I don't frequent this site, i only found it through a Google search, but found the contents interesting.
Wanted to get everyone's thought on this. It's something I noticed even before articles like this were written. In fact it's something i've noticed for a long time now. It's been a staple of conservatism for a long time that most of the MSM is liberally biased. Those on the left ignore the bias of CNN/MSNBC and harp on Fox News, thinking they're brilliant by calling it Faux News, and insisting they are Right wing biased. Which, in fact, they are. What i find interesting in all this is that most liberals are too blind to realize that Fox is so popular because they fill a void that CNN and MSNBC leave open. Mainly, their insistence on not reporting on certain topics proves their liberal bias, much more so then what they do or say in the reports they do give. This article helps back that up when someone who realizes they aren't reporting on a topic as they should goes on the attack and tries to divert attention to Fox's over-coverage instead of dwelling on the importance of their own lack of coverage.
What i wouldn't give for a news organization that reported on everything, with no bias, and decided that maybe, just maybe, their viewers might have enough brain cells to take that information and then formulate their own opinion. Stop spoon feeding me preselected information with the goal to shape my opinion to your master plan. That goes for CNN, MSNBC AND Fox.
