the media were indeed Liberal how come none of these stories made it to mainstream America

FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds claiming US government officials allowed Pakistan and other states to steal nuclear weapons secrets

No Hard Evidence Connecting Bin Laden to 9/11

I would take it one step further and say there is no real media anymore. None of them do investigative journalism anymore - and no, "To Catch A Predator" doesn't count. Many of them do not want to offend their political and corporate connections.

And what a lame job they do on covering our Presidential candidates.

Not at all true. Just look how our Democrat-friendly media has catapaulted Barak Obama to the top of the consciousness of every American voter. Obama leads in every poll taken.

Some argue that Obama never authored a single piece of legislation and has the most liberal voting record of all Senators. Yet, with the help of our friends in the media and the positive image they helped to create, he enjoys massive support even among many self-described "conservatives" and "independents." His entire campaign has been based on emotionalism and sensationalism rather than boring policy details, and has been constantly projected as being "fresh" and "bringing change" by our supporters in the media.

We'd better give credit where credit is due to our friends................... if we expect them to remain friendly.

you can take that to the bank

Becuase more than likely they are fringe stories and conspiracy theories by radicals published on wacky websites? Look at the story about Osama. Osama and al qaueda took credit for 9/11.

There is ample proof of a liberal media, it's just that liberals won't admit to it.

Look at the CBS story below. How could legendary news organization CBS, legendary investigative news program 60 Minutes, and legendary news anchor Dan Rather put such smear on the air 2 months before the 2004 election? These people are professionals, not high school newspaper volunteers. It was done purposefully and intentionally to effect the outcome of the election:

NEW YORK (CNN) -- CBS News has ousted four employees over its "60 Minutes Wednesday" report about President Bush's National Guard service, the network said Monday.

The network fired Mary Mapes, producer of the report. Senior Vice President Betsy West was asked to resign, along with Josh Howard, executive producer of "60 Minutes Wednesday," and his top deputy, Mary Murphy.

In a statement released later in the day, Mapes insisted that the story was neither false nor misleading and accused CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves of "vitriolic scapegoating."

Dan Rather, anchor of the "CBS Evening News," who was the story's correspondent, announced in November he would be stepping down from his anchor position in March. Rather did not mention the controversy when he made his announcement. (Full story)

Rather was absent Monday from "CBS Evening News." The broadcast led with a report on the panel's findings.

According to a CBS statement, an independent panel appointed by the network concluded that CBS News failed to follow basic journalistic principles in putting together the piece, which aired September 8.

The panel's report said a "myopic zeal" led the program to air a story critical of Bush's service record that was based on documents that might have been forged.

The report also faulted CBS staffers involved for a "rigid and blind defense" of the story after it aired, despite growing questions about the documents.

The coverage of any politician in the media is a direct correlation of how much money they raise in their campaign.As for the media not focusing on policy details that can be said about any Presidential candidate in the last 30 years.

I disagree. It's obvious the media is pulling for Obama. It was Sean Hannity who broke the Rev. Wright story and the media dragged it's legs for weeks before making it an issue.

Why do people use the term liberal to put down the media? Liberal basically means freedom. I WANT a liberal media. What's the alternative, State control?
