I am very relieved to see the liberal media finally being exposed to the nation as a whole. For a long time, this issue has been debated over and over again, and while most Americans do in fact believe that the media is liberal, even before the CBS incident, I don't think there was any consensus by any means. I don't think people truly understood how deeply it permeated, and how detrimental it really is to our nation. The fact that nearly every single person in the US relies on the media, and in particular, network news programs to get their information on the world just shows how important this issue is to every one of us.

I would LOVE to see a widely viewed documentary exposing these sorts of liberal agendas in the media come about in the near future. We all know how popular Michael Moore's films have been, and good for him. If he wants to do that sort of thing I am fine with it. I would just really like to see something of that caliber done showing the other spectrum. I think it would be just as powerful, and maybe even have more exposure, given that there are slightly more conservatives in this country than liberals (at least up until recently that was true).

In order for it to be widely viewed, it would need a distributor and/or network willing to show it. They just won't. Maybe if CBS is prosecuted to the point of someone serves jail time for the forgeries, and the network goes bankrupt. Maybe then the rest would take a big gulp and swallow their liberal pride and decide to change their agenda..... but I doubt it.

I love it how you complain at the media having a liberal bias, but FOX doesn't bother you one bit.

All the money, technology, and resources behind network, cable, and print media conglomerates and yet they were also duped on Iraq WMD. If the media were liberal they would have spoken up earlier. They also wouldn't be airing the anti-Kerry swiftboat and windsurfer commercials so often.

A conservative media would not critically investigate the war in Iraq until questions and inconsistencies had reached critical mass. Hmm... this sounds like what they have done.

I agree with Bernard Goldberg that many of the individuals working in the media have an elitist and urban bias, but the failure of the media to ask hard questions of most people in power is neither liberal nor conservative. Just downright pathetic.

The bulk of our news media is not liberal nor conservative but mercenary, chasing the prize or "booty" of ratings, dollars, celebrity, bragging rights. Truth is generally not the goal.

Michael Moore wouldn't have thought he had to make a Fahrenheit. Bill O'Reilly could never claim that he was the voice of reason if there was a media that made salient objective points and asked tough questions of the newsmakers.

than how can you explain how CBS did such a thorough investigation of the Swiftboat Vets, trying to disprove them somehow, but blindly accepted that the memos libelling Bush were true? Doesn't seem to make sense, does it?

So that explains why Viacomm's CEO (the parent company of CBS) came out and said that he supported bush. That's why the SwiftBoat Liars For Bush had almost 24/7 coverage ACROSS THE BOARD from ALL media outlets for weeks, without so much as a dent being made in the (outright BS lies) claims these lying rats were making?

GIVE IT UP ALREADY...

If it was such a liberal media would they have partaken in the witchhunt against President Clinton? If they were liberal as you (mistakenly) claim wouldn't they have DEFENDED HIM? Wouldn't they instead have attacked the pussilanimous hypocrites like Bob Barr, Henry Hyde, Asa Hutchinson, Newt Gingrich et al that had engaged in, or were engaging in the SAME BEHAVIOUR as the President.... The answer is yes, of course they would have, but they didn't, instead they gleefully joined in the crucifying of the last (twice) legally-elected President in this country because they were LIBERALS.....

That makes even less sense than most republican arguments....

The fact that 100% of viacomm donations were to the dems speaks volumes. So does the well established MTV/CBS/VH1/Showtime liberal slant. The NY and LA Times gave more coverage to the fraudulent memo when taking it as fact then the SBVT. The Today show had several books written by leftist smear merchants (Kitty Kelly anyone) yet not one SB vet. Enough said.

Where there's smoke there's fire, as shown by the Monica scandal. As well as the several rape and sexual molestation accusations by SUPPPORTERS. Except, unlike when a Republican is in charge, the media didn't need to invent memos and stories in order to make it true.

Viacom's CEO only said this AFTER the whole Dan Rather memogate fiasco. Of course he is going to say something like that! Otherwise, Republican voters aren't going to watch CBS if they know that it is biased against the Republican party (which it is).
