Do we need some partisan blogger to tell us if the media has a bias?
Why not see what they have to say and gather facts from where ever we can and make our own decision. Or remember what they have said in the past and see how it worked out in reality?
For instance; the NYT allowed Judith Miller to publish Bush administration hand outs full of false claims to fan support for war in Iraq.
When Dan Rather reported on G.W. Bush's AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard the entire industry dumped on him. Where was the critical look at candidate Bush?
During labor disputes we hardly ever hear from the labor side.
Supporting Democrats is far from liberal. This is the party that gave us a president who destroyed our manufacturing base and signed the repeal to Glass-Seigal and set us up for the great recession.
Some liberal press we've got.
Umm, the Dan Rather Aur National Guard story was found to be a fake and Dan was fired as a result.
What was that about media bias again?
Your post is typically warfless.
But he was fired. If like you said the media is all liberal, why would they fire him?
Now take another situation on Fox News. A lady anchor says that Obama would fund Muslim groups during the government shutdown. Obviously a false statement. Did they correct it on air? Nope (Only on her twitter account). Did she get fired? Nope.
So the evil liberal media fired the person for making a false report and made the correction. The "Fair and Balanced" Fox News reporter makes a false report and no correction or the person fired.
Now which one again is the bias news source?
Conservative Americans don't think the answer to all of the foibles of human nature is an all-powerful central government in Washington.
...
Yet I wonder, who believes that?
I've never heard anyone say they supported that concept. Did you just make it up, get force fed it or have it dribble out of your mouth?

Because the Left acts like that? Just a guess.
What's the solution to gun violence? More legislation
What's the solution to global warming? More legislation
Whats the solution to high jobless rate? More legislation
What's the solution to childhood obesity? More legislation
What's the solution to companies moving overseas? More legislation
What's the solution to making cars more fuel efficient? More legislation.
Every problem in society brings forth calls from the left for more laws, more regulation, and more restrictions.
So yeah, they do believe that.

Conservative Americans don't think the answer to all of the foibles of human nature is an all-powerful central government in Washington. But, they do expect Washington to perform its basic constitutional duties...which include defending the border from illegal invasion.
Here are some things that seem to be true, in spite of the haze created by a Media which is almost completely under the control of a Democratic Party which routinely employs obfuscation as a means to an end.
1) Deportations by the Obama Administration are not at the highest all-time. The Obama Administration has simply changed the method of counting deportations. In Soviet Union Politboro propaganda style, they count the ones met at the border and immediately turned around...in effect never allowed in the country to begin with...which was never done before. If the old method was used, Obama's deportations are way down from prior administrations...which is in keeping with his real aim, which is to let as many in as possible; to put them on the Federal Free Stuff Program..and thus turn them into reliable Democratic Voters.
The left Wing Media hides that.
2) Before Obama's illegal Executive Order which let illegal minors stay in the country, children coming from Central America was about 4,000 a year, and therafter it increased geometrically to 50,000 this year. It is obvious to any rational person that Obama's illegal act caused the crisis we have today.
The Left Wing Media hides that.
3) The omnibus Illegal Immigration Law that is tied up in the House handles long term Immigration issues...by granting what amounts to amnesty. It would generate lots of new Democratic Voters, but would do nothing to stop the immediate crisis that is currently at issue--the one Obama has caused with his illegal act. But, Obama pretends that is is the answer--if Republican would just pass it.
The Left Wing Media lets him get away with it.
4) The massive amount of Money which Obama has asked for to stop the crisis he caused, will also do nothing to stop the current invasion...it basically builds an infrastructure to keep processing the massive number of illegal aliens who will continue if this current batch is not sent back immediately.
The Left Wing Media hides that.
Two and a half years to go. Will the Media wake up in time to save this country from this incompetent and corrupt Administration?
Some stories are too stupid and crazy for even our our nutty conservative mainstream media to touch.
Any story from the ODS kooks here falls under that category. And instead of concluding they should be less stupid and crazy, the ODS kooks instead conclude a vast conspiracy is against them.
Absolotely false. Care to give me a list of these so called liberal CEO's of news orginzations and their major sponsors who pay their bills.Those who do get the final say are equally liberal.
Your squashing has been squashed. An examination of news stories over time finds significant liberal bias in all of it.

The New Media Monopoly describes the cartel of five giant media conglomerates who now control the media on which a majority of Americans say they most rely. These five are not just large though they are all among the 325 largest corporations in the world they are unique among all huge corporations: they are a major factor in changing the politics of the United States and they condition the social values of children and adults alike.
These five huge corporations Time Warner, Disney, Murdochs News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) own most of the newspapers, magazines, books, radio and TV stations, and movie studios of the United States.
These Big Five (with General Electrics NBC a close sixth) do not manufacture automobiles, or clothing, or nuts and bolts. They manufacture politics and social values. The media conglomerates have been a major force in creating conservative and far right politics in the country. They have almost single-handedly as a group, in their radio and television dominance, produced a coarse and vulgar culture that celebrates the most demeaning characteristics in the human psyche greed, deceit, and cheating as a legitimate way to win (as in the various reality shows).
It is not just national economics that is at stake though their power has led to the governments somnolence of anti-trust action. Nor is it just the neglect of broadcast media giantism by the government agencies that by law are still required to operate in the public interest. The public interest is to have the countrys largest broadcasting system in the world provide diversity in news, opinion, and commentary that serves all Americans, right, left, and independent, as well as access to their local stations as well as true choices in national programs.
What is at stake is American democracy itself. A country without all the significant news, points of view, and information its citizens need to be informed voters is risking the loss of democratic rights. Voters without genuine choices and without the information they need to choose what meets their own needs and wishes has produced something alarming: on Election Day our voters are forced to vote for what is the narrowest political choices among all industrial democracies of the world.
The New Media Monopoly, by Ben Bagdikian, describes these dominant media giants, how they cooperate with each other in the manner of a cartel, who runs them, and how this all came to pass in such insidious ways. It reminds a whole generation that has forgotten, for example, that the public owns the air waves, not the broadcasters. The book describes how all our media grew, including the Internet (and intriguing information like the first time in history that a computer crashed).

Yeah, those multi-billion dollar corporations are so "leftist". They're all ran by Socialists, right? Socialists who want to destroy America and Capitalism, right?
Multi-billion dollar for-profit Capitalist corporations are not in the slightest bit "leftist".

Umm, the Dan Rather Aur National Guard story was found to be a fake and Dan was fired as a result.
What was that about media bias again?
Your post is typically warfless.
No it wasn't false. There is no record of Bush during the last 16 months of his obligation.
Rather wasn't wrong. The flap centered around the type font used in the commanding officer's records. Without really finding if that font was available at the time of the reports the media jumped on Rather to cover up the media's darling, Bush.
But if you stick to Fox and the cable news you wouldn't know this.
I dont watch Fox or cable news. The letter produced by Rather to make the story was a fake. No one doubts that. Rather was fired. No one doubts that either. Given the media's treatment of Bush it is laughable to say they were covering up for him.

If you don't watch Fox or cable news where do you get your dis-information?
It doesn't look like you read the Boston Globe or any Knight-Ridder papers during the 2000 election cycle. Or else you would know something about Bush's AWOL.
Unless you are a true believer. In that case you would never read anything that challenges your preconceptions. That could explain your ignorance of those events.
Th OP is just another RW lie and shot at misinformation. A quick search will show all kinds of media, including the so called "liberal", and even the no doubt, unarguable and confirmed lw have published endless stories challenging the governments deportation numbers, motivations, etc.

They fired him because the breach of journalistic ethics was so great they had no choice.
Your equivalence attempt is pathetic. I dont know what "lady anchor" (who talks like that? What difference does her gender make??) said what. But if she were speculation on what Obama would do that is commentary, not news. You do know the difference between opinion and fact, right? Oh, wait.

Cherry picking again? SHow me all the MSM stories back in 2007 questioning whether Obama was really qualified to be president given his thin resume.

Again you're wrong. It wasn't commentary, it was a false report she gave. Here is the link.

She made a tweet apologizing about the mistake because as we know, old people are all about the Twitter. Then Fox News doesn't immediately correct it, just corrected it a week later. So conservative blogs could post a blatantly false article and misinform conservative some more. So much for high information voters you all claim to be.

You hate it when you get caught lying. And the American people decide if a candidate is qualified for an elected position, not you or the media or anyone else. We have a constitution that lets us make that decision when we vote. If you don't love that system, leave it.
