At first glance it looks like Pew made some ridiculous conclusions on what is opinion and what is news. And of course the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks distorted the conclusions even more....
Do you know the difference between a "reporter" and a "commentator"?
A journalist and a columnist?
The MAJOR fraud perpetuated by the MSM is they pretend they aren't biased but their output is totally biased!
Please explain why 85% of ABC,CBS and NBC network employees gave to Democrats?
Do you think these donors are stupidly throwing their money away by NOT advancing Obama/Democrat agenda in their news?
Would you please refute these FACTS as the bias from the MSM.
