Screw FoxNews and CNN.  I watch NBC Nightly News for news or MSNBC for talk.  I have neither seen nor detected bias on either.  I understand the Tiffany network had the Bush services problem with Dan Rather, but I don't really watch CBS anyway.

I disagree about MSNBC.  Mathews was a staffer for Tip O'Niell; Scarborough was a Republican Congressman and part of the Gingrich Revolution.  The thing is, the don't pretent to be unbiased.  They say, basically, "I'm coming at this story from my ideological stance."  Ron Reagan, Jr., is a flaming liberal.  Okay, that's their ideology and they are upfront about it.  I like that!!!  I know their biases.

I've though, briefly, about not using a colored avatar.  If you take a look at my comments on Schiavo, the Washington Governor's Race, or the Mayor of Philiadelphia, you could not assume that I am a Republican.  However, in real life, I tend to vote Republican and contribute to GOP candidates.  I don't see that it would be right to try to hide that.

I see both Fox and CBS as trying to claim they are unbiased when they are.

Good for you.  It's good to see a Republican who can admit what is obvious.  We need more people like you on the forum.  You should read the heated argument over the past five pages when it was jfern vs. Al and me.

Don't tell that to Jfern. :-) I have read the arguments.


I've gone to reasonably great lengths to note some of the liberal Demorcats on this site that respect.  I respect well thought out, factual arguments and the people who make them.
