The media bias I see is GREED. They pay attention to what type of news stories sell newspapers and bring up viewership on TV, radio and the internet. If it is Bill Clinton's BJ, there is a feeding frenzy. If it is McClelland's new book, there is a feeding frenzy.

Then "Greed" has a liberal tilt.

Your way of interpretting what you read is totally partisan.

It is irregaurdless of right or left slant.

No, I am saying whatever the slant is, they will go with what will sell newspapers and increase viewership on TV and the internet. If one news source out pooper scoops the others, then the other news sources will emulate them.

No public interest has a liberal tilt. There is only one major news station that has a political agenda. the rest care only about ratings. Lets compare these numbers to Britney Spears coverage

How much of Obamas coverage was the same reverend Wright clip looped?

Or Clinton in Bosnia.

Where was the liberal Bias when Bill Clinton's Total Acquittal in White Water appeared on page 4 of the new York times, while the cover had three story's about Lewinsky?

There is only one master to major news organizations, and that is the bottom line. And John McCain is boring old news.

Sorry, I missed the law that said being a Kennedy was illegal (or made one a crook), Kennedy is a far more likeble person than Nixon and would naturally have better reviews. but if you don't like him as the example, we could replace it with (who you think was the best president) compared to (who you think was the worst president), the point still stands that just because they don't present 50% positive and 50% negative on each candidate, doesn't make them bais.

Measuring bias by looking at who gets more positive review is stupid anyway, given it's childish to assume "fair and balanced" must equate with both equal time and neutrality. If someone's an idiot, he deserves to get unfair, bad marks. If he's not, he doesn't deserve to be treated neutrally as if he's no different.
